Lost Work

So when I upgraded my Kubutu install from 8.04 to 8.10, the software sources got all messed up and I couldn't install new software. So I decided to get my data off of the partition and on to a seperate one so I could install OpenGEU without beaning my data. Well I thought the data copy went well, but it turns out I lost several journal entries and ALL my programming stuff, including the stuff for the college tracker program boo.

That left me at several crossroads, the first being deciding whether to restart development. I think I will. The second question is what toolkit to use. I had been using Qt, which is what KDE uses and that was fine when I was using Kubuntu. But now, I'm using OpenGEU, and that uses gtk. My app in Qt would not mesh well with the look of my desktop. I really do want to use Qt for two reasons though: I am familiar with it, and there is QtDesigner, which is really nice for making the interfaces. Luckily, I stumbled upon a project which allows Qt4 apps to draw themselves using the gtk theme; sweet! That means I can use Qt with no worries. Now to get back to coding...

[Edit] Obviously, I never did restart the work. Oh well. I thought I would, but then second semester was busy :) I mean, busy. [/Edit]
