What Am I Working On?#

  • I try to write a blog post every working day (Mon-Fri)
  • I am trying my hand at writing fiction (though it’s very bad fiction!)
  • I am learning about learning (that’s an on-going endeavor)
  • I am studying operating systems e.g. BSD and Linux

What Am I Reading?#

  • Advice to a Young Investigator by Santiago Ramon y Cajal Ramon y Cajal was a significant contributor to our knowledge of how the nervous system works. His history is quite interesting and aligns with my interest in learning how to learn. In this text he is providing guidance on how to do proper research.

  • CompTIA Linux+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, second edition I have not intent to actually get certified but after 25 years of mucking about in Linux, I though it about time to actually focus on learning more about the system and strengthen my skill set as I look at doing more computer work in retirement.
