Problem Statement My Application is very complicated and it currently takes a lot of coordination and time to deploy my application. Does that sound familiar? I think we’ve all lived that problem at least twice in our lives. Deploying applications is never as easy as just double-clicking on “Setup.exe”, although it should be. The Solution…

Encryption type Matters with Deep Packet Inspection – solved
I was helping a client yesterday set up a VPN tunnel only to have it constantly disconnected. The client was located outside of the country. For the sake of avoiding throttling and saving on CPU, we were using the Blowfish cipher and it kept on getting disconnected. I found this rather strange as I’ve never…
A Perfect Example of Disaster Recovery in the Cloud
Netflix went down yesterday due to power problems at Amazon’s Virginia Datacenter. This of course caused an outage for some of Amazon’s EC2 customers. (Like Netflix). This is a perfect example of why Redundancy in the cloud is important. All of my customers (some of them at EC2 Virginia) stayed up and available. How? Redundancy….
The Virtual Webtop – A different type of experience
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…
What happened to “Human” in Humanity?
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.
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
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…
Privacy on your Smartphone a solution for all
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,…
