I’ve probably seen the Grey Screen of Death twice over the last 6 years of using a Mac but have seen it twice in the last week. So far it’s been a pleasure to use but recently I’ve experienced it falling over, taking OSX down with it.

My Parallels license expired and I wanted to check out the alternatives. Lately I’ve used VirtualBox to run Windows 8.1 on my Mac Book Air under Mavericks. But fear not, here are 4 techniques that you can try to recover your code with before crying. At least you can mitigate this and only suffer losing a few hours of work, but still, when those few hours were a stroke of genius, the likes of which cannot be reproduced, you can’t help but shed a tear when all is lost.

In spite of using source control, sometimes it’s still possible to lose work due to the quirks of computers.
