STYMIED!

I'm ashamed. I mean truly. I tried to use my four hours on Friday in a useful way I feel like I just got rebuffed in every way that I tried. I first tried to do the 2024 Holiday Hack Challenge which really was too easy at first (I knew that wouldn't last), but it quickly became something I'm could figure out.


The ELF MINDER 9000 game is an timed obstacle course in which an elf runs around a desert. I talked to my boss and he said I should try to hack it. SO, I got into the dev tools to try to figure it out and found I could find the right source code. I worked at this for about an hour before I decided I needed to give it a break. I then decided to go to the Cisco Aspire Networking Game to try to get some practical applications with networking. It is not user intuitive (as in no directions). So learning how get into the networking setting after buying computers in the game is no fun.


After spending an hour trying this my computer crashed. I decided that I just needed to fix my computer. That found that there were corrupted files after I accidently pulled my processor while trying to maintenance my processor cooler. While trying to decide if I am going to reinstall or just throw it out the window I decided to do a mem test instead. Surprisingly that fixed my computer. With all that happening I just decided to finish work with a little work so I worked on a standard for the company.


So good news, I fixed my computer. No worries, I'm changing my hardware soon and will reinstall then.
