This is the page where I announce, "What I'm doing now?". Will be irregularly updated as I see fit.

What I've been doing?
- Going through Jeremy's CCNA course available freely on YouTube. Great stuff. Looking to get my CCNA certification in the coming months.
- Got my hands on HackTheBox Academy. Personally, I feel their course is structured a lot better than TryHackMe's. I wish I am still a student so I can subscribe to their student's plan.
- Finished a course on Cybersecurity fundamentals that's for free and got the certification. It is sponsored by the government and is basically useless(because it teaches really just the fundamentals). The only reason I enrolled was because allowance will be given to students that passes the final exam. I'm yet to receive the money though...
- Trying to keep a blog again, this time using Scribbles. I don't have a habit to keep writing blog posts since I feel my life is boring 90% of the time. Will try to write in shorter form perhaps.
- Got myself a nifty new domain that says my name - karsten.ws. Previously it was unavailable for purchase on Porkbun due to .ws not being supported. But now that they do, I can finally get a shorter, more memorable and more personal domain for my internet home.
- Finally passed my driver's license exam! I failed the first time, because I wasn't well prepared. The second time went a bit smoother. I was very nervous I wouldn't pass it because I made a few mistakes. Applied for the probation license yesterday and I will soon get it.
