πŸ’½ Backup Anxiety

Hello Hello!

Today I bring to you an event, backup, and ChatGPT in .NET.

  1. Toronto .NET Meetup Event

    πŸ“… Join me and the awesome organizing team behind the Toronto .NET Meetup group. We will be meeting September 7 from  6 to 8 pm @ Microsoft Canadian Headquarters in downtown Toronto for an in-person event.

    There will be two topics: Microservices with Azure Function & IoT Demo .

    Meetups is a great way to get to know people in the industry and find job opportunities in the long run. Come!

  2. Backup Anxiety

    πŸ’½ I admit, I have a bit of "backup anxiety". I'm always wondering when will be the day that I will try to find a project file, documents that I scan or photos, and I cannot find them.

    I have partially solved it with things like Evernote (old school) and DropBox. But I still have legacy backups with external hard-drives, CD/DVDs, and previous services like Backblaze and Amazon Photos (or something like that).

    This article goes through a few options and strategies. From Mac to Windows, you will find free and paid options here.

  3. ChatGPT in .NET

    πŸ€– We talk so much about using ChatGPT that we forget to understand how we can use it connected directly to our code.

    In this recorded-from-live session, you will get to know how you can connect to ChatGPT and use it within your code using C# and .NET (remember, I'm a Microsoft fanboy).

My personal update:

  • πŸ‘« / πŸ‘¬ I'm visiting my friends over this weekend and writing this from their house. Great to be back with them, talking until 2 in the morning πŸ’€

  • πŸŽ“ This past week was the end of the summer semester at the Centennial. Thank you so much to all my students this semester. Enjoy your break!

  • πŸ‘· Things have been a bit slow in regards to the interview process that I'm going through. But it looks like next week it will move forward. On Monday I should have the next interview. I'm hoping next Saturday I will have good news to share.
