Music educator who has completed his transition into IT. I want to know all t3h thingz. Alas, one lifetime isn't long enough to learn everything, so I'll settle for what can be shoved into my brain during this life time.
I plan on mainly posting content on Saturdays or Sundays, but for the opening week, I made a few things.

I've never had much use for Cortana, other than practicing my disable-and-remove-useless-programs skill.
I finally got around to getting a little WordPress site going in my lab, and I've decided to make it the new home of www.eddiejennings.net. Enjoy!
Over time I'll try to find good ways of making some content from previous iterations of my blog (and podcast) available.
Sometimes for malware, you have to nuke and start over.

@EddieJennings has put in so much work learning and teaching Linux administration. It's awesome to see him moving up to a Fortune 100 Linux Admin! Congrats Eddie!
Thank you Scott! I haven’t been this excited about a job opportunity since I was able to land my first position from the career change. 
It cannot be stated enough how important community is. Since joining ML in 2016, all of you have effectively been my IT mentors.

I might have read the tone of your post wrong, but I feel compelled to share my philosophy on certs.
"Chase the skill, not the cert."
Take some time and effort to think through some goals ("Cybersec world" is quite large). Afterward, think through the skills you need achieve the goals. Lastly, determine how to develop the skills. That step is what leads you to find a cert that can provide a curriculum for learning what's necessary to develop the skills.
For example.
So now I have made up my mind to pursue both CISSP and CCSP. I read that CCSP is a nice compliment to CISSP even though most of CCSP information overlaps with some of CISSP.
If you haven't done so already, be able to describe what specifically you hope to learn from going through those certs, and how it helps you achieve the $goal. If you can already describe this, great! If not, you might save yourself some time and money by taking a step back and thinking stuff through, which it sounds like you did with the Fortinet certs.
The quality and effectiveness of meetings varies greatly. For my environment, calls where we're brainstorming a problem or hashing out some details of how $the_thing should be approached tend to be the most effective. These meetings tend to be rare and usually result from trying to work on a problem over chat where it's determined voice and visual aids are going to be more effective for communication.
In my experience, majority of meetings are unfocused, which leads to everyone's time being wasted, or are meetings for announcements only without any need (or intention) for real-time collaboration -- the meeting that could've been an E-mail.
I've never dealt with Datapower, but I suspect there's a configuration file related to datapower-control that may need some editing.

@Obsolesce Looks like a spiral fracture. That's no joke. Try to stay ahead of the pain while you recover.
