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…
Completely off topic.. Just a personal note.
My bird said her first words today. Ironically, they weren’t “I love you” which I was trying to teach her, but rather… “RTFM”.. How Ironic. I have no idea where she picked it up, but it’s clear she did from somewhere. She also hums along to the music that make my heart hurt. Whenever the…
The most common mistake in Applications and Databases in general
So many programmers make this mistake because they don’t seem to get it. It’s not your fault as a programmer / developer. It’s just that you’re not a DBA. You need to implement Connection pooling.

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…
True Dynamic Path Routing
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…
