Things I've learnt this semmester

• Linux is not a scary place: in fact, when you get over a fear of using the command line, it's fantastically brilliant at getting it do what you want it to do

• Computers are very complicated: it's amazing how you'll use a computer everyday and not realize everything that goes on in the depths. Since starting my course, I've learn about machine code, assembly, registers... and trust me, it's computerception

• People (including myself) are stupid: we put so much content online and don't realize just how easily accessible that information it is. People should always be so conscious of where they put their details in... nearly everything is networked these days. 

• It's not all about specs: I used to think specs were everything, i7s... tons of RAM, but at the end of the day, it's really what you do with it. There's a way in which my beaglebone can provide me with more fun than my super-powerful gaming laptop ever could. Walking round with a tiny computer in my pocket is also pretty nifty too, huh! 

• So far, I know this is something I really want to go into. Something about securities and vulnerabilities excite me. I want to find news way to explore exploits and be able to create new ways of protecting people from that. It's a subject I wasn't so sure about, but at least I've reached the end of the semester and I want to continue with!
