This site is very new, so please check back often for new content. Iāve added a āWhatās Newā segment to this page so you can see right away if anything has been added recently. I will keep it to three entries, but a complete list can be found in Journal
Welcome, this is the start of my journey into publishing online, I heard it called a few different things but I like āworking with the garage door openā or āpublic digital gardenā
I was introduced to this concept and liked opening up my ideas and notes to the public. The goal is to document projects Iām working on and publicly share my study notes for various courses and certifications Iāve done and am taking.
Some of my notes will be unfinished, this is to be expected, the creator of this repo has the opinion that if what you post doesnāt have to be perfect or finished then you become much more relaxed about what makes it to your site. So donāt be surprised if in the future you find unfinished pages, they are simply a work in progress, an un-weeded or un-planted part of my digital garden.
By sharing my Projects I hope to foster easier collaboration and inspire others to try new things.
By sharing my notes I hope to provide a knowledge base myself and others can refer to. I aim to bring a lot of different topics of interest together into one place, hopefully, relevant to one another when viewed as a whole.
Central Hub
The central hub should let you and me navigate to information quickly while encouraging exploration. It contains links to the rest of the site. On a desktop browser this may feel redundant, since the navigation tree is visible on the left, but that feature isnāt available on mobile devices.

Site Updates & Housekeeping
Iāve been doing some tidying up around the site lately and wanted to share a quick update on whatās new.
- Improved Readability: I went back to 1.1 The OSI Model and added proper headings. Itās much easier to follow now instead of being one long wall of text.
- Better Mobile Navigation: Since the site can feel a little cramped on smaller screens, I added some extra links to make it easier to move around when browsing on mobile.
- New Page ā Inspiration & Quotes: Iāve carved out a space dedicated to motivation, ideas, and quotes worth holding onto.
- Linux Section: Thereās now a dedicated Linux area for general notes and learnings. This is separate from the CompTIA material so I can keep things better organised.
Nothing too flashy, just some behind-the-scenes improvements to make the site cleaner and more useful as it grows

Iāve started working through a Python tutorial video and decided to write my notes online as I go. My knowledge of Python is pretty basic, Iāve done a bit of coding with it before but I really wanted to start from scratch and build a stronger foundation.
So far, Iāve covered:
- Why Python matters and what makes it such a popular programming language.
- How Python is installed and set up on a system.
- An introduction to the interpreter and how it processes code.
- Exploring different code editors and choosing the right one for learning.
- Writing my first simple Python program.
It feels good to slow down and really understand the fundamentals this time. Iām excited to keep building on these basics and see how far I can take this learning journey.
Iāve also found a couple of errors on the site, so Iāll be going back to comb over what Iāve already done. That means fixing backlinks, tidying up index pages, and fleshing out the skill tree page a bit more. It feels like part of the same learning process, improving not just my coding, but also the way I organize and present what Iām working on.

Made a start on a Level Up section to the site, a road map of where Iām heading and an attempt at time blocking. The idea is to treat it as both a progress tracker and a bit of accountability for myself. Writing things down makes them feel more real, less like abstract goals floating in my head.
Time blocking is still new to me, so Iām approaching it more as an experiment than a strict system. The goal isnāt to fill every minute but to give my days some structure so I can see where the time goes and hopefully direct more of it toward the things that matter.
Iāve also started experimenting with Mermaid charts in Obsidian to map things visually. Theyāre really handy for sketching out timelines and workflows, but Iām not 100% sure yet how well theyāll render once pushed to the web. Hopefully they translate cleanly, because they could add a nice visual layer to the Level Up roadmap.
This section of the site will probably evolve over time. Right now, itās a starting point, a rough sketch of what I want to accomplish and how I plan to get there. Iām curious to see how it changes as I learn what works and what doesnāt.
The Level Up page feels like a small step, but itās an important one. Itās not just about productivityāitās about documenting the process of growth, experimenting with tools and systems, and learning from the journey along the way.
