Going to start blogging more!

Despite the fact that my few initial attempts at blogging were total failures, I feel that I now have a responsibility to myself to begin anew.  The failure to write is my own doing; it was mostly due to my own lazy nature, but also because I felt no real reason to write my thoughts down.  I have always had a bad habit of keeping my thoughts to myself except in certain personal arenas such as talks with my family, with my fiance, or in the CS lab.  Having graduated and started my life in the "real world" I feel it will be important for me to express myself in a way that college used to let me do and I have little real time for recently.  I fully intend to use this space as my personal page and possibly write down some of the research and intellectual ventures I hope to work on.  If that becomes a more regular occurance, then I may make a blog dedicated specifically to my research.  I want to start independantly looking into digital security and computer forensics on a more driven scale and possibly start taking some graduate level criminal justice classes in the near future if I can afford it.  Until this starts up, I will just ramble like I used to.

On that note, working security is fun and boring at the same time.  By this I mean that it is nice to help people at the company I do security for and it is nice to be in a position that is actually related to what I went to school for.  The problem is, I thought the security position would be much more exciting than it has turned out to be.  It most likely is just the site where I am working, and I will not complain because it beats all my old jobs.  I just hope that in the meantime I can boost my resume a bit with some of my own efforts in learning and can work towards a more computer focused position in this company.  They mentioned that a bank needed a security officer with programming experience but then I got placed at a medical facility's front desk.  I don't want to push my luck however, because I know just how nice this job is and everyone that works above me treats me well... for a change.
