Today’s learning journey expanded my knowledge about VirtualBox, WireGuard, Linux, and various other topics. VirtualBox is a tool for creating and managing virtual machines.
What I did today!
Today we finished up orientation for CTT. We got our wireguard connected and remote connectivity established to the CTT host machines. It was really nice to get some technical information flowing and see the beginning of the Inception project. I am really looking forward to learning more about Linux in the coming days!
What I Did Today
Today’s lesson plan focused on setting home tabs. Additionally, we covered Google Sheets and initiated our event project.

What I learned today
In my exploration of Chrome extensions, today I dived into a variety of tools that enhance browsing experiences. I learned about several different Chrome extensions. uBlock Origin was one of the Chrome extensions that prohibited several websites from working properly. I learned how to turn off uBlock Origin for specific websites to respond properly.

Today was a whirlwind of new beginnings and insights. I kicked off the day by setting up accounts on Homebase, Chat GPT, WordPress, and Slack, laying the groundwork for exciting ventures ahead. Later, I delved into an orientation session for CTT, soaking in valuable knowledge and connections. Joining my first afternoon training was invigorating – stepping into the unknown with enthusiasm. Amidst the buzz, a valuable lesson emerged: the power and peril of uBlock Origin, as it occasionally disrupts website functionality.

What I did Today!
Today was orientation to CTP’s core training CTT. We got our Chrome browser set up for class with the needed accounts and bookmarks. We also had a quick overview of what is coming up in the next month. I was excited for this class and already had most of the setup complete before today started but I did use the class time to move my passwords from Chrome’s built in storage to LastPass. Mikayla was having an issue with HomeBase timeclock not working and I was able to help determine that uBlock Origin was incorrectly blocking the timeclock popup from appearing.
I am really looking forward to getting into more technical projects moving forward!
