Week 1 – Getting back into the swing

I have to say, it hasn’t been as easy as I thought it was going to be. To be behind a keyboard “most” of the day, learning. Part of the challenge is a new Australian Shepherd puppy that has to go out every couple hours and needs to be entertained and trained. Plus, I have to get a workout in at least every other day!

All the action is happening on a used MSI GT70 2PC Dominator that I picked up for $300. I got some Klipsch Reference bookshelf speakers to entertain me and try to keep me focused on something other than the bad music quality coming from my flat screen TV positioned behind my laptop screen.

I have begun working through P1xt’s course plan posted on GitHub, also listed on my site. In the beginning, I have started with Tier 0 – Programming Prep. I am working on The Learn Enough Society’s tutorials. Thus far I have completed Learn Enough Command Line to Be Dangerous and am working through the Text Editor tutorial. So far, so good.

Here’s a couple funny excerpts:

Here is a great playlist of music that I have been listening to, helping me stay focused. Many of these songs come from Todd Vendituoli’s YouTube videos.

Todd Vendituoli, also known as Talv58 will soon be roasting some of the best coffee beans, in some of the best ways possible, at his soon to be, new coffee shop in Virginia. I am a bit of a coffee snob, so I will be watching this mans future and supporting him. He has vlogged all of his research in different ways of creating a great cup of coffee, here is his YouTube Channel. Check him out!

Hopefully blogging will help with my grammatical issues 😉
