This is my guestbook. You are my guest. I guess that makes this your book. Hmmm... Just remember, you're sharing it with everyone else, so be nice. :)
Shawn,
Upon your recommendation I took a look at the MosKeyto (LJ Feb, p. 16). I've been ogling small USB drives so this looked like "the thing to get." Looked it up at Newegg and the price looked good too. However, this device took a real beating in the reviews by purchasers: it was found to be slow and commonly unreliable.
That doesn't keep me from reading more. Keep up the good work.

Hey Shawn,
I feel I know you from all your articles, videos and postings. Hope your house is soon rebuilt and the medics find a way to cure your migraines (my wife is an occasional sufferer).
I look forward to reading your articles for many years to come.
Cheers
Smotsie
Thanks Smotsie! Today was a pretty good day, hopefully the migraines will soon be a thing of the past. :)

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
