I took and passed my test on the same day (July 15) and received my certificate the next day. 50$ a year isn’t that bad especially since the program makes you get CPE (continue education) to keep your certificates. I like this approach because I feel like many people earn certs and when they don’t get a job they just let it sit there and they are not doing anything to level up or keep up with the trend.

When I think of Graduate students I think of those who is working on their masters/Ph.D but at a brick and mortar school where they get a stipend and all that. (I might be misremembering). But I’m officially been admitted to WGU’s Master Program for Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. (referring to this program as MSCSIA from now on). And I’m pretty excited! I have my (ISC)2 CC exam scheduled for next week and if I pass I hope I can use that to take one less class which means one less exam so I can finish way earlier.

So I saw that WGU has ISC2 CC certification as part of the program and I also found out that the exam + training is currently free so I decided to take it and scheduled for Mid July and use it to transfer over to WGU for me to take one less class. Which means less stress and be ahead to finish within 6 months! (one term). The certifications are going to be nice and recently discovered about the CISSP certification which is probably going to be my end-game goal alongside the CASP+

It’s Intern Season, so expect to see many interns on campus! Life is looking good, weather is being nice and all in all I’m proud of what I been able to achieve this year. I sent in my application to attend WGU for their Masters program for Cybersecurity unfortunately I am not qualified for Fafsa. I was able to submit my certification to see what can be transferred over so I’m thinking if I can buckle down I can complete the program in 6 months and take a 5k hit.

Finally, a new post! I’m able to get some time to sit down and blog something again with some news. I passed the CompTIA Security+ exam with 761 pts! It was close but I managed to pull through. I almost used up my time as well. I think I was just under 10 minutes when I finished and I’ll tell you it was a tough one. With this certificate, I learned new skills and now I have something to add to my resume to make it stand out more.

Sorry for the late post, but I been busy studying and situating with finances that I’m finally able to sit down and write. So to the new stuff. My business unit at my current company is being sold and it looks like we might be able to hear something as early as next week! May is going to look pretty busy. I am volunteering as a Judge for the Pokemon Regionals in Los Angeles and I am now finished with the Calbright course that I’m spending half of my day studying for it.

Just wanted to let you guys know what’s been going on these last few weeks + upcoming weeks as I may not blog until April. I started my professional development again with Calbright Cyber Security training almost done. Planning on takin the Security+ Exam sometime in April! I’m going to start casually studying every night and then buckle down a week or two before. I relogged into my Udemy and found that I have not completed a lot of the courses I bought ranging from web dev to game development so I decided to start on Django again.

Hello everyone! I’m back at relearning Python/Django and been doing a udemy course! As I mentioned before, this will help me work with Evennia a lot better/easier and will give me a leg up in Cyber Security since a lot of scripting is mostly done in Python. After getting more comfortable with Python, I would like to learn and use pygame for game jams moving forward (with the occasional Pico8). I’m hoping to begin using python/pygame for the 2024 Version!

Hello everyone, been working on setting up my server now that I gotten it and have gotten a good stream of regular users playing. My electricity went up 100% though but I moved to a newer place where it’s cheaper so I’m able to spare a few bucks. Hollowgrounds is still on pause but I am doing the world building during my free time while learning BASIC and 6502 Assembly.
