For anybody donating $10.00 or more, to the project for helping the unemployed, they get a free High-Performance…

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. This is…

What happened to “Human” in Humanity?

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I really do need to ask this question.  I appreciate my followers and yes, they’re a loyal bunch.  I do need to EVERYBODY one question and everyone on the Internet. We all go about our lives.  We see the homeless person at the exit ramp, on the sidewalk, etc.  Granted a lot of them are…

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…

In the address bar, type about:config 2. You will receive a warning about modifying these setting could cause issues.  Just accept it. 3.You will see…

Imagine never having to pay for a server admin

Posted on June 12, 2012 by Percy Kwong

For Small, Medium, and Large Businesses Alike I don’t know if many people realize what my various amazon offerings are so I thought I would spell them out.  The toughest thing to do is not just set up a server, but to set it up correctly and keep it running. By signing up with me,…

Smartphone Bloatware, the New Malware.

Posted on June 9, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I like my smartphone.  I use a Galaxy S II vs. the Galaxy S III.  Why? I didn’t want to pay the $200.00 overhead for a phone that will be worth $300.00 less in 6 months.  This doesn’t mean I don’t get the performance I need. All the carriers (T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon, Vodacom, Virgin, etc.)…
