Cisco AnyConnect Essentials

I recently discovered this new Cisco AnyConnect Essentials license being touted for the 8.2 code for ASAs.  It took me a little while to parse through the cryptic description on Cisco's site but it seems that you can now get client based SSL for a couple hundres…

I'm still here!

Wow...I knew I had been neglecting the blog but I didn't realize it had been over a month! So, what have I been doing?  Working too much!  This time of year has gotten worse and worse over the last several years.  It seems like the kids all…

Google servers revealed!

I love this kind of stuff:  http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10209580-92.html Here you have a company that's entirely about the efficiency of massively parallel systems.  They're finally pulling back the current a bit and showing how best it works on a scale of 1000&…

Rack it!

I've ordered some rackmount cases from Newegg finally.  They should be arriving today and I'll try to make a point of posting some pictures with my success (or otherwise!).  I'm getting the Norco RPC-250's since they have plenty of space for motherboards…
