Network Engineer / SysAdmin / Helpdesk by day in Singapore.
I’m part of https://www.dwarvin.com that provide lighting solutions to model railways. Its a small family business and I help out with online side of things.
Recently was ask to help out with to build a programmable lighting system and am having tons of fun, brings me back to my embedded systems class during my CS degree time.
I did it with a 15-day railpass as a graduation trip with 4 friends. Wouldnt say that it was the best experience with very tight budget as broke college students but a very special experience for sure.
Especially when passing through Washington state national park. At that moment all of us agreed that the trip was worth it.
Not written in 2018 but these are some of the books I’ve read this year
The Bullet Journal Method - Ryder Caroll - A how to and the philosophy behind bullet journalling. Am doing a 1 year test to see if the system works for me.
Spark Joy - Marie Kondo - Book about living minimally, got this suggestion because the previous book mentioned it and was curious.
The Hacked World Order - Adam Segal - got interested in cybersecurity thanks to my internship, so picked up a book to read about it and am planning to study and get certification/qualification to get into the field. Will be working in IT/Network Engineering for 2-3 years while learning cybersecurity during free time.
