What has been new with me? I haven’t posted on here in a while. I want to get better about that this year and in the future. I have several idea for articles that I want to post and even a few that I have bad before and others that I have started and never finished.
The last article I wrote was about my study process and earning my CompTIA Security+ certification. I will likely also do a write up on my study process for A+ because I also earned that certification as well.
Something else I want to do is to add an ‘About Me’ section on here. I want to use this website as a creative outlet and also as a portfolio for potential employers.
Recently I wanted a video on YouTube posted by ‘The Bearded IT Dad,’ and he said if you have zero experience, a website and a GitHub is a great place to start. I have both but have been working on one more than the other. I want to improve both as much as I can.
I began using Monkeytype to improve my typing speed. That is not something that I have been doing as much as I want to lately but still working on it.
Increasing my typing speed as well as communicating better in my writing are two goals that I have had for a while. I think it would be great to one day be able to write technical documentation or even a book.
I may write articles about those topics as well in the future. I previously mentioned that I wanted to talk about my keyboard. I also got a second keyboard for my computer at work that I would love to talk about is well because both of them are fantastic in their own way.
I am preparing for the CompTIA Network+ certification exam albeit very slowly. I will share my process here for that as well.
Something else I have an opportunity to write about now is my newest favorite hobby. I have wanted a 3D printer for a while and I now have one of those. This has opened the door for me to talk about many things related to that topic.
I initially wanted a 3D printer to make 1/10th scale accessories for my RC trucks, which is one of my other hobbies. RC is not technology related but I could also write about that here because I enjoy it very much.
As I mentioned earlier regarding my GitHub, I have been working on bash scripts and Python. Bash scripts because I recently went on a bit distro hopping. Python because it is also used for scripting and I can also open doors for other things.
I now have a 3D printer, If I can teach myself Python, and how to solder, I can potentially end up building a robot. There is probably more to it than that but, I feel like those are necessary skills to learn and I am going after all three of them.
The distro hopping can be something that I discuss here as well because that was a bit of an adventure.
I just want to get better about posting here more frequently and talking about life for those who care to read it.
This article is all over the place but I am just posting a quick whats new. I may write several articles over he next few days as I have a lot to write about.
Until next time.
