1. Continue to lose weight - i've lost 10 pounds the past month, would like to lose 30 more.

2. Work through PentesterLab Pro - past couple times I would get halfway through the first badge and just stop. This time I am pairing it with Anki cards.

3. Continue getting 7-8 hours sleep, been doing this since I read 'Why We Sleep'

4. Learn Ruby/Rails build a handful of applications.

Learn to sell 9 years ago

I was in sales for 10+ years, now am a dev. Best sales book I ever read was New Sales Simplified. Really breaks down the sales process.

What a hack (the reporter) Social Security and Medicare are over 50% of the federal budget and only going to grow. It would seem prudent to look at structural changes there when discussing federal debt and deficits into the future.

So.....Trump is a genius? No one ever thought of doing this before?

I'm thinking she is over-reacting.

Ozymandias Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792 - 1822

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Better buy Webstorm now so I can get it as a perpetual license.

I can see October being a huge month where people buy perpetual copies of tools they were thinking about buying in the past.

That is the "warranty" section of the license. Most software contracts as a standard have the warranty section in all caps. Source - I sell a database and deal with software contracts on a weekly basis.

A.M. Train Ride - Creative Thinkering

- Just okay

P.M. Train Ride - Counter Hack Reloaded

- so far so good. a little dated but a good intro to security.

Audiobook - 48 Laws of Power

- I love the history lessons in it. Very engaging. You don't have to be power-hungry to read it.

Digital Book at work - The Art of Software Security Assessment

- Just started, I will let you know next month.

For writing, I am almost done with this book and it is great:

Writing That Works; How to Communicate Effectively In Business by Roman and Raphaelson

Stresses clarity and writing how you talk.

Started with Hacking, the Art of Exploitation. Finished, but realized I was in over my head. Taking CS50x through edx for C programming + a Udemy Assembly class. Ultimate goal is to make progress on https://microcorruption.com

I have a 9 month learning plan worked out with books, online courses, and other Hacking tutorials/projects.

Currently reading:

A Guide to the Good Life: Ancient Art of Stoic Joy - William B. Irvine

Algorithm Design Manual - Steven S Skiena

Blah Blah Blah: What To Do When Words Don't Work - Dan Roam

Highly recommend the first 2, Blah Blah Blah is a rehash with a twist on Back of the Napkin.

I am 32 and in Software Sales. I am busting my butt to get into the software industry through coursera, edx, udacity, books and side projects. I come here for learning resources that are often posted and to keep my ear to the ground on what is happening in the tech/start up space.

Morning train ride: The Personal MBA.

Evening train ride: Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures using Python.

Best read in a while: The Obstacle is the Way. Great intro to Stoicism, and only $4.00 on the kindle.
