Fifa 98, Song2... why would you need to apologize?

@Foo2rama: nice site, the only thing I can think of as an improvement for now (except for the project part under construction that you already mentioned) would be the reload between the pages... Because of the network latency, it takes 3-4s to load each time, but I can see at least 1s is because of the DOM generation.
The site is simple (but who needs complex anyway?) so it would be worth replacing the page loads with JS + dynamic content served from a rest service when changing "page". For a "normal website feeling" despite the single page format, you could even track navigation by using # in the URL (#contact, #resume, etc.): you update it when the user is clicking on it, and by monitoring the location you can detect if he navigates backward and reupdate the page content accordingly 馃榾

Unrelated to the website itself but as you are looking for cybersecurity, did you try some hacking challenges you can find online? Not my domain but I know some are very good and reaching high-score in them can also help you promote your competencies (and learn new ways to penetrate and fix a system). A friend of mine found his dream job in a startup thanks to those 馃槈

edit: BTW loving the "alcohol problem but no drinking problem" 馃憤

The EA I knew gave me so many good memories. Good times , just getting back from school. Firing up the mighty 486 Intel with whopping 100Mhz rate and 16MB of RAM and on that massive 14" inch monitor that was as heavy as it was deep. Hearing that "EA sports , It's in the game" and waiting for the loading screen finish and the intro to fire up.


Good times.

P.s. Apologies for the tangent, nostalgia and all that.

Young'ens! Back in the day I knew of EA as Square, Circle, Triangle, and spent many the hour mapping dugeons by hand with graph paper playing this game:



On the Commodore 64, which had 0.0625Mb ram and a clock speed of 1MHz. We were cool enough to have an actual 10" Commodore monitor, rather than using a TV.

For those of this era I highly recommend the reissue of the Bard's Tale trilogy that just came out. Without the nostalgia probably most will find it less than enjoyable.

So I think the speed issue is your out of the USA, and the background movie is a link to the US youtube. As my target for the site is in the US, I think load times are fine.

Thanks for the thumbs up on the quote 馃槈

As for the "challenges" I am going through tryhackme.com and then I will do hackthebox.com.

Youtube uses GeoDNS so it always targets the regional youtube instance. But the rest is still affected by me being the other side of the Atlantic ocean for sure 馃槈

Foo has to be careful as potential employers may question his sanity for being a WIS. 馃槈

Good on ya for finishing the program. Now to get the CISSP.
Beware a certain Rockville, Maryland-based game developer advertising several security positions. The Director is my ex-Director and he's a snake.

I like the presentation you developed. Something to consider, maybe substitute your interest in scotch for watches on your resume. Anything alcohol could raise eyebrows for a potential employer even though you really only have an appreciation of quality scotch. Best not to have anything in a resume or an interview that potentially could be misunderstood.
