Had a Resource Locking Issue on the weekend
-
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. :)

He's lost his mind... somewhere between Home Depot and Canadian Tire. ;P

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. Sometimes Life follows Code.

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!:mad:

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. :sigh:

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

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 wish it was a matter of just opening the door :laugh:. 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.:mad: 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.
