  • Azure Certification

    I’m trying to decide on what to do with my career for the next 15 years or so and I’m liking the idea of becoming an Azure administrator. It would be sort of poetic that my career started with Windows 95 certification and ends with Azure. To that end I’ve completed the Describe Cloud Computing…

  • Azure It Is…

    So me and my (not so) newly minted degree have been job hunting and not sure which direction to take. At PDS I learned Taleo which served me well to the tune of over 7 figures over 10 years. It was a wonderful ride and I was saddened to see it go, but it had…

  • Not a bad Monday

    So the little bits and pieces of python I’ve learned are paying off. Today I managed to create the first workable TCC export rendered from the custom dictionary. I’m using ElementTree and I’m not 100% sure what I’m doing but it’s reading and rendering the XML properly and that’s probably the best measure of success.…

  • So Close…

    I’m almost done with the rewrite of the project to include commentary. Then I just have to write it up, do a video, submit and wait…

  • And one more to go

    Scores finally caught up…

  • Last Class

    So yesterday I completed my Udacity Data Analyst Nanodegree, they were nice enough to give me a link to the certificate. I’ve submitted my scores and unfortunately I was denied a clean countdown because there’s no integration between Udacity and WGU, so here’s what my degree program looks like now:

  • Finishing School

    I’m at the cusp of being finished with my degree, I’m working on an unsupervised machine learning class, and when I finish that there is only the 4 credit capstone project to knock out. With any luck, I’m finished by September.

  • Statistics

    I don’t ever want to play the part Of a statistic on a government chart The Police -1981 Tough luck, you are a statistic on a government chart, just hope you’re in the upper part of it. I’m taking a statistics class and my eyes are crossing. If your selling point to get people to…
