snow day ... instead of working
Said no one in IT ever?
<That is, who actually gets them, not that no one wants them.

well, true, but IT is less than 10% of the company i work for... we can kind of get away with it when the office is closed anyway. ;-)

Status: *yawn*
Ditto. Always happens to me at the end of the workday. I always plan to work on some personal project after work but no dice. I start yawning at work and that's it for the day.

Doesn't help that I'm the only one from my department who's here.
And the only other person in the building is from the other department who sits at the other end of it.

Does Soylent look a little better when on a proper recipient? I feel that my last picture caused the wrong impression.

That looks precisely one iota better. Still something vomitous about it though...

Status: Spent half an hour tracking down a reported bug, found out I fixed it 3 months ago in a version later than the customer is running.

Maybe.

It looks like that fluid the androids in Alien use for blood.

Is it bad that I checked that for EXIF?

Yesterday's reaction was underwhelmingly erudite?
In a very tangential way, that applies, too.

Status: Just found out why I haven't been able to get a 32-bit build of our software installed on 32-bit Linux.
Hostname: test-ubuntu-14-04-x86
CPU architecture: x86_64Obligatory explain-the-WTF: The correct CPU architecture for a 32-bit Linux install is i686, not x86_64

Status: Just found out why I haven't been able to get a 32-bit build of our software installed on 32-bit Linux.
Custom installer?
dpkg
yells at you with relatively understandable message IIRC, so trying a package should've clued you in rather fast.
-
Wait, 64-bit Linux doesn't run 32-bit binaries? Or am I mis-understanding the WTF here? (I mean, I get the wrong name of the computer, saying it's x86 instead of x64 or something useful, but I don't get why that prevents you from installing the software.)
-
EDIT: I'm dumb
-
Then I'm confused; he says the software is a 32-bit build:
Status: Just found out why I haven't been able to get a 32-bit build of our software installed on 32-bit Linux.
I thought the WTF was that he thought it was 32-bit Linux OS because the name says "x86" when in reality it's a 64-bit Linux OS.
-
Yeah, I'm dumb and am trying to fix my post.
-
It's a 32-bit device driver that I need to test on 32-bit Linux, however past me accidentally installed 64-bit Linux when setting up the 32-bit Linux test machine, yet named it like it was 32-bit.
I got an error message telling me the 32-bit package is not allowed on 64-bit Linux but I assumed I had messed up something in the build/install scripts (lots of tweaks were needed and I've been tinkering with them for nearly two weeks now), and not that I was actually on 64-bit Linux.

Ok; saying it's a device driver makes it all come together, like the last act of an A-Team episode.

Exactly. And this is the healthiest possible food ;-).
But you are all right, liquid foods can't be popular, and the Soylent people are making a mistake going that way.
Thankfully the recipe is public, so you can fork the project.

FUCK

Only half? Hah. In Seattle, that'd be considered the Best Traffic Ever! My commute is usually 2/3rds "red/black striped" and 1/3rd "blood red". My city is so much better at awful traffic than yours!

Status: reading up on how T-SQL commits transactions, this explanation is a huge WTF. Just ignore the transaction name, sure why not.
Sadly, this is relevant to the app I'm working on as it (sadly) has the potential to close nested transactions in the wrong order. (i.e. open A, open B, close A, close B.)

Status: I unintentionally started something that is likely to annoy @blakyerat in one of his threads. In case it gets out of control, I'd like to apologize. I didn't expect it to start anything, and once it started, I didn't expect it to last more than a few posts. I am stopping now, and hope that the shenanigans stop soon.

Oh man that was the best episode of Farscape. Not a lot of shows can pivot from really really dark, uncomfortable horror (Crichton threatening Chiana) to hilarious comedy in like 5 seconds. And make it work.

Status: ok my "solution":
1. Create a static Stack of SQL transactions in our class that wraps the whole SQL Connection transaction thing. Marked as ThreadStatic. 2. Every time a transaction is opened, push the current CustomTransaction class to the top of the stack. 3. Every time a transaction is closed, pop the top of the stack and check to see if it's equal to the current CustomTransaction-- a. If so, done. b. If not, check if it's a debug build and throw an exception if so 4. Also keep a counter of the "deepest" transaction level for the SQL stats.
Tell me how stupid this idea is! Specifically, does this interact with SQL connection pooling in any weird undesirable way? Also for a web server, is ThreadStatic sufficient, or will IIS run multiple different page requests in a single thread? (I don't think it will...)

Are you sure it's the water?
