Barracuda a Leader in Email and Web Security Acquires Netcontinuum

Mergers and acquisitions is what you often hear from the news. Here's another latest on the merger and acquisition news. Barracuda Networks a leader in email and web security has acquired NetContinuum, a web firewall appliances vendor to boost up it's operation . It's not clear how much was at stake here but Barracuda for sure is making this step to enter into Web application security business. I am not Nostradamus, to predict this one but I guess that's the logical next move.

The acquisition will add up a new type of appliance to sell together with its current line of appliances. This will come only after investing a heavy remake on NetContinuum's user interface which they will probably sell afterwards as the Barracuda Web App Controller. The price of the new appliance will roughly cost around from $20,600 to $34,300. The effectiveness and versatility of the product when it comes to protection power is worth the cost.

Heroes Season 2 has started

For all Heroes lover out there, the great science mythology is back on its New Season! I myself is a HUGE fan of this NBC TV series.  Even though it's not being shown here in Thailand and without Youtube for almost 4 months, I tried to find ways to view and download some episodes on different sites just to put the jigsaw together.

Therese reminded me of its premier last week. I'm glad that Youtube is back now.  Searching is much easier.   I found the answers from rozalhiro's account. He has Heroes Season 2, Episode 1, Part 1 to 6. You're the man, rozalhiro! Thanks alot!

My Reliable Printers

My work as a desktop publisher few years back was very fulfilling.  As I create my designs on Corel, Microsoft Publisher and Photoshop for calling cards, invitations, booklets, letterheads and logos I always got commended by my clients.  Thanks to my ever reliable printer which was HP Color Inkjet, I always get the perfect results for my work.  

Until this day I'm still using HP printer at home with model Hewlett Packard LaserJet 1018  Printer.  Some of the features that I like with this kind of printer is that; it's space saving, ideal for cramp spaces like mine in my apartment.  It's so easy to use, by just plugging it in and install the printer driver, in a few minutes it is already functional. It also has an easy to fit and removable toner cartridge.  So when I encounter paper feeds I just remove the cartridge and pull out the paper which was stuck inside.

Here in my office I use 2 HP printers as well.  For the colored I have HP Color LJ2605 and HP LaserJet  2100 for my black and white. Both have great precision with colors and completely crisp and clear texts.

Something special

I celebrated my natal day yesterday by hosting the Holy Rosary at the chapel together with other AIT Catholic community members. It marks the beginning of the month of Rosary and will be carried out until 31st of October. 

It was a double celebration with my friend Mary Rosary who was celebrating her special day too.  She ordered sumptuous  foods from the cafeteria, and I prepared Palabok and chocolate cake for dessert.  All went well for our humble celebration.
