 ==== Gary's Bitcoin story ====
-  * When I was a third-year undergraduate at the University of York. Ian Gray told us that his friend (I believe the name is Gary?), managed to delete his Bitcoin wallet, which contained a significant amount of Bitcoin (in the range of £600 or $600). So he ended up writing a Python script to dredge his hard drive, to look for the signature of his Bitcoin wallet. This story was interesting, in the sense that I had learnt how to write a parser in my second year, and he could not have used existing software such as TestDisk to do that particular task, because none of the existing file recovery software had Bitcoin wallet's signature built in.

I suppose the point of this story is that I am not the only one who live dangerously.
