01/03/2025 An evening’s escapade in nerdiness and grooming

I haven’t made it to my daily word goal yet (and the other monitor is staring at me with my outlines), but I’ve made a little progress in other things!

Namely, my continued study in cybersecurity and getting rid of what my wife calls the “mountain-man beard”.

The certification exam is in February, and I’ve been struggling through the practice tests every day. I say ‘struggle’ because I’m taking my certifications out of order; I’ll be testing for A+ and C+ later in the year. The Security+ studying has already laid the foundations I’ll need for the other two, so at the least, they’ll be easier.

As for the mountain-man beard…

If I look like I’m scowling, it’s because I don’t have my glasses on.

It was definitely time to take it down. I can only tolerate so much grumpy wizard.

Now I’m less of a grumpy wizard with the same giant forehead!

Now, on to the writing!
