PPTP VPN with Ubuntu, Netgear and Linksys routers
July 30th, 2009
I was struggling to install VPN (Virtual private network) connection to our company network today. We’ve got Netgear DG834G router with Ubuntu server in the company and Linksys WRT54GR at home. I tried to install PPTP tunneling protocol. It’s insecure but can do the job for now.
Firstly I was trying to install VPN server on Netgear router in the office. I’ve spent some time and then I found out you need to either use Netgear VPN client (not for free), or another Netgear router but this didn’t match my scenario. Then I decided to use the server as PPTP server.

CORBA vs. Web services
January 20th, 2009
CORBA or Web services are two standards supporting machine-to-machine interaction through the network. I’m trying to show facts to understands basics of these technologies and give small comparison if possible. My practical experience from Web services shows easy of development and deployment (apart of some difficulties using Eclipse) using this standard. I’ve got just theoretical experience with CORBA. This essay is part of my coursework at uni for Web services module.
Web services 2 - Design & implementation of a webservice-based E-bank system
January 20th, 2009
Second coursework from Web Services module was to implement web services themselves. We should have had client side completed from coursework #1. Was needed to implement two web services, create WSDL files and use web service stubs in our applications to connect the client with web-service. I was having some troubles with Eclipse, so decided to use Netbeans and all the process ran smoothly finally.
A simple website - use templates or not?
January 9th, 2009
We’ve just finished one website - really simple www.ceko.sk. It has got few pages, mainly focused on the presentation - first look impression - than some huge functionality. Again - the site is simple, but do I have to bother to use templates for this kind of site?

Only logged in employees can access customers data.
