Welcome to my blog!


Here you will garner a VIP 
exclusive look into my thoughts and my life. Tread carefully! 🙂


Many years back I had a personal blog much like this one that was tied to my own custom domain via the WordPress blogging platform; however, life kept on going but the money train did not, and so I had to shut down my personal website and thus the blog. 
I was smart and fortunate enough to make a backup of my original blog, though. It’s been many years and since then I have not done any blogging but have yearned to get back into it.

And so I recently decided it was time to start my personal blog back up again! If I could and were able to import my WordPress blog here into Blogger, there would be a huge disconnect in time, information, life status, and so much more, so as it stands this will be a fresh, brand new blog but with the same purpose and elements as before: you’ll find posts that span a variety of topics, from personal happenings to techy news and information that I like — I summarize my blog and thus the title to My Life. My Story. My World. Make yourself at home, enjoy reading and please do comment!
If you’re interested in reading my original blog, you can read it here only. Please do not sell or redistribute the PDF file ever.

I.T Support and ACPCN Services

Indeed I have not posted in forever, but I must digress to the title topic.

As you may know, ACPCN Services is already 5 years old (6 coming up). Many name and service changes later, I am pressed with closing down the site…but I cannot. It means so much to me and has helped build me (just as Christians 4 Life did many years ago). Instead of retiring the whole site 100%, I finally came up with a 100% free solution: make an I.T. Support webpage on my site with nothing more than the intended purpose and details. Nothing additional thrown in.

The old site will be revived once again sometime in the unforeseen future. I know there are tax issues that held me back from growing from a hobby to a business, but then on top of that barrier, God impressed on my heart to turn it from a monetary focus to a ministry focus, so to speak, and that was the hardest of all. That’s the reason the site is temporarily dissolved. I usually rush into projects for web designing and because I can come up with 0 thoughts on what to do, I feel 100% that this is God saying something like “slow down and lets work this out how I want it.”. This way, when ACPCN Services comes back (maybe with a new name [again 😀 ]) it will be just as God intended.

By making the site temporarily move to my personal website, I am able to not worry about what the site is going to look like now or tomorrow. I can still focus on providing quality pc and networking support without the numerous webpages and still build a Godly site for I.T. ministry work!

 

To all clients, I still appreciate you for sticking with me so long and to new clients I pray you’ll let me offer top-quality I.T. support for you!

Life & Website changes

It’s good to post again! It’s been a very long time since my last post. Sorry for that.

Nevertheless, a LOT has happened and is happening (both good and bad). Overall, my passions and drive has come back and it is hovered around the computer networking field. I am strongly set on becoming Cisco certified and am slowly making my way through it on top of school and stuff.

Website wise, I’m gradually phasing out LUVR (Life Under Viper’s Rocks). The name had no negative meanings, don’t get me wrong. It’s simply the point that I came up with this somehow as a teenager and I’m an adult now. So, there come a time when you need an overhaul and now is the time! The new title (or “theme” as I’ll call it) is “My Life. My Story. My World.” This actually has been my tagline at LUVR since the beginning back in ’04, so the transition will be easy. Anywho, I feel peaceful that this is a more mature, more accurate name that will perfectly reflect ME!

Thanks for checking back! God Bless!!!

Certifications

Well, it’s another discussion about Cisco and CompTIA. Cisco is one of, if not the most, prestigious  computer networking companies in the world. Also, CompTIA is in its own way respectable (not necessarily prestigious) in that they basically set the benchmark for I.T. certifications. If you’ve followed one or both of my blogs you’ll know that I’ve tried my luck at pursuing a both companies’ certifications and am in the process at school in obtaining my CompTIA Net+ and A+ now. I was a student in the Cisco Networking Academy in my high school but never finished (which I could have had my CCNA!) 😦

Anyway, I got away from networking because of the math and overwhelming amounts of definitions, terms, and acronyms involved. However, it’s not all about that because the math is masked by the concepts, theory, and application of networking itself, and the terms/acronyms will actually fall in place if you substitute the acronym for the full word (such as DHCP, rather jus say Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Anyway, I’m again going to attempt at the Cisco certs after I finish Net+.

Cisco pyramid

With Cisco, preferably, I’d love to obtain a full track from Entry to Architect, as depicted in the revised Cisco pyramid below. I’m yet again going to pray and try to strive towards obtaining a Cisco certification…all the way to the top. Yes, VERY expensive and VERY long and hard work. BUT it is doable because people have passed it obviously. So, if it be in the Lord’s will for my life to obtain one, many, or all of their certifications, then I’ll pray and work hard at it and hope you’ll pray with me, too!

You can follow along with me on a webpage to notate which certifications I’ve completed and those I’m pursuing.

In Christ,


Andrew



Job Life

Well, I update my resume periodically to keep it fresh with the latest and greatest details. Bad part is, no employer’s are reading it. I’ve got my resume on all the large job posting websites like Monster, AtlantaJobZone, CareerBuilder, etc. So far all the hits I’ve gotten back are from retarded insurance companies that require heavy math…of which I easily deny the positions.

Any who, I’m consistently praying for God to reveal His will to me. It’s imperative that I stay as close as possible to His will so that I am obedient to what He has in store for my life. Especially since Danielle and I will be getting married next year, this is a super big reason I definitely need a better paying job. God will provide, though, so I’m hanging in there till the right moment comes around.

Keep my job situation in your prayers.
