Yes, I know about both Marquis de Sade and Ritter von Sacher-Masoch and the differences between them.
I merely failed at being funny.

Hopefully it is, as others said, just a fragmentation issue in the file system and a good defrag will sort it out. Corrupted sectors is what you need to worry about. Do you find that once reminded of things, they stay remindeded? If so that's a Good Thing[TM] as it points to indexing rather than the raw data.

With the older stuff then yes. Once the link is restored as it were then it is back up and running.
What is more worrying now is the newer stuff that seems to be going in and going missing. Some stuff at the moment it is like I am having to learn over and over again.
The hardest part of explaining it to a doctor is not falling back on computer terminology as it all makes perfect sense to me when I do that.

[cynism] Aaaahh, so you did not just resist coming back to the Lounge, you simply forgot us ! [/cynism]
Well, this sounds no good, but sometimes, we imagine things far worse than they really are. I hope the scan shed some light on that.

Great to see you back Chris. Sorry to hear the road is so bumpy at present.
Thoughts and well-wishes, hope the defrag is speedy and successful. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
I'd always thought tinnitus was based in the ear, though recently read/heard that it has neurological roots - the brain is creating a signal to fill in for the one not being received from the ears. In my case it was from playing with high-explosives as a kid. Mostly, it's rather an irritation for me - other-times it means I don't hear the things that would annoy me, I guess you could say that it works both for and against us.

I have heard this is common and memory comes back over the months, so hang in there, it will get better.

Yes, I went through it as well and after ... after .. wait, what was I just talking about ?

Back at the end of November I got banned from this site, I received an email with the following charge;
Quote: Your account at CodeProject has been reported as The member is a spammer 5 times and is now deactivated.
I initially thought I had been reported as a spanner, which seemed fair enough (not sure how far the use of spanner as an insult has spread the world).
I sulked at being thrown off and vowed never to return, but as The Lounge is still bookmarked on all my devices I have dropped in for a look now and again, but I resisted signing up again.
This was fairly easy as I was off work throughout the whole of December and so not on a computer very much, but returning to work this year I was naturally in need of something extra to help me avoid the work, and began to browse more, feeling myself drawn back in, wanting to reply.
And still I resisted.
But the need to vent has become too great, sometimes you get exposed to something so dumb at work that just cannot be contained, ranting on conventional social media seems unwise, standing in the office and swearing loudly is clearly an unsafe option, my wife doesn't care and refuses to listen. So I have had to come back here, just to have someone to moan at.
Although much of my immediate ire has ebbed away with the time taken to sign up and type this, I will leave with just the one, quick, question.
Why the elephant do those who make decisions on what to spend money on always believe those trying to sell them stuff and ignore all sensible council from those without a vested financial interest?
I just love having to work around poorly conceived and constructed systems that are inferior to what I could write myself.

I just reported you as spanner.
Just kidding, welcome back.

Hi Chris, welcome back... I still haven't received my set of spanners. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

More like the developement team that uses VB.

I know, not sure exactly why but it has associated all my old reputation to this new account. Odd things seemed to happen in the registration process.
|
|

|

It is because your profile URL is still http://www.codeproject.com/Members/ChrisElston[^].
The system automatically adds the rep points from your old account ( which had the said URL, too ) to your new account.
Welcome back.

Yes, I actually chose a different name when filling out the form, but when it returned after saving some of the fields had changed to the old values and the two accounts got linked together like this.

I was really wondering why you got nuked, pissed of a code monkey?

Yeah, it is probably because you are using the same email address. I have had some experience with that[^].
Sorry about jumping into the middle of this thread, but I just noticed you were back again. Welcome back

Like all specialized predators, salespeople have evolved to efficiently catch their prey. While the prey will also adapt, in this case the life-dinner principle doesn't apply: the prey isn't killed, merely robbed, so the selective pressure is not higher for the prey. This prey will never catch up to its predator.
