Get Your Business Online Today

Of course Google has a motive to get people online, but they’re right. It’s very simple to get a presence online, and it doesn’t cost all that much – less than $7/month for a package I use for my -personal- Internet presence, and there are even lower cost and “free” offerings. I still believe the immediate benefit for absolutely anyone who does it is the @yourdomain.com e-mail, but you might have something even bigger.

I don’t particularly like the Intuit “website in a package” they tie in with this, but there are a lot of other ways to do it. But having the ability to build your Internet presence – and NOT just through Facebook or Google+ – and just keeping it in mind, thinking about how you might be able to parallel or change your brick-and-mortar with an online presence has huge potential.

If you’ve thought about it but not known how to approach it, or if you’ve never thought about it and just have questions and don’t know who to ask, ask me.

There have been a few times I’ve thought it would be nice to have a small, “low end box” somewhere for various tasks and viewpoints to the world.  They list some pretty good prices here, down to about a dollar a month for some of the very lightweight solutions.

netem | The Linux Foundation

I’ve used tc in the past, and it’s loosely related to something else I’m currently reviewing, but not tied directly enough that it’s something I want to delve deeply into at the moment.  The quick takeaway is, if you are trying to emulate the characteristics of a network connection within a lab, this (probably) is the tool you’re looking for.

I ran across this article while investigating a bug-that-was-not-a-bug-but-proper-behavior.  I’d see the SRV records before when looking at Microsoft DNS for Active Directory, but didn’t know the details about what it was or how it was used.  Great summary article.

IPv6 – Charter

Yet another tab that I need to make a note of and come back to at some point.  Interested to see how my Asus router with Tomato firmware does with IPv6, and to start spending some time getting familiar with the “new” protocol.
