certification

Work, travels, and all around good things

For the past few months now I have found myself working! April and May had me traveling this route: Google Maps, 2010 Journey, of which I have many photos of that are waiting to be processed (all added of course to the few thousand I have not gotten around to yet).  In the first week of May though, I managed to capture this small panorama of the Peace River and Dunvegan:

Dunvegan, Alberta

I also managed to capture some photos of the forest fire in Opal, the sunset on Highway 63 near Fort McMurray, and  some wildlife in the Muskoseepi Park in Grande Prairie, as well as some others here and there.

After completing that short contract, it was barely a week before I was put into my new role. It seems to be a fairly quiet and comfortable environment, which will certainly be nice. So finances looking up, free time looking up, and motivation also being quite on the up lately, things are really splendid! Still studying for some certifications (CCNA getting put on the backburner for the sake of what they wish me to complete for this new position), and still working on photography and some leatherwork, as well as taking care of my lovies, and seemingly reading more and more comics as the days go by…

It’s also very likely that I am moving (well less of the likely sort and more of a question of when it will happen).  Hopefully that gets cleared up – yet it is all for the best too since I shall finally get to have my Marilyn around more often.

Some time now…

Well it has been some time since the last update, and while I did have desire to continue updating all I really had to talk about was my ever growing family.

As it is, I still have need to share my two newest additions, Sponges and Deca:

Sponges Decarabia

Sponges Decarabia

Sponges is an amel motley corn snake, a few years old, and about four feet long. I adopted him from a friend who was unable to make certain he was getting the proper care he needed. Decarabia is my little baby black stripe ball python, only a few months old, and about a foot long currently. Already in the past month she has seemingly plumped up a bit. Both are very cuddly and friendly, and fairly constricty with their cuddles too!

Also, in the past few months I have been doing some manner of studying. Been working towards getting a couple IT certs, including redoing my CCNA (and likely continuing on towards the CCNP) and a CISSP certification. As such I now have this sitting alongside my desk:

Some home networking

And then of course, last but not least – given that this is the season for Halloween – I have an outfit to show off. Made by Kathleen, it is Silhouette from the Minutemen:
