Working in a company that has its reach spread globally, I sometimes find it frustrating that we can’t get some urgent stuff completed because of a network problem in another location. This can be time consuming and can cost a lot to the company. I came across Uplogix Envoy and I think that this is a great product.
Uplogix Envoy is a secure, remote management system that can help alleviate the cost and complexity of managing a
Network Security System . The company promises on delivering automation via realtime monitoring and management of your network infrastructure. Even if your network goes down, the Envoy appliance is still always connected, thereby enabling administrators to quickly get the problem fixed without moving to another location.
The system uses the latest encryption and authentication standards to provide top-class security. The Envoy system uses the Secure Shell Version 2 (SSHv2) for encryption. To prevent unauthorized access, the system closes idle console sessions thereby placing further restrictions on accessing the system.

In the latest news reports, it seems that some unwanted elements of society racially abused Andrew Symonds during the 6th ODI. After reading that news, I wasn’t all that surprised. He had it coming. Although I am not a racist or support racism, Australian cricketers had been getting away with a lot of things off late. Yes, they are the World Champions. No, that does not give them the right to talk crap in the name of aggression.
The spectators who “supposedly” passed racist comments must be penalised, provided they can be found. There is no place for such idiots in the game. Regardless of what another country’s people do, we as Indians have always been passionate about the game and never crossed the limit like this. Barring the 1996 World Cup semi-final, Indian spectators have always directed their ire at their own cricketers.
ICC wants to get these spectators penalised. And how on earth are they going to achieve this task. We are talking about 50,000+ people who come to watch the match. How can you pin point one person or a group of people making racist comments. All that can be done is educate the spectators that racism is just not on. And the BCCI is going to advertise that message in tonight’s game in Mumbai.
Post your comments on what you think about racism in India and what can be done to stop incidents like this from happening.

As Dean Jones so affectionately calls him, the Big Bear has finally put in the towel and announced his retirement (
Part 1 and
Part 2 of the presentation). I would like to, first of all, pay my tributes to a legend who has enriched the game by his spectacular batting. A man who announced himself on cricket’s biggest stage at the World Cup in 1992. Then a lanky 22 year old, Inzy has had a fruitful, eventful, and often controversial career. He has played some truly remarkable innings and has caused quite a few heartaches, thanks mostly to his legendary shocking running between the wickets.
Below is his career statistics, but figures don’t always tell the entire story. The game of cricket has truly lost a legend. From the incident that saw him almost maul a fan in Toronto, to his captaincy and Pakistan’s shocking ouster from the 2003 World Cup, the man has been involved in a lot of things.

The above stats are even more mind-boggling considering Inzy’s complete lack of a fitness regime. Hopefully, he will still be attached to the game as he still has a lot to offer.
