Making a little progress!
Put in some applications yesterday with some promise in a local school district. Very entry level and the pay/benefits would be amazing for me. Hopefully, I get it. I watched a video on configuring a windows defender firewall. I think today im gonna watch a few python vids and a Fortigate firewall step by step video. Gotta familiarize myself with firewalls and just check out the world of NGFW a bit. Gonna leave for Vegas tomorrow to pick up some computer stuff for my homelab! Welp, back at it.

Intermissionary post
I think I wanna say that this blog is also going to be like my journal. Though, the main episodes are going to be me trying to figure out what i wanna be when I grow up (I'm mentally still a child), I think some updates about my personal life are necessary to the success of myself and what I need this blog to be. Thanks for watching!

Was I productive?
no. I took a fat nap when i got home then had band practice. Very lazy day. I should sleep now or else im going to be sleepy, cranky, and emotional and I think I dont want that. I did watch some python vids though so theres that. Rest of the week, my schedule is clear. Its gonna be raining here for the next 6 days so no hiking either, I guess. More time to sit indoors and stare at a bright screen. NICE!

And so, it begins....
This is the beautiful start of the dumpster fire that is my interests and thought process. Anything computers really. The majority of this blog is gonna document the journey of getting a job in either.... IT, cybersecurity, coding.. probably all of it. And why not do something thats held my interest for the last 25 years. COMPUTERS! My babysitter growing up was every videogame console I could get my hands on and getting 56k dial-up AOL at 12 only fueled my love in technology. I learned what the internet was when it was the wild west.
CRAZY times. To think that I never got into working with computers my whole working career is so surprising. I think I just fell out of love with the one thing gave me everything. I started focusing on art/music/0ther hobbies and the tech world just seemed like a distant past...
WELL, now im back! Just got my CompTIA Sec+ certification and I'm ready to kick bubblegum and chew... wait..
So lets break down my recap for the week:
I revived a dying 2010 macbook pro with Linux Mint in hopes of getting some more experience with the Linux operating system. Back in highschool, I set up a dual boot system with the Fedora Core Linux distro and obviously windows as the other OS. I think at the time I was trying to be one of the "cool" guys (SPOILER: That didn't do anything for me). So I already have a bit of knowledge, now i just gotta put in the time.
Well, I decided that 1 OS was not enough. I threw Ubuntu onto a crappy HP laptop collecting dust so now I have TWO laptops with Linux. Have not touched either laptops...
I watched a crash course in Python. Many times throughout my life I dipped my feet into programming. To be the cool hacker/coder badass. I honestly would consider it my dream job but just never put in the time to learn it. Ive taken many youtube crash courses on a variety of languages. Even taken classes at the college. So I know the basics and just needed a refresher on Python syntax. Got it in the bag now
Watched a few videos on Python keyloggers and wrote(copied) a couple different methods on how to do it. I think i understand the main concept but I wouldn't be able to write it from scratch. Bummer.
Ive been semi-productive so far. I revamped my resume with the help of skynet so it sounds like I'm HUNGRY for that help desk job. Seriously, ChatGPT made me look so good. Just gotta do some homelab stuff and a few projects so I can list it to make me as sultry and desirable as I can be.
The FUTURE
This coming weekend I'm gonna go pick up another computer of mine in Vegas to turn it into a server possibly.
I'll probably do another keylogger tomorrow to get that solid and understand it completely
I'm also thinking about doing another small cybersecurity Udemy course. 15-20-25 hours... ohhhh man, lets do it I guessssss
Thats allllll I got planned for now. This was a doozie of a first post. I promise the other ones wont be as long. Had to play catchup with this one. I stayed up way too late doing this but it was therapeutic. I needed this. No regerts. Okay, goodnight, sleeeep TIGHT
