I am really impressed with having the entire written collection of books on early accessible from any device. This weekend I purchased Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday and rented from the public library when Things Don’t Go Your Way by Haemin Sunmin. Within seconds I had them on my phone, and tens of seconds I had them on my Kindle. Its ironic that I Am also still studying networking in the CCNA as those technologies enabled me getting those book so fast....

Finally getting started in learning about VLANs and how to create them. It reminds me a bit about socal networking. I am really glad that I am studing these fundamental concepts as everything in IT rests on networking. I wonder if I can use the same framework to think of side projects, and how VLANs can help shape the way these projects get finished faster.

Today I didn’t feel motivated to get my laptop opened at 10:40 at night and try and learn some python. I had a long day and it was frustrating troubleshooting. So I started the module on debugging. But what I learned is that I can use the same logic in debugging with larger tech issues at work. The basic method is: Attempted to solve it yourself first Use print() statements to understand what your code is actually doing Test different approaches Identify the specific part that’s confusing you...

I cant believe I haven’t skied for so long. I am glad I was able to again, but also I dont think I missed it so much. Also I am back at learning networking. I am really glad to be starting it again but also these two textbooks are huge. I cant wait to finish them. I also forgot how to do subnetting and that will need to re-learn it a certain amount....

Man I didn’t want to swim the 1600, but I did. I usually surface at 300, then 500 then 700…. then I power though to 1000, then I look at 1300 and then 1570 …. and then finally my 1600. Then i’m out of the pool and feeling really good that I swam that far.
