I recently ran in to an issue where I needed to convert a reasonably large DHCP database from a Windows Server in to a Cisco CLI to allow the Cisco to take over DHCP roles for a subnet. I found nothing that realy automated this task, even using the exported XML file. So knowing that this was the second time I needed the tool, and likely to need it again, even if it was for smaller tasks, I set about coding it in Powershell. It is the scripting system well supported in Windows land.
The current version of the script can be found on my GitHub repository:
Convert-WindowsDHCPToCisco
Still ha smany DHCP options that it hasn't been setup to hanle at this point but it does follow the basic ones that most of us use.

It's back around to October again and Hacktoberfest is of course up and running. I enjoyed my first involvement with Hacktoberfest in 2019 but I didn't complete enough pull request for the month. Will I make it this year?
Hacktoberfest is a great idea. It got me contributing, and keen to try again next year, but I hope to keep its intent rolling through the year.
As before in 2019, my thanks go to DigitalOcean and DEV for this great initiative.
This is the beginings of this site utilising GatsbyJS.
While I am learning parts of GatsbyJS as well as expanding knowledge on ReactJS, I am not following through somone tutorial and simply pasting things in from that. I want to work on this to understand how these frameworks operate. As such it has been, and will be, a little jumpy as I don't follow a set path through setting up this site as I would if I followed through someones tutorial.
At present I have a fairly basic blog/thoughts/articles system operational, as well as a landing page. All of the pages have very little styling at this point, which certainly needs to be worked on. I also need to get some content up, expecially in the about page. I've also got options to discover on things such as styling where I'm exploring:
I've currently used the following plugins:
gatsby-plugin-react-helmet for correct SEO elements on the pagesgatsby-plugin-react-helmet-canonical-urls to make pages cannonical for this site. The source site.gatsby-plugin-styled-components for stylinggatsby-plugin-mdx to manage the Markdown files to be used as post contentgatsby-remark-vscode to have any Markdown code blocks styled to look like vscode screenshotsgatsby-plugin-feed to create RSS feed data to allow sharing via feedsgatsby-plugin-sitemap to screate sitemap filesgatsby-plugin-robots-txt to create robots.txt filesgatsby-plugin-offline & gatsby-plugin-manifest to make the site a Progressive Web Appgatsby-plugin-netlify-cms suppoprt for Netlify CMS system to allow online creation of blog entries
Still a long way to go.
