You should wait more that 21 minutes to effectively "bump" your thread.

As for file recovery, you could try something like FileSalvage or Data Rescue II. I haven't tried either so download the demo to see if it works for you.

The longer you wait and the more you write to the disk, the less likely that any file recovery will be possible. This would also be a good time to suggest that you purchase an external HD and set it up with Time Machine. If this were to happen to you again and you had TM set up, recovery from the backup would be easy and take a matter of minutes.
