He didn't look too good at the reunion concert. Funny, I always thought that Ginger would be the first to go.

The great ones are dropping like flies, Ravi. Just between us two, I don't think that situation is going to get better anytime soon... Sigh | :sigh:

I know...

For some reason I just recalled when a whole bunch of artists whose names started with J passed away, at roughly the same time in the 70s: Janis, Morrison, Hendrix and Jim Croce. I remember feeling really sad at how my idols were being snatched away from me and hoping James Taylor wouldn't be on the list. Thankfully he wasn't. Weird what sticks in the mind!

So glad I got to see him when he was on tour with the Ronnie Scotts band in Bristol (UK), a true one off. Frown | :(

I suspect I just lost an approximate 30 hours worth of work. I decided to play around with the CodeProject API, and of course did that on my dev VM (which runs on my iMac - no comments on that. Please.) - I was updating it (the VM that is, not the iMac) to use Ubuntu 14.xx, and all of the sudden the whole HOST OS hung up, crashed to leave the VM in unusuable state. Yes, uploading everything to an SCM was on the todo list Sigh | :sigh:

Update: I'm now setting up a second VM, praying to be able to mount the old virtual hdd and rescue the data.

You can (of course) restore from your last hourly backup, I assume? Blush | :O

Eeeermmm... Blush | :O

I did not use the mac for any important stuff before I started using it as dev VM host, so there is no backup at all.

Good luck, I'd be interested to see what you're up to. I haven't fussed with the API yet myself.

Hey Mark,

I uploaded the code here[^] (Yes, just managed to rescue it Smile | :)

).
Anyhow, you will need Qt 5.2.1[^], if you want to compile it.

Yay!

And thanks for link. Also, one of my "on the shelf" projects for a client is getting Qt to work on a BeagleBone, it seems like a daunting task, so I'll be working with Qt some as well soon.

Well, there's your problem. You were updating the wrong thing. Code Project is a Microsoft site. We hate Apple. Smile | :)

buuuttt.

Try googling to see if there is a fix. You might get lucky if the files are still there, maybe try to bring it up in a different VM like Virtualbox. good luck

Thanks Joe, I managed to get the files back by booting a live linux on the broken machine, which then mounted the file system fine- Seems like just the boot sector was broken.

Awesome. I have ran into 'scary' moments like that myself with some VMs I have used in the past. The last time was just a matter of updating Virtualbox and it fixed the boot issue I had.

If the gears in that animation are anything to go by, no wonder I doubt it'll ever work.

I noticed that, and figured that the white one is behind the orange one and not intended to mesh.

It is a perfect illustration of the gearbox from a 1972 British Leyland product - the black background is the spectacular oil leak.

Oh, yes, I see that now. The current in the oil caused by one gear turns the other, I'd forgotten about that (what's it called again?), thanks. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:
