A 2026 Update

It has been a long time since I have posted on this blog. I never did get into the swing of posting when I learned something new or had an idea. The concept of sharing this information does not come naturally to me. I need to get out of my head that I am posting for someone else to read and use it as almost a way to document my learning. I am a big believer in being a life long learner and even though I have not posted about it, I do continue to learn. They say you learn best by teaching others, so I am going to use this blog as a means to do that, even if no one ever really reads it or learns anything from it.

All of our jobs have changed since 2018 as technology has evolved and I am no different. I am not nearly as focused on virtualization as I was, but do spend more time on security than I ever have. I have also been looking into ways to automate things and Infrastructe as Code has really piqued my interest, so I am sure there will be some posts about that in the future.

Topics I am hoping to post about include Infrastructure as Code, including Ansible, and Terraform. Amazon AWS general information as I am no expert, at this time anyway, but I do all my personal work in AWS. Some Azure information as we use Azure for some small things at work, and I might be able to extrapolate my learning to those as well. I might post some musings on security topics as I see things or if there is anything technical that I do, I might try and replay that as well. In general, anytime I try something new, I want to document it.

Another benefit of this blog is that I have become obsessed with writing in Markdown. It seems like such an easy way to write documentation that can be presented in a easy to read format. Since the blog still uses Hugo it will be a good way for me to practice more in writing Markdown.

Well let’s hope it doesn’t take eight years until my next post.
