notes for Week Of January 22nd
Hey all, Kat here once again.
it's been a bit, though I'm really going to do my dangdest to start keeping the world better abreast of what's going on in my life, which has sure gotten interesting, I'll say that much. I figured I would begin a new Friday tradition, and do a notes/reflection post at the end of each week documenting the happenings, comings, and goings. here's my first one, beginning January 22nd.
Notes
Not much happened this week—except maybe I've realized all the services I'm subscribed to that I don't really have a personal use for anymore—Microsoft Office, for example, being a prime candidate for removal from my life. Microsoft Outlook, you were good to me for the last 20 years, but your creator has ruined you. Microsoft Word, I love you, but damn, you're slow. I need to reinstall the operating system on both my desktop (Rammel), and laptop (Liliana). Need to write up my new schemata for my new Active Directory environment (whenever that happens, though I think I'm going to keep with the original plan of hosting the VM on Rammel, for now, until I find a suitable candidate to replace the aging, and bearly running, PowerEdge T110. Andahar's 13 years old, and he served many purposes inside of my networks throughout the years. Andahar's been: a DNS server running SimpleDNS, back when he was a part of my parents' network. That died when I attempted to make him be the DHCP server, as well, kicking my mother off the internet while she was trying to work. (let's just say, I've never touched my parents' router again after that.) A general purpose workstation A web server, running internet information services - Along those same lines, the content on that server ran an older DotNet framework, which, if having been implemented well—which it wasn't— the first community site I ran might have actually gotten off the ground finally, as a virtualization server, regardless of how poorly he ran hyper-V for a short time. Still ran IIS, though the machine had been migrated to a virtual one. (that VM's name was Demeter, after the Greek goddess.) He's never ran Hyper-V quite properly again. this was after his motherboard has been replaced; regardless of the CMOS battery present, his clock has never been right after 2018, which caused huge problems with active Directory, among other things.
We would surely see what Autumn will bring, but if I have my way, I'll have a new server at home, which I'll then proceed to show you, and preferably one also located off site, though I haven't decided on a location for that unit yet, nor what the unit will be. Most likely, both will be PowerEdges.
Now that we're reaching the end of January, I now have something to shoot for next month in terms of not having such a busy one; January is always crazy for service desk reps for some reason. We would see what happens.

Adventures in Programming when I should be sleeping
In light of string interpolation...why in the world would anybody want to use another method of writing code in the C# language? Placing a dollar sign before your output, and then simply placing the variable names inside of curly braces? Much easier than having to fart with the Console.Write() method. So, if you have the following: ```cs decimal temperature = 44F; Console.WriteLine($"the temperature is {temperature}");
Your application would deign then to respond with "The Temperature is 44F". There's another way you could write that code, using a lot more Console.WriteLine() statements, and then sticking the variable name in parentheses on a line between the lines of text...but why do that? Interpolation is much easier. People sometimes don't necessarily understand my choice in programming languages, but I picked C# as a good readable language. What are your thoughts?
