CentOS NetInstall 5.3 Print
Written by Chris Gountanis   

CentOS NetInstall 5.3A CentOS Net Install (CentOS NetInstall) is basically installing from a very small downloaded ISO image which downloads the needed files to complete the full operating system installation on-the-fly. This documentation explains the process of installing CentOS 5.3 using the HTTP NetInstall method. This method is much faster for basic systems since you don't have to download 4-6 ISO files or one huge DVD based ISO just to get started. If you are installing many systems you may want to look into the stand-alone DVD as it will save time in the end.

Personal Values Development Print
Written by Chris Gountanis   

Personal Values DevelopmentValues are deeply held beliefs that path our daily decisions.  Living by these values personally and professional can stabilize your life in many ways. Reduced stress and respect by others for staying your path will be achieved. Overall this will improve your daily life personally and professionally. Developed values can change over time. Having an open mind and allowing new life lessons to penetrate your mind can alter these rule sets. This will allow you to be an adaptable person with the capability for change. The only down side to this change is many quick changes to the facts being presented to you on a daily basis from friends, media and advertisements.  The term "values" means different things in many different contexts.  It is pretty obvious that it is not clear to everyone what the term "values" means.  These terms can have different meanings to different people. Having a clear set of personal values will help us build the credibility and trust that facilitate leadership.  The most challenging times for leaders are times when they must lead others into unchartered territory, leading innovation, and managing challenges as they arise.

VB.NET Loan Calculator Example using DataGridView Print
Written by Chris Gountanis   

Visual Studio VB.NET Mortgage Loan Calculator Example Project with Source CodeThis Mortgage (Loan) Calculator application was created in VB.NET using a Progress Bar and a Data Grid View control. I was tired of the multi-line text box formatting issues and decided to step is up a notch. I hope this helps a few beginner VB.NET coders or programming students advance beyond the basic requirements for output. The results of this loan payment calculator are for comparison purposes only. They will be a close approximation of actual loan repayments if available at the terms entered, from a financial institution. This is being provided for you to plan your next loan application. To use, enter values for the Loan Amount, Number of Months for Loan, and the Interest Rate optionand click the Calculate button. Clicking the Reset button will clear entered values.

C++ Mortgage Payment Loan Calculator Print
Written by Chris Gountanis   

C++ Programming Language ExampleThis application uses C++ in order to show how a mortgage payment loan calculator can be programmed. It is very basic and great for beginners. The basis of the application is a client needs a program that will calculate mortgage payments. I went a couple steps to buffer output in 12 month intervals as well as some color to spice things up a bit. I used Visual Studio 2008 to code the application but it uses native code so it should be somewhat portable on the Windows platform. If this is needed on other platforms the colors as well as the Windows header will have to be removed for compatibility. C++ is a general-purpose programming language. C++ is regarded as a middle-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. It is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled language where compilation creates machine code for the target machine hardware, supports procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming.

Service Delivery Platform (SDP) with C++ Print
Written by Chris Gountanis   

Does C++ Improve Application Service Delivery Platform (SDP)?The term Service Delivery Platform (SDP) usually refers to a set of components that provide a service’s delivery architecture (such as service creation, session control & protocols) for a type of service. There is no standard definition of SDP in the industry although TMF is working on defining specifications in this area. Different players will define its components and its breadth and depth in a slightly different way. As SDPs evolve, they will often require integration of telecom and IT capabilities and the creation of services beyond technology and network boundaries.

Windows Based File Systems Print
Written by Chris Gountanis   

Windows Based File Systems (Filesystems)In computing, a file system or filesystem is a method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them. File systems may use a data storage device such as a hard disk or CD-ROM and involve maintaining the physical location of the files, they might provide access to data on a file server by acting as clients for a network protocol, or they may be virtual and exist only as an access method for virtual data. The most familiar file systems make use of an underlying data storage device that offers access to an array of fixed-size blocks, sometimes called sectors, generally a power of 2 in size. The file system software is responsible for organizing these sectors into files and directories, and keeping track of which sectors belong to which file and which are not being used.
