New Project
I have set up a new project that is an n8n Ollama project. This is using a Hostinger VPS with the n8n image, Docker, and the Qwen3 model using the qwen3:0.6b engine. I am wanting to do a project that is an AI project using Ollama to do a news aggregator workflow and posting it on Discord using a webhook.
There are some things that I have learned regarding this project including using Docker and Ollama in addition to n8n. I have posted it to GitHub where it is the dejongaaron/n8n-ollama-project. Some of the things that I still need to do are the AI prompt in addition to troubleshooting my workflow. I am learning quite a bit of n8n information as well.
Training Update
Working on the training materials for the Certified in Cybersecurity and the MD-102 exams. As part of my study plan for the Certified in Cybersecurity exam, I am reading two Microsoft books. These are for the SC-200 and SC-300 exams and will be next after I read my All-in-One Certified in Cybersecurity Exam Guide that is the 30th book I’ve read this year.
Streaks on Udemy and TryHackMe
On Udemy, I am at a 179-week streak and on an 82-day streak on TryHackMe. I am 37% done with the SOC Level 2 learning path which I am working on. I am currently ranked 692 in the U.S. All time and ranked 5,477 among All countries All time. On TryHackMe, I am also at 37,422 points, 298 rooms completed and have 42 badges.
Update
I decided to not put up my bulletin board that was going to be a vision board. I wanted to do a vision board that would help me chart my dream job. The CIO role is my dream job, and I want to focus more on studying and putting in more certifications until I am ready to get a job. At this stage of my career, I am focusing more on developing deep technical knowledge skills.
Conclusion
These updates are helping me vary my content on this blog. I want to accomplish both the Certified in Cybersecurity and the MD-102 certifications in the next few months. I am thinking about doing the Certified in Cybersecurity exam around November 20th.
Developing my stress and anxiety management skills to better cope with my anxiety. This is along with some more mental health, nutrition, and some additional skills like Prompt Engineering to expand my knowledge base.
