Collection of useful, relevant or just fun places on the Internets for 27th August 2012 and a bit commentary about what I’ve found interesting about them:
Keeping Your Site Alive | Electronic Frontier Foundation – EFF provides some basic information about surviving a DDOS attack.
Salesforce losses swell, despite rise in sales • The Register – Salesforce.com is a poster child for the cloud as well. Or AaaS or whatever. It doesn’t make a profit. Like Amazon. Go the cloud.
The company said it expected earnings per diluted share of between $1.48 and $1.51 but on a diluted non-GAAP EPS – excluding certain costs – chief executive Marc Benioff’s company expects to come in in range of $0.31 to $0.32. Wall St’s money men had expected $0.34 a share.
Mykonos Web Intrusion Deception – Protecting websi… – J-Net Community – I’m keen to find out more about Mykonos too but Glen Kemp (who also blogs at Packet Pushers) says
Such is my enthusiasm for the product that I’m intending to deploy it to supplement our more traditional security controls as a matter of urgency in the next few weeks, and hopefully some customer environments in the next few months.
Good article. One day, I’ll get to take a look it.
InformationWeek Reports ::Reseach: The Next-Gen WAN – I wrote a research report for InformationWeek about the “The Next-Gen WAN” which some people have said is worth reading. You will need to go through a regwall to get it.
One respondent to our InformationWeek Next Generation WAN Survey asked an interesting rhetorical question: “Shouldn’t there be a Moore’s Law of WAN connectivity?”
At least, we think it was rhetorical.
DropboxPortableAHK – Portable Dropbox App – Fully portable version of Dropbox client. No system privileges, run it from a USB stick.
My CCIE Story – Part 5 (The Aftermath) | Lame Journal – John Herbert has posted a five part story of his experience in working through CCIE program. He talks abut his experiences the before, during AND after. Enjoyed this thoroughly.
The Importance of Diagrams When Building A Network – YES!
Finally, as someone once opined to me, there are two types of people who document their networks – the people who do it before they build it, and the people who do not do it. While I can’t guarantee that diagramming your network and working from that will result in a cleaner, more sane environment than building configs in your head and then documenting the result, based on my roughly 12 years of doing this, I’ll put money on it.
End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco 6500, 6100, and 6300 Series Line Cards and PoE Daughter Cards for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Products [Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches] – Cisco Systems – Still five more years of the supporting the 61xx, 63xx and 65xx modules in the Cat6500. How are we going to move networking forward if the equipment never dies ?
