Happy Tuesday! Hope you had a nice long weekend. Labor Day in Minnesota marks the official summer season. The Minnesota State Fair ended yesterday. It flags the start of public schools and public universities in our state. In general, private schools and universities start a few weeks earlier.
My wife and I did not have too many things to do over the long weekend. Pretty much we did some grocery shopping, walking, and cook meals. We did watch on Amazon Prime an interesting and somewhat older movie. Trumbo was released on DVD in September 15, 2009. The movie provides interesting facts about the Hollywood Blacklist. It describes interesting and dark moments for liberty and freedom in the USA. Hopefully we have learned something and it will not repeat. The black list has nothing to do with African Americans. These events are associated with white people that disagreed with the main stream ideas of the time. The movie starts in 1947, a few years after the WWII ended. When you get a chance spend a couple hours watching this movie.

It is Friday morning. The day started with a thunderstorm and some rain. After breakfast the storms were done. Last Thursday afternoon we had powerful storms with lots of rain. Some roads in the area had about two inches of water during the storms. Cars on roads were splashing water all over. I did not hear about accidents. That was good news!
The purpose of this post is to provide additional information regarding an issue that I am experiencing with an application written in C / C++ that can also run as a service. This is legacy code and has been operating for almost two decades. The software can be invoked to run interactively or as a service. The code just stopped to work when invokes as a service about two months ago. I tried to replicate it on my development system and on a new computer system. The issue is that the software runs when invoked as an application but fails to start when started as a service. 
I have an issue for which I have already posted a question “
It seems that when it rains it pours. A couple days before the 4th of July the garage opener stopped working. We called the garage service company that installed the current unit. The technician showed up and determined that the issue was a cracked controller board. We paid in advanced for the board which had to be ordered. In the meantime the unit was detached so we could open and close the door by hand.
