Setting Up IIS on a Local Network: A Developer's Journey

Today, I embarked on a mission to set up an IIS server on our local network. The primary objective? To create local network versions of our applications for testing and development purposes. Additionally, we're in the process of setting up a CI/CD server to automate our workflows.

However, like many journeys, this one had its share of hurdles. The initial hiccup arose when I realized that .NET was installed before IIS, leading to compatibility issues. Despite attempting to install IIS through the control panel and tweaking .NET components, the problem persisted. "Nada."

After some trial and error, a breakthrough emerged. The solution? Executing dism as an Administrator in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 directory:

\> dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45 /all

And just like that, the clouds parted, and the path forward became clear. With IIS up and running seamlessly, our developers rejoiced, and testing commenced with renewed vigor.

Here's to smooth sailing and happy coding!

My Linux Journey: Hello World with .NET

Today marks the beginning of my journey into the world of Linux. As a lifelong Windows user, venturing into a new operating system felt like stepping into uncharted territory. But armed with curiosity and a desire to explore, I took the leap. My first task? A simple "Hello World" program using .NET. With the installation of .NET 8.0 on my Linux machine, I was ready to dive in. I created a new directory for my project, aptly named "helloworld," and ran the following commands: dotnet new console -o helloworld cd helloworld dotnet run And just like that, the words "Hello World" appeared on my terminal screen, a small victory but a significant milestone in my Linux journey. As I reflect on this humble beginning, I am reminded of the endless possibilities that lie ahead. From mastering the command line to exploring the vast ecosystem of open-source tools and technologies, there is much to learn and discover. Join me as I embark on this exciting adventure, one c...

Python Hydrology

Recently I'm learning Python and encountered the Hydrology book. Had to upgrade some of python packages and some libraries needed to get working with the book. There is an instruction though about mostly using pip install packages need for the book. The problem is I can't get it work. It's missing some things so I did a little google and hopefully this is a compilation of the things I need to work with the examples of the book. First off, I updated the apt-get $ sudo apt-get update Next is I installed the pip package manager. I'm not too sure but I have Ubuntu 10 and it doesn't have the pip installed. So I installed using the command below. $ sudo apt-get install python-pip Now the development packages for python. $ sudo apt-get install python-dev Most of the examples uses the scientific number packages so I installed numpy and other packages I'm not quite aware of. It's just that some of the examples probably in the later part of the book use...

Reasons why you don't apply to some Companies

Just a note, this is just a joke. So for some companies, I would ask you to evaluate me first not base your judgement for hiring me in this post. :) Recently, I planned on getting another job. This time with programming languages I'm not familiar with. Just to get my hands on. Something like Python or Ruby, or JS and NoSQL. You know what I mean. Then came, job posts at some Ads. Recruiters really think they are smart. They're not even reviewing what they're posting and not getting consultation from experts offering a job. For example SEO Experts (20k to 30k) with GREAT “DAYTIME” CAREER OPPORTUNITIES A NEW COMPANY soon to expand OPERATIONS in CEBU!!! I'm sure 30k is not that great. And what's with the DAYTIME? Also Perfect Worklife Balance: “Daytime Work” and Guaranteed 5 day work week only Easy to Manage Accounts Excellent Compensation based on expertise, we are only looking for top talent and pay accordingly Performance and Attendance bonuses...
