I have always avoided learning how to code. I've dabbled in HTML in the pre-css days (yes I'm old) and I used to type basic programs from a magazine into my ZX81 back in the day but somehow without actually learning anything in the process.
So this needs to change but I'm not sure where to start. Day job is in networks, so what do folk recommend... python? And what's a good route to start for an absolute beginner?

After fighting with CPsec and one particular model of Aruba AP (203H) here's something important I learned. https://wifizoo.org/2018/09/04/aruba-control-plane-security-and-the-ap-203h/
Currently listening to Whole Of The Moon by The Waterboys. I once sat next to the bassist from The Waterboys at a supper club. That's about as interesting as my 'celebrity' stories get.
Always a relief to discover my eyes are in good health....
After a morning of wrestling with certificate issues twixt AP and mobility controller (of course I need to enable that undocumented function for this one model of AP to actually work) that coffee was good.... now I really must get up and return to campus.

History time…
When I was taught system administration there was one and only one keyword: "stability".
Except for the "development" machine, where they were tinkering with Unix Version 7 source code, nobody was to perform actions on the system without understanding the impact they might have and without checking the log book.
I remember the time it took to modify the sendmail.cf file: there was a printed copy of the "live" version and the Sendmail guru would ponder how to add a rule for…
Holding on to it not being winter yet. Quick dash into town for these delights.

y'all, please send virtual hugs to the Brazilian people tonight, who lost their entire national museum in a catastrophic fire. thousands of artifacts that date back thousands of years were lost, as well invaluable artworks from many cultures. this is a terrible loss for humanity.
as an anthropologist, artist and a lover of brazilian culture, and as someone who studied tupi, this loss is staggering and tremendous.

Today I’ll mostly be testing the behaviour of Aruba 7240 mobility controllers when enabling control plane security for our production system. Happy Monday whatever you’re doing.
