I really should be more faithful to this blog, instead I seem to be sporadic at best. No excuses, I will commit to be more regular in the future. The motivation for this blog are changes, a new job and a new academic beginning. On Monday I will start my new job as Senior Systems Specialist with ENGlobal tasked with programming and commissioning pump station controls for the Caspian Pipeline Consortium project in Russia and Kazakhstan. The assignment should prove both challenging and interesting requiring trips to that part of the world, I will keep you posted.
The other change is my acceptance into the Sam Houston State University Graduate School. I will be pursuing a master degree in Information Assurance and Security.
From the University website the description for the degree is:
"The Master of Science in Information Assurance and Security degree
prepares students for professional careers in commercial, industrial
and governmental information assurance. Graduates of the program will
utilize knowledge and methods to insure the protection of corporate
information resources. Graduates will be able to effectively harden and
secure network systems, prevent network damage, perform risk
assessment and plan for disaster recovery. This degree is accessible to
students who have completed undergraduate Computer Science or
Management Information Systems majors or minors and to those with
baccalaureate degrees in related technical fields and appropriate
professional experience. "
