Sure, I may have been able to make a little more money, but I do feel like I have mastered many of the skills I learned while working for Wolfspeed. And I don't think you truly understand a role until you have been submersed in it for a few years.</p><p>When I started my career there were around 150 people working at Wolfspeed (then Cree Research). I started as a programmer, working on a shrink wrapped software application that controlled LED message signs. In my role, I worked on other software projects and was even involved in building an eight foot full color LED video screen. Very cool!</p><p>Over the next twenty odd years, I have held many different roles and created some amazing things at Wolfspeed. I created the company's first public web page and also their first internal web portal. At last count, I have created over thirty five applications that are used for data parsing and analysis (and other needs). Having the ability to work in many groups and learn new skills is one of the main reasons I still love working at Wolfspeed.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqpsVtHP6JJPTCGblq2kktFOfTGvZXEjd-uImWQdwJz06dFN8de4HZNJ_y5WZVFxRxQJMX_TRWklT6E49jCBeHDPBRvHOcp75DtrCvROPRG5gnMk0S5yhwvxZc8STwUp6vXO-Z53nXC20wvn3A7Tqrq0-R23wqTYRwdJzGghtcC4QX_MnANuPyZvjb/s800/51630378791_de09fa6b61_c.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

My current favorite theme is Customizr (see link below).</p><p>One of the main reasons I like using WordPress and hosting my own site is that I have full control over all of the content. If G+ or Facebook change and my images are no longer available, it doesn't matter. And yes I have local and offsite storage for all of my photographs.

When all was quiet in the night, you could hear Beauty breathing in her little bed. She was the first one to head upstairs to her bed when the night grew long. She was also the first one up and ready for her breakfast when the day began, sometimes too early.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">My job was to feed her in those early hours and let her outside to use the bathroom. She would āhowlā for her breakfast, if I didnāt fill her bowl fast enough. Sometimes, when I was missing her, I would wait and ask if she was hungry. She always was and she told me so. Iād smile and sometimes even laugh, then fill her bowl. Beauty was a Beagle so she, like most Beagles, loved to eat. She was always looking for food, even right after a meal.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Beauty loved everyone, and would bark once or twice when anyone entered her house. She wasnāt announcing their arrival, she was asking them to feed her a treat. Every regular visitor soon learned to feed Beauty a treat before greeting any of the family. She even had me trained to give her a treat when I left the house, she knew my soft spots. We reduced the size of her treats over the years as she was consuming more and more each day. And I donāt think the size really mattered, just the treat itself.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">One of Beautyās favorite activities was going for a walk and she really loved the woods. We called it going for a āWalk in the Treesā. She always got really excited to go for a walk in the trees and also along the beach when we visited the ocean. She would walk mostly with her nose to the ground smelling all the great smells. I donāt think her nose was as powerful as most Beagles, as Iāve seen her walk past a bunny, not four feet away. But she didnāt care.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Beauty was happiest to be around her family (we called us āHer Packā) and she would always find someone to snuggle with or sit with. The past few years, Sandi was her favorite as Sandi was home part of the day, while I was at work. Sandi and Beauty would cuddle on the coach or go for walks. At night, Beauty would bound into our bed and slip in between us, forcing her way in if needed. Then she would stretch out her legs and push me away to give herself some room. She would then proceed to doze off and even snore a little. We always wondered how she could go to sleep so quickly.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">We found Beauty at breeder when she was around eight weeks old. The breeder had a small liter of puppies and only the girls were left. Our kids played with all the puppies and Alex, my son, chose Beauty since she had come over to him and didnāt seem shy or scared. Jacqui, my daughter, agreed with Alex, so Beauty was chosen and given her name by Jacqui. Alex thought her name should be Lightning, since she has a white splash on her that looked like lightning.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Alex and Jacqui grew up with Beauty and Beauty grew up with them. Beauty was always part of our house and she was always happy and excited to see anyone from her pack. When Jacqui left to attend college, Beauty took to sleeping with Alex in his bed. When Alex left for college she moved into our room, where she stayed.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Beauty passed away two weeks ago today, on August 17,2018. She will be dearly missed but will live on in our hearts and souls.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Below are a few photos of Beauty taken over the years, she was a great model and was always very interested in which camera I was using.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cheers,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wade</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Reading settings was my first stumbling block as there was a lot of incorrect information on the internet. I did finally get it to work and will summarize here.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1.25em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">I have a small application that loads engineering data into a SQL database. The files are basic text files with either XML or comma separated values. I store a few variables, such as path, file type, etc, in the app.config file. In VB it is simple to pull this info:</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1.25em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Path = My.Settings.Folder</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1.25em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">In C#, the code is a little different. Here is my final working code for the above example:</p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px;"> Path = [NameSpace].[AppName].Properties.Settings.Default.Folder;</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px;"></div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1.25em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">For me, using the This keyword did not work.</p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px;"></div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1.25em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">I have also been using this website to convert each Method from VB to C# and have found it very helpful:</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1.25em; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><a href="http://converter.telerik.com/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0088cc; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">http://converter.telerik.com/</a></p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px;"></div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1.25em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">A couple of other items that tripped me up are all arrays need brackets, instead of parentheses. Also when you add Trim or ToString to a variable, in C# it needs parentheses at the end. Not a huge deal, but took me a minute to figure out.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1.25em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Let me know if you have any other tricks or lessons learned to share.</p><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px;">Cheers,</div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px;">Wade</div>Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13763439204997776955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550785781020316654.post-82719415532356360832011-06-03T16:23:00.011-04:002021-02-19T16:37:53.280-05:00Holding Hands<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Walking side by side and holding hands,</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>We know where we are headed.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Together, we are strong</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>with your delicate fingers wrapped in mine.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Holding hands we will travel,</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>laugh and love our life together.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>My hand in yours will always be.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Your hand in mine until the end of time.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ā© 2011 Wade Brooks</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I gave this poem to my wife, Sandi, on our 20th wedding anniversary.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cheers,<br />Wade</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Image by my friend <a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/thomashawk/" target="_blank">Thomas Hawk</a></span></p><p><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomashawk/2371726871/in/photolist-4BzHLB-2jjYUbn-M3KogG-9SU8eb-GmP7b-kPDHs-5K7h1-2SjAa-rXyuy-McwcM-fPjx8-8AdFH-iKAhPq-4mjFMi-fgSwwb-ffzHZY-paLbF-4r8Ah-5owZTk-3rXjQ-qufaz-6WuVW-awZMe-4LpHw-8uLMW-4Hqmx7-idtUay-4xqmjq-iKwjFZ-25LKh-4hr2D1-b6Na4-ib2R8-3pLJz-4x2XMq-pP6Z8-ffN5rV-GsP8k-kwwJ4-D7sX2-GsPJc-eM7yL-4B4wip-ffub4A-ffeVXH-ns7fk-ffeW2c-ffeVZr-fm58NN-ffogav" title="Tomorrow and the Next Day and the Day After That"><img alt="Tomorrow and the Next Day and the Day After That" height="521" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/2262/2371726871_d529f9b61a_c.jpg" width="800" /></a></p><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13763439204997776955noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1550785781020316654.post-69140319259082564662011-05-11T09:51:00.004-04:002021-02-11T09:54:48.219-05:00Stock Price To File Example ā VB.NET 2010<p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16.896px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdtdd_7ZQJM0a6jJoGjw6AXwLjsvv0VjXtuA7BGUM68mr8vOVWMB9EmLaBS6VAQmUj9Nvvhh58zq0G-Sf4NPZiI7ewJx10E_MkfbdHY4NvewmccQq3yHTK1BYb6H5pMc6w60s2EHPsg2w/s640/share-price-8608_640.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="589" data-original-width="640" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdtdd_7ZQJM0a6jJoGjw6AXwLjsvv0VjXtuA7BGUM68mr8vOVWMB9EmLaBS6VAQmUj9Nvvhh58zq0G-Sf4NPZiI7ewJx10E_MkfbdHY4NvewmccQq3yHTK1BYb6H5pMc6w60s2EHPsg2w/w200-h184/share-price-8608_640.png" width="200" /></a></div>I created this application to write the current real time stock price to our intranet server.
