The Virtual Webtop – A different type of experience

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Percy Kwong

The Term Webtop has been a long time, but has been a fledgeling technology that has failed to take off.  The reality is the technology wasn’t ready.  In my honest opinion, the original creators had the right idea, but they got the whole concept wrong. So here’s where I’ve come to think about it on…

True Dynamic Path Routing

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Percy Kwong

Everybody talks about BGP and assumes it’s as easy as just simply routing out the internet gateway. This is what most ISPs and Cloud providers do is just advertise their paths.  A truly high-performance cloud provider will have multiple connections to multiple backbones and use ToS and try special paths to certain IPs.

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.
