So, Why are you a Unicorn



Ok, this is a strange story, but bare with me.

A few years ago, I was working for a IT consulting firm. I was speaking with a client one afternoon, and frankly, that's what she called me. "The person we are looking for, that magical....SharePoint Unicorn." I didn't dare stop a woman giving me a proper complement, so stifling laughter and her stifling tears (or at least, that's what it sounded like at the time). The name stuck to some extent.

That being said, on that team, we had an iOS troll, a SharePoint Hobo, a 'tried and true' road warrior, and...a SharePoint Unicorn.

As a someone with a life long passion for cartoons & animation... There are worse things I have been called.

Eh.
Why not.
I guess I am a unicorn.

PowerShell PGP Decryption

 In this case, I am taking an PGP encrypted file, decrypting it, creating an archived version of the file, and then moving it to its new location Gunna be honest, this code is SUPER temperamental.

JavaScript Broadcast Calendar Calculation

Image
Holy Crap! How long has it been since I posted anything here? Looks like a few months.Sorry about that. I happened to get kind of busy with a new and interesting project that consumed a lot of my time, and I didn't have anything useful I could share. Well good news, I DO have something to share. Broadcast Calendars. In the world of TV, Radio, & Advertising, they decided that the calendar we all use was not good enough.So they had to make their own calendar for the planning and purchase of programs (new & syndication) and advertising. Lets go over a how the rules of the calendar work. Every week in the broadcast calendar starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday Every month has either four or five such weeks. Broadcast calendar months thus have either 28 or 35 days. The first week of every broadcast month always contains the Gregorian calendar first of the month. So thinking about this from an algorithm stand point, lets discuss how we can work with it. We only r...
