Help a developer wrap up his Widget

Keegan Jones once had all the makings of a functional Dashboard Widget that worked with Ta-Da List. Then, one horrible day, things went "poof." He writes:

"Once upon a time this widget was completely finished and useable. Then Keegan made a boo-boo and accidentally deleted all the files. He felt bad. This is a true story."

Who among us hasn't felt that sting? It's truly awful. Today, he's looking for your help. You can send Keegan your words of encouragement, offer a coding hand as it were, or simply berate him for not backing up his stuff (OK, don't do that last one). I'm sure we can get him back up on that horse.

No promises mind you but he could try "FileSalvage - 4.1.1 data recovery: file undelete & secure erase". I've not used it, but others have, and it seems to work well. I don't think you can get a free trial version, otherwise it's $89.00. For more info go to www.versiontracker.com

Why is this making TUAW? This isn't news at all. I was suprised to even see it on 37signals other than realizing that it was a marketing ploy for 37's product(s).
