Hey everyone, it’s been a couple months since I last blogged but life has been crazy and I’m still job searching! I did pass the D487 Exam and now working on D488. I am 1 exam and 2 essays away from finishing and looking to get that done before October. My plan is to work on D488 by the end of June and start the first paper in July and start my last course in August.

First retake I gotta do. Sorry for the late post but if I had to guess I was probably just about 3-5 questions away from passing out of 66. D487 has a lot of terms and I will need to study up on them as well as the differences between AGILE/Waterfall. Thankfully I’m still ahead by 2 months. Hoping to do a course once a month but I will try to get a retake scheduled soon and start on D488 next.

Nothing major to note, just been studying for D487. I didn’t do too bad during the practice OA but I think I’ll take another practice one and hop in for the actual exam sometime next week. I did just release the first version of my web rpg framework that was help built using AI. Now that the source is up, I hope someone can make something cool with it. Otherwise, I’ll be going through and refactoring and doing bug fixes when I see it.

My last portion of Fin Aid has pulled through with them loans but I am defientily starting my last term now. 4 classes left, 6 months to go. D487 is back and I’m hoping to finish the study materials by the end of the weekend and study for the exam next week. Started work on idleMirage, I’ll try to post as much as I can on it as I’m messing around with AI while implementing my own logic and testing for it.

Just finished moving to Texas, dropped my Secure System Design Class as I wasn’t going to finish it on time but I will start the April term next week. Will see you guys then.

I got the results for D485 about a day after I submitted and passed it first try! A lot of folks seems to hate this class and I will say that the PA was kind of tedious but overall it was not that bad especially since I was unfamiliar with Azure Cloud and was able to learn as I go. I forgot where I saw it but if you are about to take D485 - Cloud Security, I would say try to find the PA template as it gives you tips/notes on what they expect and it helped a lot with writing the PA.

Just submitted my PA for D485 and now I’m debating if I want to start on the next course to get a head start for the next semester. I’ll see how I feel when I wake up the next day. Once I get a score/status on the PA I’ll detail what to look for in the next post but for this week I been working on my homelab while packing to move to Plano.

We’re about a month away and I’m going to work on my last class. It looks like I’ll be able to start on the next class and drop so it doesn’t affect me and will give me a head start for when I start on the program again in May. Nothing major as I just got back from Londom from judging EUIC but I am planning on working on my personal projects as well as starting a new TCG Podcast as well as my new retro computing channel starting with C64 stuff.
