Outside of my day job doing cluster support, I'm working on ClusterLabs[1] projects in my bit of free time, which is an overlap between work and hobby.
I'm mostly focused on school these days, however. I'm working on a CS degree at PSU, with intent to focus on AI/ML if I find that I enjoy that material (haven't had time to delve into it yet). I'm hoping to enter OHSU's bioinformatics/computational biology program from there. I've also been getting involved in the PSU's CTF club. I love how this gamifies learning about security. I've always wanted to learn more about security and exploits but it never aligned with the rest of my priorities. Those Paul McWhorter videos look like a really cool intro to AI and tinkering. I'll add that to my list of things to explore :) [1] https://clusterlabs.org/ Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Friday, December 4, 2020 9:57 PM, Ken Stephens <[email protected]> wrote: > Enjoyed the meeting last night.
