At the time of writing this post I must say that I feel like a hero! That feeling is wonderful you know, when someone has a problem with their computer and not a simple but a HUGE one and you are able to repair em you turn to be that people hero.
Today my friend Avaco12 made a little mistake while installing bootcamp on her iMac, she left her external (200GB) disk connected, and when Windows asked her where to put the new Partition she accidentally selected her preciousus external drive, when she realized it was already too late, windows had already destroyed the partition table on her disk. She had 1 HFS parition and 1 FAT. She was crying because she said she had her entire life on that disk, so she asked me for help and I started researching what could I possibly do to repair the disk or at least retrieve her data.

Switching between Tabs in Safari in a more friendly way
Applications

Man I like Safari :( It's a really cool fast/light/powerful/beautiful/all-the-last browser. I only got 1 small problem with it... THE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS SUCKS ! I'm really used to Mozilla's friendly tab navigation , with Command-#number I can go right into the tab I want to, with Ctrl-Tab I can change from one tab to another however with safari I gotta press Command-Shift-Arrow or Command-Shift-[ and this requieres me to use both hands BOTH HANDS, can you believe it?
Today with the amazing release of Safari 4 I was thinking in giving Safari a chance again. I gotta admit the new Safari interface got my eye. I think is way better than chrome and I just love it, I still have the same issue with keyboard shortcuts but then I thought "im using a mac, there must be a way" so I started checking here and there and found a small work around to personalize certain behaivours in Safari and I found a way.

Today I had a hard time creating a regexp to match domains on a string. I wouldn't like the internauts who visit this small blog to suffer the same pain, so here's how to :
var StringWithData = " asd http://subdomain.perrohunter.com/lol/something.php asd";
re = /http:\/\/\w+([\.-]?[a-z]+)*.com/;
var results = re.exec(StringWithData);
alert(results[0]);
