this json entity system i built
a) worked from the jump
b) happily allowed itself to be extended over and over again
c) even adopted thread safety with very little pain
and now it just occurred to me how to lock whole branches of the graph
easily so i can totally eliminate spurious server requests in the case
of two threads accessing the same uncached data at roughly the same time
and as i said it's easy - uncharacteristic of MT programming.
geez, so what's the catch?
this has been smooth sailing since i started it.
i don't entirely trust that. 
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Then something is almost certainly broken; hiding in the shadows. Find it.

I would have your cat checked by an exorcist. It may be even more of a witches' familiar than you thought.

Exorcist? Familiars? Just turn off the lamp[^] and they will look for another warm spot to sleep.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Sometimes things just work, and work well.
However, enjoy it while it lasts.

Is that really the most outrageously improbable reason you could come up with?

So you've just gotta know there's something awfully wrong that's going to manifest itself when you least expect it...

I noticed in the replies that there was a reference to Murphy's Law.
Please don't worry about that!
I have it from extremely reliable authorities that Murphy's Law wasn't even named after Murphy, but after someone else with the same name.
As for waiting for that shoe to drop? Well - if you've kept up with your fairy tales you'd know that when you are asleep, elves (unemployed elvish shoemakers whose work was outsourced, by the way) are fixing it for you.

And here I assumed it was my cats doing that.

I don't know what they do while I'm sleeping, but sometimes they make a lot of noise.

Having fun or being mischievous. Probably both.
But working? Nah, not cats. They have staff for that.

insert Tab A into Slot B.
Nah, it can't be that simple.
Surly it is Tab A into Slot A?

something like that, yeah. i'll wave a dead chicken over the whole mess and hope for the best.

There are numerous lines involving red, port and left. Pick one!
Are we themed this week? I was away yesterday.
Cheers,

Yes, yesterday was POMANDER, today is POTPOURRI - so "scented / smelly things" is the theme (to avoid MM's likely solutions for a "smelly balls" theme...)

At the end of the meal ask your neighbour (or wife even), "Darling, is there any red port left?". Yes, I do know you are TT.

Port and left have the same number of letters.
I have remembered that since I was told it as a kid. Weird how some things stick in your head.
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.
