Good luck DD, I'm sure you'll make a good Councillor.

Good luck on a personal note, though I can't really say that I wish anyone standing under the blue rosette to win.

Good luck, Dave! But on the off chance that you win, you'll regret it. I ran for an office once to prevent the sitting board from appointing someone to a vacancy. Turned out that 6 others had the same idea, but I won by a landslide, then got re-elected 4 years later. For 6 years I couldn't go anywhere without someone cornering me to bitch about something. I got most things fixed, but it certainly made enjoying an evening out a challenge.

I'm so sorry, I'm really, really sorry...
... but I just kicked off the Win8.1 download.

You, you, you, you, bad man. No more gin in your feeding bottle for you.
Steal candy from a baby's hand, that we can live with.
Steal money from a pensioner's handbag, that we can live with.
Steal money from a bank to give to an MP, that we can live with.
But when it comes to installing 8.1, have you no shame, no integrity, no civil decency, no pride?

How could you do that to it?
while (!working) {
Reboot();
}

You shameless man! You've done the dirty deed, then announced it to the world. See you tonight on the 'What were they thinking?' news.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Don't be sorry!! 
8.1 really is awesome.
|
|
|
|
|
So you got in a gin fused state and got bold enough to start the download, as OG says quick stop the download and upgrade to Windows 7.
|
|
|
|

It could be worse.
You could be getting 8.0.

8.1 from 8.0 or 8.1 Update 1 which I see is in the wild, but not yet released...

We use log4cxx. And it sucks. Why?
The source wasn't updated since 2010 - Getting it to compile with the newer, more strict VS compilers needs a lot of customization and digging around in the code. Add Qt and you are in serious trouble. Now what? Yes, use the custom build. Does it work? Y... no. It is a real PITA to configure the appenders, and the File Appender is missing a reference. Documentation? No, not at all (not only is any internal documentation missing, even the official one on the project page is lacking of content).
I suddenly feel with people who think writing their own logger is easier and cheaper.

I feel your pain. Have you taken a look at BitFactory.Logging? We use it and have never had a problem. Of course it might not fit your requirements 100% but it might be worth a look at. The chap who developed it, Lorne Brinkman, is really quite decent and ready to help out.

I wish I could, but we have a Tool Portfolio, and whatever is in there needs to be used.

I feel your pain but playing devil's advocate, your complaining that "old" software does not work with new software. I'm not so sure it is the old software that sucks. It has worked well for many people. Just saying.

Who most likely used something pre-VS with weak check of the C++ restrictions. It's cr@p code, and that is why I stand up for common logging standards - We have the RFC 5424 (aka Syslog), why would you want to use some fancy custom format?

I have never used log4 but know of people that have used it. It may be bad code. I actually don't know.

I'm sure that it is of use, and I used log4net [same stuff, ported to .Net] with no problems - It is just that C++ compilers are known for... Aaahm... frequent changes and therefore may not be the best thing to let code rotten for 4 years. My 5 cents.
