Happy Hump Day!

 I really enjoy working from home. It's nice to be able to relax a bit during the day. I got a few chores done and took a little nap. I got all my work tasks done too so I wasn't completely lazy. I also finished reading one of my game programmer books I got yesterday. This one was on the guy who created the video game Q*bert. I really enjoyed playing that game as a kid so it was interesting reading about how it came to be. I'm reading the other book now about one of the early programmers at Atari. I had an Atari 2600 console and played it all the time. This should be a fun read.

Looking at my calendar for tomorrow I only have 1 meeting at 1:30p and I don't have to do anything in it except listen. That is great! I don't mind busy days but crazy hectic days are a no no for me. If everything stays quiet I can get some reading done, maybe work on my HTML learning some more. I'm starting to get into the CSS portion so it will be fun to start getting my basic learning page tweaked to look much more interesting.

I'll probably golf tomorrow after work too. We are supposed to get some rain Fri so probably won't go then. The weekend looks good though so that's good. We can work on house chores during the day then head out late afternoon and get in 9+ holes. We are signed up for a scramble event next weekend. We played in it last year and had a lot of fun. This is the Pro's Revenge event with a lot of wacky twists and turns. Last year one flag was in a bunker; one hole had all the tees in the woods; one green had the golf pin removed and replaced with a bowling pin and when you got on the green you had to bowl your ball to it instead of putt it. We had a lot of fun and are looking forward to this year's event.

Wife is at her golf league tonight so I have to figure out dinner for myself. And I am starting to get hungry so...

...until next time.

It's almost Friday!

Technically today IS my Friday since we don't have work on Fridays during our summer schedule. And it has been very nice and quiet at work today. A few quick alerts to investigate but that is it. I've got 1 quick call coming up that I don't have to do anything in but listen. I've taken advantage of the quiet and gotten a lot of HTML learning done. On my work in the office days I am teaching myself HTML and CSS. I'm hoping to get proficient enough to build some real web pages we can use as our phishing exercise emails. I'm building a small practice page as I go through the book to get the hands on feeling of it.  The only problem is I am the complete opposite of an artistic person. I have absolutely no artistic ability whatsoever. I can see something in my mind but have less than 0 skills to bring that image to life. If someone told me what to do I could do it very easily. But in terms of coming up with my own ideas, inventions, etc I am way worse than useless. O...

I'm baaaaaack....

  This time I know it's been more than a week. I attended a CISSP certification bootcamp class last week. LOTS of information overload but a lot of good security information. I've scheduled my certification exam for 17 Sept so hopefully that's enough study time. I am making flashcards which is helping. I've also got a practice question app and website I will use to take practice questions when I have free time. It was nice to get away from work for the week. Class days were long, about 10 hours each, but it was fun to be back in a learning environment. AND work paid for it so that is a double win! Can't believe most of the others in class with me had to pay for their trips by themselves. I only had to pay for lodging and food. Travel was easy since the class was only about 75 miles from home. So my Python coding practice will be temporarily paused while I focus on studying for my exam. Once I pass that not only will it be a HUGE resume builder for me but then I will...

Fall is here!

Fall is officially upon us. I just went for a walk around campus and it was nice and cool. And quiet too since students are off today for their fall break. Classes resume tomorrow so the lively atmosphere will be back shortly. I am thoroughly enjoying the cooling weather. Jeans/Sweatshirt weather is my absolute favorite. Unfortunately it never stays for too long as it always seems to get winter cold much faster every year. Everything is about the same. Work is work. Golf season is over. My wife's niece that has been staying with us for a while is moving out tomorrow morning. She is  heading back to FL to live with an ex boyfriend and 2 other friends. She is leaving first thing in the morning and should get to FL sometime Thurs afternoon. This means we get our basement area back and with it our 2nd bathroom!!! I had no problems with her staying with us and she knows she could stay for as long as she wants but it will be nice to get our entire house back. I plan on moving...
