Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Lately I fancied a change in my career so decided to go back into education to learn and harness new skills. My first year back in education I was able to pick all my own modules and study from home which is how I earned my Microsoft Trainee Associates Certifications. During my year I learned Python, C#, HTML with CSS and Javascript, Databases, Window Server admin and Security. I also build projects in the mentioned languages. I enjoyed my learning on my own and coding but felt like I was burning myself out due to taking on so quickly but was grateful the National Learning Network let me enrol in a Network planning course which is giving me a chance to earn the new ITS certificates.
Thanks to having great classmates and tutors my programming skills are continuing to improve and my tutor would be proud that I'm trying to keep to the proper code conventions. Thanks to the course I'm doing work placement with Circet in Letterkenny being trained as a network planner which involves planning out the network infrastructure. In my personal time I have built my own desktop computer, still working on my own projects and now I am designing my own NAS system as I noticed it costs €375 to buy a NAS with no hard drives installed so I am trying to build one for less than it would otherwise cost. Also my NAS system will be more powerful and be less limited in terms of software as I will pretty much be able to run whatever I want on it.
I've two daughters. Had my first job at 12 as a labourer. I collected whelks, loved the peace and quite so sometimes worked for 10 hours a day if the tide would allow it. After the day was over I carried my bag of whelks home and waited till I had enough and then sold them to french fisheries through connections. During my time as a labourer I also worked as a painter, doing interior insulation and also some landscaping.
At a young age I was curious about how devices worked so I tinkered with anything I could find and became a self taught repair technician. I've also had an urge to make my devices run better so modified android phones software for best performance while still being able to use Google Pay now known as “Wallet”. Also learned to use linux because windows has become a bloated mess these days. However I still have a strong knowledge of windows.
My other hobbies include games, game modding, creative writing, photography, sightseeing, hiking, road trips, playing and listening to music, drawing, watching TV shows and movies or just chilling out with my children.
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. Now is better than never. Although never is often better than *right* now. If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea. Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
