I have decided to join the #PublicSpeakingChallenge to overcome my fear of talking about what I most like in tech. I do believe this kind of project gonna help a lot!
It can sound really simple but I'll do it with all my might. I'd like to bring a brief introduction to what Linux is and what it isn't, what is Kernel, why the comparisons with Windows and Mac are strange and meaningless, the importance of open source, and how we end up using it daily without even being aware of it.

Congratulations on taking your first step! ✨
I believe the best thing for us anxious people is to just put ourselves out there. We will get stronger because of it πŸ™‚
You can do it! ✨

Haha, for real!

I think the clouds are beginning to part... 🌀

One thing I just completed is I finally got a loan to begin construction on my house. My dad and brother are our contractors and I'm siked for this ball to begin rolling. Hoping to be able to move in around December, so it's exciting times!

I successfully launched the ticket sales platform for a motorsport event, which will make driver registration a lot easier to wrangle going forward!

Then I forgot to buy my own ticket before they sold out... But it properly stopped me, so hey that's something! πŸ˜…

Funny story and win... I was supposed to speak in a conference and wanted people to check out my books while I was there. So I put 4 of my books on a table and stepped a bit a way to give them some space. I wasn't looking for a minute and someone took one of my books.

Anyway I get up on stage. 600+ people, pretty nice. And while I mentioned my books I said that three of them are being passed around the crowd. It would have been four but someone had "sticky fingers" earlier... I end my talk (which went well) and I get back 4 books. One of my friends gives me the forth book. Apparently someone gave it to him. A cousin of that friend was in the audience and was sure he's the one who stole it which made the whole story even funnier.

I hadn't been in a conference for a while and this was so much fun.
