pfSense

09.26.2005 · Posted in Technology

Its been a week since I am playing around pfSense – a firewall solution based on m0n0wall (which, in turn, is based on FreeBSD and lots of open-source tools). For the time being it seems to work fine and handle the small LAN (around 40 users + 7 servers) with no problems.

The cool stuff around it is that it has WebGUI for all its configurations which makes it to be a nice replacement for those 3com ADSL routers people are usually using in such places.

My New SE P910i

Finally I managed to change my phone. My old Nokia 3310 [kindly presented to me by my brother as a birthday gift a three years ago] served me a lot and finally the battery dead. Due to the reason that I needed more powerful mobile I went and got Sony Ericsson p910 which I found to be a very good phone with everything (and even more) stuff I that were in my requirements list.

in addition I got a USB bluetooth (very small and handy) so I can make file exchange between my phone and all the computers I need.

Hope that the new phone will server me as good as the old one.

P.S.: since I have a digital camera in the phone I hope that some photos might appear in this blog from time to time which will make it more lovely.
