What a beautiful weekend. So some updates:

- I cancelled the plan on starting up a PMC company. The outlook isn't going well because I realized, it's hard to get into the industry without a solid network of contacts as the industry is well guarded by trust, network, and strong vetting.

- Not even a chance to work as a PMC operator. The vast market of the industry is monopolized by the US and Europe and UK comes next. The remaining percentage is very small. Security clearance is needed, infantry and or special ops work is required. Europe and UK has similar requirements. I tried submitting my CVs around but it seems it only got one look and it went to the trash 😅

- I am on track on studying course 6-5, and course 8 of MIT via an equivalent MIT-OCW courses.

- Decided to continue my journey towards a second degree but with the tremendous breakthrough in AI and the upcoming Physical AI, the local BSEE has become much more obsolete and BSCpE or BS Computer Engineering has become more significant. I will get on a BSCpE program and is fully asynchronous and online, which is also ABET.

- A solution on cybersecurity and a revenue for a dual use defense tech company is in the works but sadly my initial business partner whom I tried to onboard isn't interested maybe because she isn't a technical person and didn't appreciate and see the success for this idea, hence I am still looking for a partner who is good in business.

- Going back to Software Engineering and got a series of interviews already hence been busy reviewing the backend tech stack and getting my knowledge and skills back in shape. Some gray areas I still need to work on particularly on containers, CI/CD, and cloud, cause I forgot most of the commands 😆

- Physical workout is still maintained with a bit more focus on martial arts empty hand but the long distance runs took a rest for a bit.

- Got some enemies from the profession of arms because I called them out for unethical actions and then I was put into surveillance. For quite sometime they know my movements and my internet activity. After installing VPN they suddenly became blind. Looks like either my router in my sister's house far away from me, or my ISP has been compromised but they are blind now after setting up VPN.
