Quick Update

Just wanted to post a quick update since it has been quite a while since I've posted anything.  The family finally made it through a hectic schedule the past few months and I will be working a more normal 9-5 schedule now.  Hopefully I will be able to put some decent blog posts together soon.

I had blogged about possibly starting school at Western Governor's University but I have decided not to go that route.  I came across the Information Assurance program at Dakota State and after checking out its offerings and classes I really like what I saw.  I have been accepted to start the Information Assurance - Ethical Hacking Graduate Certificate this Fall.  I'm really excited because it is in line with what I want to learn.  If everything goes well with the Graduate Certificate then I plan to continue on with the Masters of Science in Information Assurance and Computer Security (MSIA) degree.  It will be a long road but I think it will be well worth it.

My reading lately has been mostly around scripting.  I'm in the middle of reading Learn Windows Powershell 3 in a Month of Lunches and recently just finished Think Python.  I intend to dig deeper into both of these scripting languages, both are extremely powerful.

Hope everyone has a great summer.....
