Another article published on LinkedIn. I have recently started looking at Arista switches and I wanted to create a lab so I can get familiar with the CLI. I followed an article and added a few of my own tweaks to get the lab setup successfully.
Quote of the Day
I found this Vince Lombardi quote recently from a co-worker of mine (thanks Aaron): “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” – Vince Lombardi
Framework 16
Customizable graphics? Enough said. Can’t wait for this to debut. Hopefully I can afford to get it.
Python Certified!
Wow, I can’t actually believe I passed the Python Institute Certified Entry-Level Python certification. I was originally planning to take it in May 2023 but I kept getting 50% on all of my practice tests (I also found that Python Institute has a really cool and free Python course). So, I ended up delaying the […]
Another C++ Course Done
I got another C++ course completed. This time it was an object-oriented introduction to C++ taught by Saldina Nurak. This one got more into encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance and polymorphism. I think the more I go on this journey, I’ve decided that aside from finding interesting content, I’m looking for good teachers. I think a lot […]

Don’t forget Playback Speed
Whenever I watch a training video or a YouTube video, depending on the narrator, I definitely use the playback speed. Whenever a speaker has been too slow for me, adjusting the playback speed to 1.2 is great. For a fast talker, slowing them down also helps a lot. This is a pretty good, simple hack […]
I finished my first C++ Course!
I can’t believe I actually finished a C++ course in my Cloud and Code Home Lab! I’ve been doing basic coding with C++ on and off for a long time but I had never completed anything substantial (I equate it to knowing my “ABCs” but never learning any English). I’m looking at a combination of […]
AWS Solutions Architect – Associate
