In love with Golang

I’ve always been the type of person who enjoys a good challenge—whether it’s figuring out a new skill or diving into something I have no idea about. Recently, my latest obsession has been cloud-native programming. I got involved in a project that’s all about acquiring cloud-native applications for telecoms, and it felt like the perfect excuse to push my limits.

Now, let’s be clear—I don’t code every day. I don’t even get the chance to write code as often as I’d like. And when I do, it takes me a minute to remember how things work. 

Here’s the thing—I know I’ll never be a “proper” programmer and I’m not trying to be. But that doesn’t stop me from pushing myself. My goal is simple: keep learning, keep getting better, and see how far I can take it.

One thing I’ve discovered along the way is how much I love Golang. I’ve dabbled in Python, but Golang just clicks for me. It’s that sweet spot where things make sense and don’t feel as clunky. It even helped me have some solid technical conversations with potential suppliers for my project—which, for me, was a big win.
So while I may not code every day or have everything down perfectly, I’m excited about where this journey is taking me. Learning cloud-native programming has been an adventure, and I’m here for it—one chapter at a time.

IOS on Unix (IOU)

source http://evilrouters.net/2011/01/18/cisco-iou-faq/ What is IOU? From the Cisco Engineering Education web site (a long time ago): IOS on Unix (IOU) is a fully working version of IOS that runs as a user mode UNIX (Solaris) process. IOU is built as a native Solaris image and run just like any other program. IOU supports all platform independent protocols and features. What operating systems does IOU run on? It is my understanding that, initially, IOU was Solaris (SPARC) only. Nowadays, however, there are also builds for OS X and Linux. Similar to dynamips, IOU allows you to build out a network topology on a computer, without the need for physical routers. This is useful for validating designs, proof-of-concept testing, and certification self-study. Is my system compatible with IOU? You will need to be running the operating system that your IOU image were built for, obviously. Other than that, there are no special requirements to run IOU. It is not very CPU- or memory-intensive, unlik...

Impressed with Poly brand for conference headphones

I previously used my Sony XM4 headphones for calls and initially found them versatile for multiple purposes. However, as my meetings extended to several hours, I noticed they became less comfortable. To address this, I upgraded to wireless headphones from Poly, which offer significantly improved comfort. While I don’t plan to use them for music listening, my initial impression is very positive.
