Securifi Almond, Part 1

Almond-Securifi

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Securifi Almond but I have never used one. Just this past week, I found one of the wireless router at the office need to be replaced. That is one good excuse to get one. I hesitated a little bit because we had recently upgraded the network to Gigabit Ethernet; Securifi Almond does not have Gigabit Ethernet support. The upcoming Securifi Almond+ will have Gigabit Ethernet support.

I should be getting the unit sometimes soon.

I’m Living On The Edge

So, it has been 10 something days living with the iPhone 3G. It is not without flaws, but overall it has been a positive experience. I am usually roaming around the area where 3G coverage is available. Once in a while, I noticed where the 3G signals disappeared and forced me to be living on the Edge. To be honest, it is not a horrible experience on the Edge network. After all, I had the original iPhone for a little more than a year on the Edge network.

In addition to all of that, I had answered two emails prior writing this post. Here I go sending a tiny picture and this posting through the Edge network.

Windows Home Server: McAfee Total Protection Service

I updated the Windows Home Server today found out the notice for McAfee Total Protection Service Add-ins was ready for install. I decided to test the add-ins and installed it. After the install, I found out that Windows Home Server Console performs a lot slower. No doubt that somehow this add-ins effect the performance of Windows Home Server.

I uninstalled the add-ins and Windows Home Server Console performs normally. I assume that it is the add-ins that causes the slowdown.

Rants:

What in the ASDF is Microsoft thinking? It’s always saying that the Network is “at risk” regardless of whatever the situation is.

“The Network is at risk because there are some add-ins available.”

What is wrong with you, Microsoft?
