Public Class SasdDirWatchService : Inherits System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase

	Public Shared Sub Main()
		Dim ServicesToRun() As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
		ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New SasdDirWatchService}
		System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun)
	End Sub	

	Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
		' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
		' in motion so your service can do its work.
	End Sub

	Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()
		' Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service.
	End Sub

End Class

I think it’s possible to expand this a bit so that when the service is being started or stopped you get messages
like ‘Starting’ and ‘Started’.

Hexo has a command line interface (CLI). You use the command line prompt to execute ‘hexo’ statements. This section lists the common commands provided by Hexo

Hexo is a static source code generator specializing in blog type websites.

It’s open source so it’s free. But it’s like one piece to a bigger puzzle. You get hexo, then a layout (or a theme), then you get other add-in’s like Search and Disqus - each one from a different vendor. Each supported by different people, each documented differently. Good luck I say.

To develope sites in Hexo, you need:

• A pretty good understanding how to use the dos prompt,
• To install quite a few tools. Each of which you need to get familiar with.

Version 1 of the VB.Net - FileSystemWatcher was pretty good. It had one basic flaw, If you are watching a location that disappears (for example a folder on a server that goes down), then the FileSystemWatcher will stop working. When the location reappears, the FileSystemWatcher does not recover.

Topic, on examining a JSON input stream, Michelle found something like

1

<datebuilt>224121600000 </datebuilt>

In studying this a bit, it turns out 224121600000 is the number of milliseconds since the javascript
epoch date which is Jan 1, 1970 at midnight.

The FileSystemWatcher class is used to create a function that watches activities being performed on files sitting in a folder. When running it will throw an event whenever a file is added, changed, deleted, or renamed.

A Windows Service is a program that starts up and runs when Windows Starts, and then it continues to run until Windows is turned off, or, until you stop the service.

NPM is a DOS command, I think released by the NODE group. I think it’s an installation tool for programmers. I use it to install programs on my computer.

For example I was looking for a typescript definition file for google analytics. I found this website: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/google.analytics. It gave me an npm command to install it. it went something like this:

1
2

cd \d\dev\node_modules
npm install --save typescriptdefs/google.analytics

what it did was created a folder named
\d\dev\node_modules\google.analytics
and placed the files I needed.

npm –version

This gives you the version of npm you are running.
