I am working on some ideas which I think will be practical and useful to the community. But they need time... a lot of time. You know what else needs time? - PhD applications. Have to find a way to juggle between these two. How?

I had started learning Rust from the Rust by Example book. But I think it is something I should have picked up after going through the more beginner-friendly version first. So I will start all-over with the goal of understanding it better.

I have finally started what I always wanted to do. I wanted to create a brand of mine and use my skills in the process. Alongside working on Dezible, I am also reading tutorials and documentation to learn Rust!

The last 2 weeks were stressful. I realized how fast things can move. Things you think are always going to stay with you. Maybe they don't. And shoulder-pain didn't make it all better.

Last week I said I will be starting a newsletter but there is already a lot of companies and people who are doing that. So I need a way to market it differently. Earlier I was thinking about including a nice tutorial but I came across some CTFs and I really want to do participate and learn the art of doing challenges in such events. So maybe I can add writeups with the newsletter.

I will be creating a newsletter where the main focus will be cybersecurity news (of course). The catch is... there will also be a tutorial related to a skill/tool/technology. The aim is that the newletter is relevant to a broader category of people including both technical and non-technical audience.

I have always wanted to build something. Being a computer science student, I learned a lot about development practices but never got closer to finishing a project. Just like a lot of people I guess. I am deeply interested in owning something REAL along with being relevant in the cybersecurity space. I think it's time to make something finally.

I am back to square one as the the company which I had talked about last week, also decided to not go forward with the application. On to learning something useful. For real!

I have applied to about 8-10 jobs up until now. I was asked my salary expectation among other HR stuff by one company. It is highly relevant and I will like it most probably.

I applied to a couple other relevant jobs yesterday (and also wrote a motivation letter in the process)
