A Time of Renewal on the Changing Time of Life

Dear S_:

Once it was belief the VPN is an unbreakable communication private network; it is not so as revealed in the technical journal I sent you. I thought this VPN article would tickle your brain cells. Besides, it added relevancy to our recent hands-on experiment with the pocket router.

As I mentioned in a previous email, the PR is good for an anchored environment (e.g., at home) where the needed accessories were organized, with easy to find and access dependable outlets. By contrast, the public outlets at the airport are used so much by many passengers, it was a hit-or-miss for a functional unit. I spent more time at the airport looking for dependable outlets to do the PR setup. And then once inside plane on the assigned premium seat (with limited space and location for the combined outlets for earphones, 60w, and 100-240w), although successful, I concluded it was not worth the hassle to do the PR thing on flights.

Did I tell you my floating hotel assigned each user’s mobile device a special code (as in room keys) to access its satellite Internet 24/7? It was secured and convenient when compared to the infancy period of the Internet when I cruised the Danube.

Yes, things are slowly back to normal. Surely, Keats seasons of time comes to mind frequently.

Salve atque Vale,
