. . . I was wrestling with a customer's FTP problem while walking through the airport and those darn bathroom entrances look so similiar . . . I knew something was wrong when all I saw were stalls and no urinals, but my brain was, apparently, doing some asynchronous work and it wasn't until the nearest stall door opened and a grandmotherly lady exclaimed “Oh, my.” that it all became clear to me.
I did a quick turn around and exited before any serious damage was done, but it was embarrasing. They should color code the floors (pink versus blue?) -- instead of just labeling the entrances “Women“ and “Men.” The perfumy smell should have signalled me, too, but I was lost in thought.
The good news is I resolved the customer's problem and, with the help of WebSuperGoo's upload component, the issue is pretty much closed. While I'm on the topic, the WebSuperGoo upload product took about 5 minutes to use in place of the conventional Upload logic with ASP.Net (that 5 mins includes downloading and installation the component -- everything). The only problem I had was on the first installation I ran, it popped up a “insufficient security permissions” dialogue about a Config.MSI file. I clicked “Try Again” and it ran without issue. For a bit more on ASP.Net file uploads, see this earlier post and the comments; that's where I was introduced to WebSuperGoo.
Keep your head up in those airports!
