A CIO’s perspective on Cloud Computing

Posted on June 21, 2012 by Percy Kwong

Being a technical CIO / CTO / Consultant for a living, Cloud Computing has definitely come to the forefront of technology today. There are still many people who have tried out VMware player on their desktops or even VirtualBox / Parallels and assumed that this is cloud computing, thus writing it off due to the…

Which Linux Distribution to Choose?

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Percy Kwong

There are so many linux distributions out there and while they are all very similar, they are different in ways due to their target audiences. Some are targeted more towards the end-user like Ubuntu while others are clearly targeted towards the Enterprise. Ubuntu is a great distribution for a desktop replacement, but for me, I…

Well.. It turns out Kickstarter turned down my project for helping the unemployed.

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Percy Kwong

Interestingly enough, Kickstarter turned down my project, citing the reason, “Self-Help” violates their terms and conditions for projects.  I did, however get to  startsomegood.com and got the project approved. I just didn’t think the folks at Kickstarter would view a book about helping people cope with unemployment in the current economy would be a bad…

The Perfect Home Office.

Posted on June 19, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’ve struggled with that question in the past. I can say truthfully that having both was a royal pain in the butt.   Keeping data synced wasn’t fun, nor was the electricity bill.  Me being me always had the solution so it was never a big deal to just vpn into my home network to get…

I guess this is a call out for help

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’m at the point where I can’t support this blog due to the traffic I’m getting.  I really need some donations or something.  I’m pushing about 5 GB of data a day and due to my divorce, I can’t afford to support this continually. I’m not asking for donations, although, they would help, but I…

I need 25 fans to get set a username on my facebook fan page.

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Percy Kwong

Any chance some of my readership could go to this link and be my fan for this page so I can set a vanity username? It seems like a completely ridiculous environment to have people go to a completely arcane url to get fans before they can have a normal one. That’s genius at work…

Privacy on your Smartphone a solution for all

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’ve recently written an article on smartphones only to think about a few things.  One of the things I thought about was the fact that nobody has created a VPN service that is truly anonymous (as in not keeping logs) for smartphones. (They claim they are, but there is very little truth to that). So,…
