Prior to that, I also wrote up this post regarding the ideas around using VXLAN for spanning L2 across an L3 infrastructure. In the second post, I wrote about the…
This won’t be a large post at all; rather a quick follow up to a my first post on this topic.

Definition of IT Security When I say “IT security”, I specifically mean that which secures your office place. The PCs, laptops, Macs, and the networking that your employees use…
I’m thinking about making a Battlefield 1 video on YouTube, and have collected my thoughts here. Read on. The meta topic here is Battlefield 1 and my opinions of it and the franchise. Before we get into that, let me provide some background so that you can understand where I’m coming from. As of this post, I’ve just turned 44. …
This is just a quick update to two of my previous entries. Hardware Theft In this entry I documented how a new 1TB Samsung 960 Pro SSD was stolen from me.
