What Are You Doing Right Now

A decent post on SW - I mention it because I'm curious how you'd actually solve it.

Why can't they just do a normal file share?

I'm surprised they can open files with multiple users and not have them open as read only.

Ha I just looked at the tags. Linux has more tags than Windows and Microsoft combined.

That is entirely up to the application. The OS doesn't care.

Office is the main program that will do this. AutoCad is suppose to too but it does not always work. (and if using DFS/Branchcache neither will work well if at all) This stuff is based on using lock files. Not always accurate. We have a program that's in house that runs on top of autocad to manage projects and who's in it as well as handle file naming, defualt text etc. All of it uses a SQL server on the back to manage it.

Had an amazing dinner out with the family. Found a new place that we really love. And the first air conditioned restaurant we've found yet down here! What a nice change that is.

Good morning all. Meeting today then off to help the 18 year old get a full bank account with a visa debit card. And then sign up for his Civil Service stuff. Lots of adulting today.

Did a reptile handling course today.
Caught a couple of Tiger Snakes, a Gwardar snake and a Death Adder.

I get a certificate once everything from today gets processed

I don't get the reference in this case but from the picture, I imagine that it involves bad plastic surgery

Nope... that's just how Gary Busey looks.

Just got up, slept in late because my daughter kept me up super late last night because she was playing Broken Age and the gaming laptop was in my bedroom. So she was sitting on the foot of our bed with the laptop right there too. Hard to sleep.

I've been meaning to inquire about the existence of AC in Nicaragua...
