First of many

So I don't think that I have a theme or a structure created in my mind for this yet but, I did want to start it. I have quite a few ideas in my head as of lately that I've wanted to get off the ground. I figured if I started with a simple blog to help others along my journey, then I would be forced into actually doing the journey. I'm not saying I would have been unmotivated otherwise, but no one says a little extra motivation won't hurt. A wise, yet VERY smartass teacher of mine from college said that, if you are getting into networking (and more), you need to try writing a blog to hold yourself accountable. So that is exactly what I chose to do tonight. I don't think I'm going post details on the lofty goals I have in mind in the near future but, I will give a hint of what's to come. I want to do walkthrough or few for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS issues that I've experienced over my transition to it within the last few years. I figured that, hey, if I'm experiencing these issues... Someone else has to be as well! And therefore, they need to have them answered in layman's term (which I happen to be very fluent in). So besides those, I want to try to document my current learning endeavors. My job is one that literally pays me to learn for the next year. So maybe, if I can, I'll share some of the knowledge and items I learn from that to help someone along the way who might not be as fortunate as I was to get a job that pays you to learn for 18 months before sending you in with the big dogs. While getting paid to learn from my company though, I think I want to continue to get better at things that interest me. So I'm currently learning how to write some shell/bash scripts for a variety of reasons. There will be more that I am sure I will dip my toe into as we move forward with this but, this seems like a pretty good start. I'm going to go take some notes on shell scripts and hopefully update this tomorrow. This might not be an "every night post" kind of blog but, I hope to keep it regular.
