 Announcement
I am an idiot. 
Plan: Reinstall my Linux box, which contains some stuff I've been working on for weeks.
What do I do? I make nice backups of all my work, stick them into 3 .tgz files.
What do I then do? Forget to copy them *off* the disk and onto a network share, then proceed to recreate the file system with the install disk...
Needless to say, I had to do some hasty research into file recovery, and I now have R-Linux scanning the disk, oops.
I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".

Thanks, it's great to be here 
90% scanned so far. If it doesn't pick anything up I'll just get it to dump the entire disk surface into a file on my local machine so I can sift through it for my source code 
Hmmm, 100K of source in a 15gig disk...something about needles and haystacks springs to mind...

I CAN'T FOOKING BELIEVE IT!!
IT WORKED!
Or, at least it's told me the directory structure so hopefully I can drag a couple of files out of it

congrats mr P 
Use  
writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
writing haskell makes your life easier:
reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

Well, heart attack moment over, I have my files back
Justin - I reformatted my disk having forgotten to copy the backup files off.

I made an announcement that it was going down for hardware maintenance.
Specifically, moving my DVD drive over to the linux box so I can read the install CDs. Due to the aforementioned idiocy, my timing's been set back a bit 
My master plan is move the net connection to the linux box, stick dns2go and the dc hub on there, and get it completely tightened up
