I've been programming for ~25 years and I still love programming. Last night I resurrected my old Xeon 8-cpu server and spent all night trying to install centos on it. Turns out my specific bios needed special settings to boot from USB. My goal is to learn vagrant and spin up vms to handle variable load tasks. I want to be able to process website data using Hadoop and store the various outputs to my database. It's not novel but it's all new to me and I'm excited.
