Have given thought to going for LPI 1 system admin course
Interesting. I have been thinking about this a few years back. My then work mates suspected, that I'd just pass with flying colors, given what I do know. I'm no so sure, though. What made me not go to the tests is that they need to be refreshed. I'm not going to learn about Samba configuration. Never needed that. And an "embedded" flavour wasn't in sight.
I probably won't need the cert for the next 3 years or so, and after that I'm probably done with jobs.
Entwining here from two different posts.
Not really been much of anywhere. From memories garnered from others, been near everywhere.
As far as the web/internet goes, I started out on it around 1994 in earnest. When 13, back in the 1980s I did write a Basic program that used a modem, dialed to a then DARPA network, rebooted that network gracefully. Cannot remember one bloody line of it. *chuckles*
They had a consultant teaching us on Apple II E systems for the love of Mike. Really not much to do on those. I got bored, looked at various math, and gradually programming books. Brought stuff together. Shocked the old consultant, but he let me run the program after making a call. Did what the tin says.
Now, I don't find much use beside using par to format text at times, maybe pipe that into gvim/vim. Nope, not keen on Emacs anymore. Lisp started making me implode recursively. Oven in put head.
I'm sure you grep & grok those statements. Can assure, too, not anywhere near the point of giving up. Felt bleak for sure, working some out still, but now feeling a fair bit better.
I got another 12 - 15 before I can retire. I'm already tired, why do I want to go get tired again? ;) My wife bless her has told me I can do gravy train work for that time. She obviously sees how broke down I am. *smh* Wish she didn't. I'm Silly Man, invincible and impervious to pain, ha!
I used to work on farms, worked in poultry plants, worked at apple (the actual fruit) product place, helped build, plumb, wire structures. Done bits of carpentry, masonry, welding & metallurgy.
Remember when Jack of All Trades, Master of none, was complimentary? I do, still find it so. I wear a lot of hats without wearing any.
