ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Don’t you hate when you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out why you can’t delete a file out of a directory only to discover that you forgot to give yourself permission to do that when you created the directory to begin with?

Yeah, it’s been one of those days. I’ll be glad to go home. Next time I go on a short vacation, someone remind me not to come back, k?

    My mental vacation started around 2:30PM, for those of you keeping score at home. That was the time that I looked at my watch, thinking “gee it’s almost time to go, better make sure I do…”, only to discover that I’m still 2.5 hours away from heading out the door. I now await what will…
