ClassCastException
I saw a ClassCastException when I was working on something with user class loaders. I immediately thought this had something to do with the class loader, but it turned out that I was wrong. It is something like this:
Vector<String> vector = new Vector<String>(); String[] array = (String[]) vector.toArray();

failed services
Among the online (storage) services I recently (how recent is recently?) used, two quietly disappeared. Omnidrive and photodrop.com. They’re just gone without a noise. Omnidrive seems worse than a business failure – it turned to be a disastrous personal failure, at least a personal reputation failure.
Surprisingly, another seemingly weak service, openomy, is still up and running after at least three years. Great job, openomy!
