I’ve been wrestling with a problem that keeps me up at night: How can I use powerful AI tools without handing over my most sensitive data to tech giants? The more I used ChatGPT, Claude, and other cloud AI services, the more uncomfortable I became. Every document I uploaded was being processed on someone else’s servers.

In this article, I share my experience with the AWS AI Practitioner certification – from the learning process to passing the exam. As an AWS Cloud Architect with multiple certifications, this step was a logical entry into the AI world for me, especially in economically challenging times for IT freelancers. Does this entry into AI also make sense for other IT professionals? How time-consuming is the preparation really? And is this certification worthwhile as a stand-alone goal or rather as an intermediate step towards more advanced AI qualifications?… Read the rest

Since a couple of years, I am already using the live-scripting approach in customer projects. I received a lot of positive feedback, especially for the well-structured and precise documentation in HTML format, that this technique produces. I have been using it in various situations, and it proved to be useful especially for the installation and configuration of Oracle products like Fusion Middleware, Oracle Service Bus and Forms and Reports.… Read the rest

DevonThink supports reusability.

“We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.” With this quote from John Naisbitt, Michael Malzahn begins his “DevonThink 3 Workbook.” The digital flood of data is crashing down on us from a variety of sources and inundating our end devices. We are faced with the seemingly insoluble task of making use of all these pieces of information.
With my Open Source Projekt “live-scripting”  I propagate the simultaneous creation of documentation while working on IT problems.… Read the rest

My Emacs based live-scripting approach can be used to explore AWS technology. I have demonstrated this with an example of a basic EC2 lab.
In this lab, I set up a simple EC2 instance with the command line interface. I use the EC2 “user data” to set up an Apache Web server, and I initialize the index page with meta-data of this instance.
The following diagram gives an overview of this lab.… Read the rest

Live-Scripting is a documentation centric working style for IT professionals that promotes reuse and sharing of proven solutions. In my previous video, I already demonstrated how to work on the command line and document it at the same time. In the video “Live-Scripting Introduction” I take a broader perspective and address the problem of the growing amount of knowledge that needs to be understood, digested, documented and shared. Companies often struggle with sharing of knowledge and solutions because documentation is a time-consuming and often unpleasant task.… Read the rest

In my new short video, I introduce the basic idea behind my live-scripting open source project which I host on GitHub. Live-Scripting is an approach that combines command line centric work, documentation, and sharing. This video clip demonstrates how smooth the process of command line work and documentation can be. Using the example of retrieving information from remote machines and creating a report, this clip introduces how easy this technique is and gives an idea, how powerful it can be.… Read the rest

In Emacs Org mode, you can create spreadsheets and also make calculations. The Spreadsheet tool is of course not as powerful as Excel, but it is enough for quick calculations. For example, you can use it to calculate the cost of a trip. In my Youtube channel, I published a short video demonstrating this feature. It compares two scenarios of a business trip regarding their costs.… Read the rest
