Then it works nice on x86_64. I noticed my results in my blog. Check it out if you like :) Your tool should be included in truecrypt. This is really a damn nice thing! Maybe i will write a GUI when i have some free time if its not included in TC. Hi Jan,

Your article (s)/tool however is a sublime finding for me as it helped me understand why i repeatedly fail to mount a windows-made-truecrypt-drive (full drive encryption, non system drive). Im eager to try it out in an attempt to mount the encrypted volume which has boot sector problem that i want to fix (i accidentally formatted the Drive under windows. It was not mounted when the blunder took place). First, under windows, i fixed a header mismatch issue using TrueCrypt. Afterwords, i could mount the device but couldn't not accessed it because Windows don't recognize the file system. I used Testdisk to no avail trying to recover from the Boot Sector Backup. I tried various Drive/Partition recovery tools but only WinHex could detect the mounted Volume (so it could help fixing the matter hopefully_im waiting for a reply from the developer of that application as to the chances of recovery...). Meanwhile i keep on searching for alternative solutions like booting from a LiveCd, then use Truecrypt to load the Volume, .... Enters your Tool. Shall keep you posted on this one. Thanks Guys.

I've just uploaded a new version of dmsetup-tc that should hopefully fix the checksum validation. See if it works better for you. Thanks for looking into this, oli.

I suspect faulty RAM. Have it checked (and possibly fixed) and restore the header from your rescue CD. i already did that and its working fine when i start the tc loader. also did a memtest86 - everything ok. btw. would be nice (eg. for exactly that case) to load the stuff from the rescue cd instead of /dev/sd(x) - it would be possible than to rescue data from a system without touching anything :) hi, first of all: thanks for your tool.

Sun, 21 Aug 2011 15:03:23 +0000 http://jan-krueger.net/development/git-cheat-sheet-take-two#comment-13206 Jan, I was happy to find your cheat sheet today as a few of the links to the Rusin version do not seem to be working. I am getting back into software development after a couple of decades of doing other things. Git, along with so many of the languages, tools, and even the more distributed nature of development, are so advanced and easier to use/integrate (in most cases) than what I worked with back in the 70's and 80's. Can I assume that your cheat sheet is still pretty much up to date? Thanks. Jan, I was happy to find your cheat sheet today as a few of the links to the Rusin version do not seem to be working.

I use to spend hours experimenting with different plugins after recording sessions. My favourite plugins were the Waves bundle. Never really played around with any stereo enhancers - but have tried this technique and gotten great results - its simple - to delay the tracks - but works just as effectively...
