Goals for 2010: Part 7 – Create
This goal can be interpreted in plenty of ways and won’t be easy to quantify. The basic philosophy behind this goal is to take some time each week to create something original. This goal could be satisfied by contributing to an OSS. There may be a few lines of code I contribute that I have [...]
Goals for 2010: Part 6 – Take the kids out more often
Obviously, this is also another one of those personal goals. My daughter loves it when I take her out on a “Date.” She’ll talk about it for weeks afterwards. And of course, my boys are pretty fun to hang out with too!
Goals for 2010: Part 5 – Take my wife out on more dates.
This obviously is a more personal goal, rather than a professional one and should be pretty self-explanatory.
Goals for 2010: Part 4 – Get involved in an OSS project.
For those who don’t know, OSS = Open Source Software. I need to find a good OSS project that I care about that I think I can make some kind of contribution to. I’m most likely looking for something security-focused. I also need to continue to improve my programming skills before I can get too [...]
Goals for 2010: Part 3 – Attend two Security cons and compete in their Hacking competitions.
One of the things I regret about living in Joplin, is that there isn’t a thriving IT community. There are plenty of IT people, as there are in any decent size town, but all attempts that I am aware of to form a community out of these people have failed. There is currently a group [...]
Goals for 2010: Part 2 – Setup a hack lab and improve pentesting skills
In case you haven’t already caught on, I’m working on fine-tuning my skills and planning for a future career in IT Security. One of the skills I need to continue to improve is penetration testing. For those laymen out there, you would probably use the term “hacking.” Of course, I intend only to use my [...]
Goals for 2010: Part 1 – Learn x86 Assembly
1. Learn x86 Assembly. For those who don’t know, this is a programming language. Assembly differs from other programming language because it is basically line for line the instructions sent directly to the systems processor. Most programming languages work on a higher level and are written in such a way as to be mostly human [...]
Happy 10th B-Day Y2K
I suppose we could call this Y2K10, but what would be the point? It’s not shorter than saying 2010. Anyway, the end of the year is often a time where we take some time for self reflection to look back and what has been accomplished the past year and then to look forward to the [...]
