Setting up the Project
I have been setting up a Joomla Server on Akamai (Linode). To get to a point where I can write about the Joomla Server Install, I will be completing the project. I have been working on it through the LISH Console in Linode. There are some changes that I will work on to get it to work as a functional Content Management System for my aaron597.com domain. In solving some of the challenges regarding this I have learned some things like doing wget and setting up an Apache Server on the Linode.
New Journey
I am working on a new journey as a sole proprietor of Aaron W. DeJong that I am doing as a Freelance Writing and IT Consulting firm based in Aurora, CO. I started it on April 30th and have gotten past the first week, I am looking forward to when Medium sends out the earnings that I have made for the week. I am putting some more blog posts on Medium and have quite a few up there. Still going for quality content instead of the quantity of articles.
Article
Worked on an article that I published on Medium which can be found at the following link:
https://medium.com/@dejongaaron/securing-your-network-using-vlans-154c8fca4151
The article is called Securing Your Network Using VLANs and it is an article that I want to share with you. If you want to get into some more of my writing, I am @dejongaaron on Medium.com. There are the articles I have done in addition to the aaronwdejong.net blog posts that I have on there.
New Blog
The Joomla Server is a way for me to do a Platform-as-a-Service Server through Linode and host the aaron597.com blog. I am still working on the blog setup but will work on more of Cisco and Microsoft Technologies that will help me with my Cisco Insider Champion and Microsoft MVP status for both. This new blog, aaron597.com, is my platform for these Cisco and Microsoft Technologies.
Conclusion
I am in a building phase of the new blog that will allow me to gain experience with setting up a Joomla Server and work on setting up the Apache2, PHP and MySQL prerequisites for this Joomla Server. I am writing an article about configuring the Joomla Server and will publish it to Medium, already at around 700 words. This might be the future of my new chapter in the journey. Expanding my horizons as far as the new Joomla Server goes.
There are some things that I have been doing for training, and I am on the 14th book for this year which is the Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals Exam Ref DP-900. Still working on some small parts of the SC-900 training and going through the Server+ training materials on CBT Nuggets. Some things that I am working on are the Ethical Hacking Learning Path on LinkedIn Learning. This is in addition to the Project+ and Linux Essentials training that I am doing.
