As I understand it, we won't be delivering the 10 webcasts that were scheduled for today. A lack of power has impacted...

  • Blog Post: VPN Is Dead - here's your new killer app

    Keith Combs
    One of my favorite features of all time is RPC Over HTTP. Most of you are familiar with it because it allows Outlook to encapsulate RPC calls inside a HTTP packet or frame. That frame must of course travel across the internet to your “Front-End” server or proxy. All of that voodoo just makes...
