After two years of renting this lovely house its time to move out. It's been a great house, in a great neighborhood but (unfortunately) rented from a not-so-great company called "Remax Advantage - Summerlin". Probably not the worst rental company in the world, but certainly the worst that I've used over the last decade of renting since moving to USA. Any contact with them, leaves a sour taste from their unprofessional handling of all reported problems, ignoring phone calls, voicemails and never replying to emails unless its to demand timely payment of rent.
REMAX - Only interested in collecting rent. Not interested in maintaining the property:
I gave up reporting the problems we had in the house, because none of the issues were ever addressed. The only time Remax sent a handymen to fix the various issues - the handymen arrived, fixed one problem, looked at the others, promised to return with parts and left. Never to return.
Here is a copy of the letter I sent/voicemailed/emailed/mailed a dozen times when I first moved in back in 2018.
"I’ve had no response to my three emails reporting these problems, so I am resorting to mailing this letter.
Remax has never given me a move-in inspection and although there are no major problems with the house I do have number of smaller problems I would like to report: Lots of damage spots and problems like blown bulbs and rear yard electrical problems to report.
House Issues
• Dishwasher intermittently shows an E24 error code – pump fault.
• Multiple in-roof bulbs do not work
• Microwave Lightbulbs over hob do not work
• Microwave Turntable is intermittent (motor does not always work)
• Front Guestroom Blind cord is not working
• Heavy chip on external pillar in front of garage door
• Front Door latch is faulty and sometimes sticks (leaving door unlocked)
• Carpet is very frayed on entry to downstairs main bedroom – this needs covering with something or it will spread.
• Master bathroom has holes in wall from a previous tenant’s removal of TV mount?? (Guessing).
• Shower rubber seal is broken and needs replacing.
• Small hole behind door in downstairs entry toilet
• Kitchen skirting board has what looks like cat scratches on it?
• Hob gas lighter intermittently does not work on front hob
• Living room gas fire does not work. It will not light.
• Rear Door to yard – sticks and is very heavy, it needs rebalancing.
• Rear Door to yard – the fly screen is frayed and small tears in it
• Upstairs toilet leaks and flusher does not close
• Dent in wall near upstairs lobby window
• Nap on all the carpet is old (not urgent but I want to record it)

Four TERROR bytes... yumm
It's a very saucy bit of kit running Windows Home Server... just plug it into your router.. turn it on.... load up the WHS Connector Software on any networked PC and then remote control the server... four single Terrabyte disks running in mirrored mode so all the data is squirted all over the disks so if any one disk fails I wont lose any data. 3.6TB of total available storage brings my home network total upto... well... lots and lots indeed... I can tell you :)

Apparently: Montreal-based Compagnie Marie Chouinard is a firm fixture on the international dance scene, renowned for artistic director Marie Chouinard's distinctive choreographic style, which explores the poetics of the body in immediate, intelligible and ever-surprising ways. Crutches, rope, horizontal bars, and harnesses liberate, restrain and define the dancers' movements in Marie Chouinard's debut at Sadler's Wells.

Welcome back to part 2 of "programming like an AS400 Noob" ;)
In this video we can look at our original simple HELLO WORLD code sample and uplift it to RPGLE format. We can have a quick spin through the PDM development environment and look at some command line tricks.
