Currently working on my certificate for the Google IT Automation with Python. Just finished the first course "Python Crash Course". Continuing the next course which is "Using Python to Interact with the Operating System". Wish me Luck!

I was genuinely tired of paying a company to store all my documents and pictures. I had to rely on someone else and pay a subscription that would be endless if I didn’t take action. After some research, I stumbled upon the Synology 2-Bay DiskStation DS224+. While setting up the backups for my gaming PC was a bit challenging, it was a breeze for my MacBook Pro and my wife’s MacBook Air. I use TimeMachine for backups, which is fantastic. It’s installed on both laptops, allowing us to easily revert to a specific state or simply retrieve a specific file without resetting the laptop. Since I acquired the Synology NAS, I’ve transferred all my documents and pictures over. I love having it in my own network and server. It feels secure and intuitive.

I’ve been wanting to build a server rack for a while now since I started doing tech as a hobby. However, I don’t have enough space for a typical 19-inch rack. Then, I stumbled upon a YouTube video by Jeff, where he showcased a small 10-inch mini rack form DeskPi. It was the perfect size for my limited space. I already had a Ubiquity Gateway Ultra. To complete my setup, I purchased a U6 Plus access point and a 16-port Lite switch, both from Ubiquity. I also already had a Raspberry Pi 4 and a ThinkCentre mini PC. With all these components, along with some shelving for the 10-inch mini rack and 3D-printed rack mounts for some devices, my setup is now complete.

This build holds a special place in my heart. It was designed for my six-year-old daughter, who was using my old gaming laptop to play her favorite game, Roblox. Seeing me on my PC, she desperately wanted her own. Although she’s only six, I believe she would have a significant advantage in learning about computers at such a young age.

We decided to surprise her with a Christmas gift—all the parts for her own computer. Santa delivered the gift on Christmas Day. As she eagerly opened each Christmas gift, she couldn’t contain her excitement when she realized they were all PC parts. She wanted her computer ready as soon as possible.

I eagerly got to work assembling it. However, I made a mistake on the back fan. I had ordered the wrong size, and since it came as a pack, I couldn’t return it. Determined to rectify the situation, I took the opportunity to order the correct size and swapped out the factory fan with a pink RGB fan.

Here are the featured parts for this build:

- I already had an extra graphics card and an SSD NVMe for storage.
-CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
-CPU Cooler: Vetroo V360 360mm AIO CPU Cooler – Pink
-Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI (AM5, DDR5)
-RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz – White
-PC Case: NZXT H6 Flow – White Mid-Tower Case
-Storage: Samsung 980 PRO SSD 1TB NVMe
-Power Supply: Corsair RM850 850W 80+ Gold PSU – White
-Graphics Card: ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 3070TI OC Edition

My aunt wanted to buy a computer for her son, my cousin. She asked if I was willing to build it, and I enthusiastically agreed! I was thrilled about the prospect of building another computer. For me, it’s more about the adventure than the final result. So, I began researching this second build for my cousin, and she provided me with a budget to work with. Here’s what I came up with for this second PC, and it turned out quite satisfactory.
-CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with Wraith Stealth Cooler
-Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 DS3H ATX version
-RAM: T-Force Delta RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 – Black
-PC Case: NZXT H510 Mid-Tower Case – White/Black
-Storage: WD Blue SN570 500GB NVMe SSD (M.2)
-Power Supply: EVGA 550 BP 80+ Bronze 550W PSU
-Graphics Card: XFX QICK210 RX 6500 XT 4GB GDDR6 GPU

I've done so much research before I placed the order for all the parts needed for my personal PC build. I really wanted a gaming computer but also just a computer in general. Especially if I get to build it for myself. This is what I ordered when I pulled the trigger on buying all the parts.
-CPU: Intel i7-12700K
-Motherboard: ASUs TUF Z690
-RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB series 16GB * 4 for a total of 64GB
-CPU Cooler: ASUS ROG Strix LC 360 RGB
-PC Case: Phanteks Eclipse P600S
-Storage: Samsung 980 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe
-Power Supply: ASUS ROG Thor 850w
-Graphics Card: MSI RTX 3080 Ti Gaming X Trio 12GB

The PC has been great since I built it in April of 2022. The only issue I've had so far is 2 of the 16 GB Ram sticks stopped working. But under warranty, they gave me new ones. Other than that, I haven't had an issue.

This incredible book is the gateway to my first coding language, Python. I can’t express my gratitude enough for its exceptional quality. It provides a comprehensive explanation of Python’s fundamental concepts, particularly for beginners in the coding world. The book guides you through the process of writing and understanding Python code, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to learn Python.

Whether you’re a complete novice or an experienced coder looking to explore a new language, this book is an excellent choice. It begins with the basics, delving into Python’s syntax and semantics. The pace is deliberate, focusing solely on the built-in functions and their applications. As you progress, you’ll encounter lists, tuples, dictionaries, functions, classes, inputs, and while/for loops (my personal favorite).

The second part of the book takes you beyond the basics, allowing you to apply your knowledge by creating an alien invasion game, visualizing data, and developing a web application using Django. I personally used the Django web application to create the very site you’re currently on.

If you’re considering purchasing this book, I strongly advise you to do so without hesitation. It’s an investment that will undoubtedly pay off in the long run.
