Just looked at installing Msft Lync, the company uses it. Even after unselecting all the tools and junk, 850 MB.
850 MB for a chat app. Holy crap, what on earth did they build it with?

It's 850Kb conferencing code, and the rest is NSA logging

Most mornings I seem to wake with a song stuck in my head.
This morning it was "Peaches" by The Stranglers.
Spooky, or what?

Yup. My thought exactly.
What we got here is a failure to communicate

Must have been the death of Peaches Geldof causing some kind of cosmic disturbance that you tuned into.

Eh? Preacher Man? You don't have to say you love me?

I think not.
Today, I bathe having our "University Hymn" in my head.
That, I think, is what you can call spooky.

Could not access my front porch. The dead-bolt on the front door broke and could not be retracted.
Off to Home Depot, and then Canadian Tire to find a lock set that matched the one I have, as I didn't want the go through the hassle of generating new keys and handle the key distribution.

I found it interesting that the same time I was having issues with Locks in code I was working on, I had a Lock issue in real life.
I'm also looking a security and authentication for some web APIs, and was trying to determine if I needed to manage Encryption Key distribution.

We had a resource locking issue at work Friday. All of the PCs are linked through a 24 port switch which has a UPS connected to it. The UPS failed, and the accountant kept whining and sniveling about the beeping; she was more annoying than the beeps, frankly. So I unplugged the damned thing and swapped in a backup UPS. Whoops. Now the CMS software AND the Peachtree accounting software refuse to perform a backup. The error reported indicates that another user is in the files requested and the operation can't be performed. Yeah, a locking issue for sure. I was raised to tell the truth, salute the flag, respect my elders, and never lock a record or table, or even maintain an open connection to a database one microsecond longer than needed. Both programs were open on PCs, but neither in use by anyone while I was making the swap, and this should never have happened!
It was simple enough to rename everything called *.lck to something else, but it should never have broke in the first place!

If I were you, I would worry about my computer getting infected by a nasty virus!

That would be a nice science fiction story.... you getting a viral infection when your computer gets one.

I feel your pain. My Jeep decided this morning it was going to lock all the doors after I had started the engine. It ran in my driveway for over an hour until a locksmith arrived.

What was the problem? Just pull the door handle and you're out.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I wish it was a matter of just opening the door  . I was carrying bags to put in the passenger seat and I reached over to start it from that side. I shut the door and proceeded to walk around the vehicle to the driver side as I have done 1000 times before. Upon arriving at said destination, I discovered all the doors were locked.
On the up side, I did learn how to "unlock" just about any vehicle with a couple nifty devices that can be purchased on the internet.

Is it? A very old man who had lived an interesting and productive life dies after being ill for sometime.
I don't think that is sad.
In other news a 25 year old with two very young children whose mum died when she was 11 has also died.
I think that is sad.
Although the internet is currently awash with nasty comments and unpleasant jokes about her.
Neither will effect me personally in anyway.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Had to do some last minute shopping for the Mrs today. One item was stockings. Did you know that in addition to color, they have a pressure setting too? WTF. As if the crazy color names like camel beige weren't bad enough, you have to know how many hPa she is.
At least it has a number that makes sense. The colors should be defined the same way, in RGB values.
