    [fvplayer id=”1″] Just a short little video milestone of Elliott finding her voice, which sounds raspier than usual since I think she may have overdone it yesterday, making this “ah ah ah” noise for 14 hours.

    This post reviews yesterday, Wednesday August 19th 2020. Should I change the title to yesterday’s date or keep today’s date?

  • Advanced OS – Study Notes Reflection (from day 1)

    I divided studying into two sessions: one in the morning (around 04:30 am) and one in the evening after work and after my daughter has gone to bed.  In the morning, I completed the administrative tasks and watched lectures that cover new material and in the evening I refreshed my memory by taking the operating…

  • Advanced operating systems – Pre-assessment (81% prepared for the course)

    As mentioned in my first post this morning, today marks the first day of Fall 2020 and I’m taking advanced operating systems (AOS), a systems class I’ve had a burning desire to take close to two years ago. The first assignment assigned in course is a pre-assessment, consisting of 22 yes/no answers, designed to to…
