Cloud Computing in the Year 2009

One of the hottest topic in 2009 is Cloud Computing. What it essentially means is running an application that is hosted somewhere on the internet. Yep it basically SaaS (Software as a Service) renamed.

I have a notion that they renamed it to Cloud Computing to put less emphasis that you are going to rent the software and more on how the system would operate. But anyway I think Cloud Computing would be good for companies to adopt. One of the advantages is that you don't have to maintain a large IT department since your software applications are hosted somewhere else. And also somebody else is maintaining it for you. And with Broadband becoming the standard internet connection, it is certainly feasible.

However, Cloud Computing does present new sets of challenges. If you're internet connection is down, you won't be able to access your software.

Right now I'm pretty annoyed with my ISP (Internet Service Provider). Because I'm getting a request timeout every few seconds. But this can be solved by having a backup ISP. Which is still cheaper than having a large IT department.

And then there is the issue of entrusting your data to a third party. This issue has to be resolved by way of written contracts to make sure that the Cloud Computing service provider will not use the data without the company's consent.

I believe we will see a stronger effort for Cloud Computing in 2009. There are already a lot of technologies in place that would allow people to take advantage of this concept. You got the Iphone, Android, Google Chrome, Windows Live, and many others. Well see.

And with that I bid you Happy New Year everyone!

How to remove popup.adv.net and mtn5.goole.ws - Final Solution

I usually have no problem dealing with trojans and malwares but this one proved to be the hardest one yet. Because it operates in ways we don't expect. Usually trojans operate within your PC but what if the exploit is hosted somewhere else on the web. Woah! This took a week. Thanks to the people who commented on this blog. I could not figure out this solution without all of you who bounced your ideas here.   Anyway, lets get rid of it . 1. In the Windows menu go to Start>Run 2. Type cmd 3. This will fire up the command window 4. Type ipconfig /all 5. This will display the actual configuration of your LAN card. Pay particular attention to the DNS entry. In my PC I got three entries: 0.255.122.15 85.255.112.156 1.2.3.4 Two of these entries are not correctly formed while 85.255.112.156 is the DNS address of the exploiter. A proper DNS entry given by your ISP should look something like - 58.69.254.143 6. Type ipconfig /release 7. Then ty...

GIMP: How to Enable Wacom Pen Tablet

If you are doing digital graphics in Gimp, whether painting or simply drawing, it is best to use a pen tablet. Wacom is a recognized brand when it comes to pen tablets. Gimp does support it but it is not enabled by default. How to Enable Pen Tablet Support 1. Launch Gimp using your pen tablet. Don't use the mouse to launch Gimp. If you do, Gimp won't detect it. 2. In the menu click Edit>Preference. 3. On the list click "Input Devices". 4. Click "Configure Extended Input Decives". Here is where Gimp gets weird. If you started Gimp for the first time using a mouse, it will say there are no available input device. But if you launched it using the pen tablet, you will see "Wacom Tablet Pressure Stylus" and "Wacom Tablet Eraser" . 5. Click the Close Button 6. Click "Save Input Device Settings Now" so that the pen tablet will still be supported when you launch Gimp next time.
