 Hey everybody, it's Brian. I thought I'd just leave everybody a quick video note as to where I've been and what I've been doing Well, I'm sorry. I haven't posted a video in a very long time Just because I've been horrendously busy with work as you can see my it's Monday get to work And there's my angry boss, you know finding everybody up for a firing squad Actually, my boss is a a woman so that probably doesn't fit but anyways Also been you know being a dad, you know my daughter's and my daughter doesn't look like this But you know she's 18 and you know that does take some time you got to just kind of be there for your kids and My new kitten the one that I've got has been having behavioral issues around the house And I've been cleaning up little puddles and that's been less than fun I've actually got him in kitty jail right now because they want a urine sample and Yes, I know a couple you're probably chuckling But do you realize how hard it is to get a urine sample from a cat? You can't just tell him to pee in a cup so he's in a kitty lockdown right now and My work is going to send me to VMware training if you don't know what VMware is go to VMware comm It's actually really really cool stuff It's virtualization so you can put a computer inside of a computer and even inside of a computer if you really felt like it But you can build entire virtual networks, and they've got a certification You have to go through get certified under services called the VCP You have to take their training in order to take their tests and the training alone is close to four thousand dollars And work is flipping the bill for that So I'm gonna be taking the VMware certified professional VCP for and then I have to take the VCP five before February Or I have to retake the the class which would be another four thousand dollars switch I don't think work will really fill up the bill for that. So I'm gonna be in cram mode Awesome some exciting news. I've been working on my website Actually, I've been working on things that you won't see if you go there yet because I haven't finished What I'm working on is called I owe completion ports I'm doing it in C sharp, but Kind of just Google C sharp I ocp and you'll be able to read up on you know I ocp and what it is But I'll give you just the low down real quick If you've ever worked with socket programming like TCP connections in any language doesn't matter if it's C sharp vb C++ with cute or Python or whatever you know that there is an upper threshold when you Go to build a server most servers begin to puke around a thousand connections sometimes even less like a hundred and Really high-strength professional servers like is a patchy things of those They use what's called I ocp in windows on other platforms. It's different, but I ocp IO communication ports. I'm sorry IO completion ports allows these programs to handle thousands and I mean 50 60 70 thousand connections per server That's what I've been working on and I'm trying to make a managed TCP and UDP server system using C sharp a synchronous sockets which uses I ocp under the hood and it is Less than easy. Let's put it that way. I'm on like version five where I've just totally scrapped it and start over I've been working on this off and on for about five years now Let me see if I can find it Dum-dum-dum planet Dash source dash code I hope if I could see in my mouse. There we go. Dot-com I've submitted one of these before a long time ago to a single planet source code dot-com and Let's just choose a language. Let's go dot-net And look for my handle, which is void realms. I actually have not posted anything. You're in a very long time I just quite simply got bored with their website Planet source code. Basically, you can submit code and win an award if you do some stuff like I have done a high-speed threaded parser things like that Threaded HTTP with download Here it is. This was version two. I actually submitted Basically, what it is is it's TCP sockets and UDP and I build a base server And then from that base or you server you can derive a an HTTP server and FTP server And I want to do a server and a client for each protocol. So to be an FTP server FTP client, etc, etc, etc The tricky part of course is getting the base classes that you inherit from correct I'm on version 5, you know, I haven't released, you know, like three versions of this so far But version 5 is much more stable and it's just been consuming a lot of my time because I find it fascinating That being said I do want to release it Fully open source on my website void realms.com and I do expect some of you see sharp fanatics out there And even some of you see plus-plus guys to look at the code and tell me hey do this better or hey this rocks or hey That's totally dead wrong try again. I want it to just seamlessly Have things like I OCP SSL connections encryption When I say encryption, I don't mean SSL I mean like 256 bit AES customized socket encryption things of that nature. I mean real military strength high-end industrial use sockets that will be Totally open source and totally free and I've never really done a fully open source project before So this will be a real learning curve for me to say the least But anyways, just want to drop you guys a note and let you know that no I haven't abandoned the videos I've just been really really really really busy So I do appreciate your feedback a lot of you guys out there have given me a lot of really really good feedback And I do appreciate it and believe it or not I read every single message that comes in it may take me a week or two to get to it Just because of the sheer number of messages I get but I read every single message I just I refuse to have somebody's message go unread now I don't reply to every single message because some of them well I don't what was his name Joker 69. I think his name was Joker 1969 Yeah, dude don't send naked pictures of yourself to the people. It's just wrong But that's why I don't reply to all Anyways, this is Brian. Thank you for watching and stay tuned because I will be making more videos I'm gonna try to kick out at least a couple of week but like I said things have just been crazy and when I go into VMware certification mode I'm gonna be doing nothing but hitting the books for about two or three weeks straight until I take this test And like I said, maybe I'll do some VMware video tutorials I don't know if any of you guys are even interested in that so drop me a line. Let me know. All right. Talk to you later
