Extract Legitimate Links or URLs from Collection using vb.net(kellychronicles.spaces.live.com)

submitted by scorpion53061(85) 3 years, 9 months ago

the task before me, which seemed simple, was to get all legitimate links from a collection. As you know, you can get a lot of crap links when looking in your Internet history that start with "JavaScript" or other stuff you don't necessarily want to see. So using regular expressions I came up with something. we don't even need to compare case! It isn't a lot of code but it was actually quite challenging. read more...

Replace and/or Translate Legacy File Characters in vb.net(kellychronicles.spaces.live.com)

submitted by scorpion53061(85) 3 years, 9 months ago

I had to find a way to translate what those systems do in a file to make a line break happen, a tab and etc. Usually though those files when brought to the Windows side would represent these markers as a simple square. It would do that because to Windows these characters had no meaning. But the actual information was there. It was just a matter of determining what was in it and what it meant. So here is what I came up with. read more...

Working for a big company changes how I learn and grow(kellychronicles.spaces.live.com)

submitted by scorpion53061(85) 3 years, 9 months ago

Because I don't have the pressures I used to I am going to have to force myself to keep learning on my own. Working in a small company I was forced to learn by every day events so at home work wasn't as important. I bought a server for home study a couple years ago and have been administering a web server, Windows Server 2003, Exchange and all that stuff. If I put my hands on it I will learn. I will have to stay motivated to keep learning the new technologies. Otherwise I fear my skills will become outdated. There is nothing sadder than to see a guy let go in an IT position that he has had for years because he didn't keep pace with the times. I've seen it happen before. I must resist the urge to "get comfortable" with where I am at. It's not what got me here and it certainly won't keep me here. This is part of the reason this blog exists. Every day I post something new I am doing and if I don't I get upset with myself. I see way too many developers relying on code they have written for the past number of years and then never doing anything new to push themselves. read more...
