Was going to do a bit of cleanup today when I tripped over an old project I started a while back. "That's it. This weekend. I'm going to finish this."
I had purchased an old Neogeo MVS arcade board that I was going to consolize. I was going strong for a while fixing up the board, re-routing broken traces, replacing bad RAM chips, broken LEDs, etc... Finally got the wood cut out and lost steam. Got back around to building and sanding, lost steam again. But now? Everythings almost done. Got it painted, electronics in place, gonna finish tomorrow.
It's going to feel good having one more thing done and out of the way, plus I'll have a sweet arcade machine.
Still need get a move on with getting my life situation under control. Need to focus on getting a job as a conputer repair technician. Heard they offer paid training for the compTIA certification! Sounds like the perfect foot-in-the-door for the IT world; just gotta solve this life motivation issue.
Anyone reading this that works in the IT field? How'd you get started? Should I try to go to school or try to work my way into it?
I'm only a couple days into this community, but it feels nice. I have always had trouble feeling at home joining public forums or social media/microblogs. Hope I can call this a long-term home!
