Death Valley Park Camping

I brought the kids to Death Valley National Park, California

this Easter weekend (April 3rd and 4th, 2010).

Its a nice way to welcome the birth of Spring and enjoy

the great desert before the searing Summer Heat burns the place.

Wild flowers abound through out the desert.

Death Valley got its name from lost 49er Pioneers who crossed the desert looking for a short route heading West

but almost died crossing the foreboding terrain. Only one pioneer died out of the ordeal.

I didn't really calculate the distance of this place relative to San Diego.

All I knew was, the site is located somewhere and near Mojave Desert

and the City of Barstow. So I fuigured it should be a drive somewhere 4 to 4.5 hrs.

Boy was I wrong.

The drive was a good 6.5 hrs long, not to mention the time spent getting lost

in the dark since I travelled at night to take advantage of the kids being asleep.

The travel was, as if I drove from San Diego to Las Vegas.

Anyway, its a nice time of the year to visit the desert and appreciate the blooming

wild flowers; hike / play in the sand dunes. Temperatures are still tolerable.

A summer sleeping is all what's needed for a good night's sleep.

I'll share Camping dishes I cooked this time around in a separate blog entry.

Here are some of our pictures.

I hope you like them.

Come on, go out for a Camping trip, smell the fresh air :-),

to enjoy the outdoors when the weather

permits in your part of the country.

Wireless Bridge Solution

***

Project 20

Bridging a Gap,

Wirelessly

What You’ll Need

• A wireless bridge—aka gaming adapter
• Your computers with web browsers

Cost: $30–60 for wireless gaming adapter

For some of us, it is relatively easy to expand our network with wires. We “simply”

crawl under the house or in the attic, run some new wires, drill a few holes, install

a couple of RJ-45 jacks, plug in, and go. For many people—apartment dwellers,

house renters, locations with impenetrable ceilings and walls—expanding a network

connection that requires wires at both ends is at least a challenge, if not impossible.

While a laptop may network wirelessly over relatively short distances, walls,

pipes, electrical cabling, and distance can inhibit connectivity. Taking an example from

popular gaming consoles which have only a wired Ethernet port, some computing

devices such as network-capable printers, simply do not connect and network without

an Ethernet cable. A solution is to use Wi-Fi hardware to extend your network as far

as you can without wires, and then return to wires using the wireless bridge where

necessary.

Typically, you would specifically look for a pair of wireless bridges—devices designed

to “bridge the gap”—but these devices are usually not in stock at even the most

geeky of electronics stores. If you already have Wi-Fi capability at one end of your

network, you can bridge the gap by adding just one easy-to-find device—a wireless

gaming adapter. As much by coincidence as luck in picking a low-cost solution to try,

I discovered that the D-Link DGL-3420 Wireless 108AG Gaming Adapter, shown in

Figure 20-1, will stretch my LAN.

Figure 20-1

The D-Link Gaming

Adapter is a small but

powerful addition to

your home network.

By adding a wireless gaming adapter as a network bridge, you can extend your

network well beyond just a length of wire or the range of wireless to include other

wired PCs distant from the main connection point, similar to the network schematic

shown in Figure 20-2. This too can be expanded on with additional bridges, as described

in Project 21.Figure 20-1

Project 21

Expanding

Beyond the

Bridge

What You’ll Need

• A wireless bridge—aka gaming adapter
• Leftover nonwireless router from Project 2
• Your computers with web browsers

Cost: $0

Now that we’ve wirelessly jumped a huge span of real estate from one end of

the house to the other in Project 20, we can reintroduce wires into our extended

network configuration.

Our network continues to grow to include many computers at either end of a wirelessly

bridged network, to the new network scheme of Figure 21-1. All we need is that

old nonwireless router we removed from service in Project 2. Instead of being used as

the main expansion of our one-connection DSL or cable service, and as a firewall, we

reuse this gadget to become part of our local network at the far end of a wireless connection

configured in Project 20. All this takes is a few simple reconfiguration steps to

allow it to accept the IP address of our local network, turn off the firewall, and let it

dish out a new set of IP addresses for the extended network clients.

that I attended last Friday

at the New Horizons Sneak Peek

Event is a preview on the Xen Desktop 4.

Xen Desktop 4 Supports:

- Any Desktop (virtual or real), anytime, anywhere

- HDX user experience

- Flexcast Technology

- On Demand Applications

Basically Citrix sales people

did a demo of the usage and performance

of Xen Desktop 4 from a browser in the classroom

and explained its Architectire and

components.

They were giving out arguments why

Xen Desktop 4 is better than their competition

VMWare View product running PCoIP protocol.

They've divided the type of information

being streamed to three parts:

- Desktop OS

- Apps

- User Profile

They're still using their proprietary

ICA protocol and claim that

it runs 90% less bandwidth

using HDX Technology.

HDX TEchnology

- leverage the processing power of the

endpoint device to render the multimedia content.

- Support real time collaboration: bi-directional

audio capabilities. Enables users to connect

audio peripherals: microphones at the endpoint device.

- Supports 3D

- Plug and play enables connectivity for USB,

multiple-monitor, printers, etc.

- best network performance using ICA protocol

- 90% less bandwidth using iCA protocol

Flexcast TEchnology

- Citrix's Solution to deliver any type

of Virtual Desktop or any Hardware

whether its a thin client,

a Desktop PC, a mobile device such as Iphone,

or a Laptop PC.

-This technology is actually not part of

Xen Desktop.

- Requires a license to utilize this, per seat or per user.

Xen Desktop 4 can deliver your Desktop for:

- Mobile users

- Guest (Kiosk)

- Office Worker

- Remote user

- Task user

On Demand Application

-Think Itunes store interface. Users are now

- Application virtualization that can be run

locally or hosted through a Data Center

- scalable

- Supports Open Architecture: Can run on any platform

using Hypervisor, any storage platform,

any endpoint device. Support Plug and Play

with Microsoft products.
