Blog titles are hard...

Today started out with me reading through my CCNA notes for about an hour (I think). It's slowly coming back to me now. I'll need to start messing around with my Cisco switches and routers again to see where I'm really at, but I think I can figure it out. I'm just glad I don't have to make a living with the Cisco stuff right now, because I'd be in trouble otherwise. I also spent a few hours going through my Django for Beginners book. I started this a couple of days ago, and I'm working through the lessons all over again. The thing that makes this challenging is that Django has released a whole new version of itself since I bought the book a few years ago, and because of that I've run into some issues with the book's code not being up to date. I've been able to figure it out okay so far. Right now I'm building a Newspaper project, but I haven't got to the point where I build the newspaper itself yet. So far it's been about setting up the user login system, email authentication etc. I'll probably start on building the newspaper app itself on Thursday, provided nothing blows up in the meantime. I had to re-setup my account with SendGrid to get the email password reset features working, and that was a bit of an ordeal since they had deactivated my account from a few years ago. I had to setup a whole new account with a different email address, so I used my lenny@lennyshort.com email address to get things going. That was the first time I had logged into that mailbox in over a month, but it doesn't get any email really. I'm not looking forward to the day when the spammers discover my email address.
