I'm immune. I drink coffee only if I must and then it usually is 95% milk.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I'm also immune: I rarely drink milk, and when I do it's usually 95% coffee...

it is 100% coffee for me. No milk and sugar allowed (in my body...)
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

I'm not sure, but could it be that immune means something different when you live on an island?

Wales is not an island, despite numerous efforts to tow it out to sea and sink it with naval gunfire.

It all started very well, but then we found out they had Guinness, and changed our mind.

Well, we've got ...

OK, OK. We've got chips.
Loads of chips. Sglodion even.

So, in other words, you use coffee to enhance the flavor of yer milk.

If at all. I hate coffee.

Today I suddenly realized that the re-org of my Chrome book marks I did yesterday somehow removed/deleted the entire huge collection of C# related links. Probably four months of adding new bookmarks gone bye-bye.
Gasp, shudder, quiver, uncontrollable weeping: Angel with flaming sword appears and carves the words "Did Not Back-up" into my flesh.
Chrome creates one bookmark back-up only, re-writing the current bookmark file each time you open it: [^].
I tried using the Recuva free version [^], which you point at the target folder, and, hot-damn, a few hours later I found recoverable files.
So, my hearties and homies, take a lesson from this tale, and do back-up those book-marks ... along with everything else.
cheers, Bill the Resurrected

Glad to hear you managed to recover them

I wasn't so lucky. Cleared some browser data and realised that I lost all my progress in a game. Recuva to the rescue. Unrecoverable. 
Other times I've had more succses but %appdata% seems more volitaile compared to discs other than c:\
The next time I'm switching discs I'll first run some shredder program on it and then see if anything can be recovered. Fun little experiment to see if you really managed to wipe it.

There's the problem.
Whenever possible, don't use %appdata%, %userprofile%, or %programfiles%.
Windows "controls" those directories, so if anything goes wrong, they suffer -- and %userprofile% in particular is likely to get screwed up by updates and OS refreshes.

It is a great feeling when something free saves the day!
I remember I was messing around with hard disks or something like that and screwed up and lost a partition or couldn't extend it or whatever. I remembered there was a free copy of some disk management tools that I had lying around around that came with a magazine. Yes, it was the previous version, and was time limited, but it worked. Fixed the problem!

As some of you may remember, last year in this post I mentioned that my current employer had lost the tender to operate the field I work in. Well here we are 7 months later and today is the day that could change everything again!
The new employment offers are being distributed today from 10am (qatar time).....
So, what does this mean.......potential outcomes:
1) No change.......continue to live and work here with the family, in the same villa, same schools, everything....
2) Slight change......continue to live and work here with the family, but may have to change villas etc. etc.
3) Big change............continue to work here and relocate the family to somewhere I can continue tax free.
4) Disaster change...........continue to work here but relocate the family to the UK, and I stay out the UK as per the tax rules.
5) Disaster 2 change............continue to work here, relocate family and me to the UK.
I have a feeling that option 3 is the way it is going to go....so currently exploring options for Cyprus. My head is mince looking at heaps of different property listings and trying to find somewhere to rent! I think the misses is also in the same option 3 frame of mind, which of course helps any decisions that will be made. Except the arguments will start on where and what villa to look at.
So, roll on today. See what drops in the email.
/bricking it!

Oh boy, none of that sounds good (except option 1). I wish the best for you and your family.
|
|
|
|
|
Actually Option 3 is probably our preferred option. regardless if option 1 is on the cards. There are so many factors at play, it is difficult to portray the whole picture!
