a little prayer

July 7th, 2008

I pray the Lord be with my father as he faces the uncertainty of company downsizing during the eve of his retirement.  I pray he is given the time to earn his full retirement and receive the medical benefits he deserves.

Model-view-controller (MVC)

June 2nd, 2008

Model-view-controller (MVC) is an architectural pattern used in software engineering. Successful use of the pattern isolates business logic from user interface considerations, resulting in an application where it is easier to modify either the visual appearance of the application or the underlying business rules without affecting the other. In MVC, the Model represents the information (the data) of the application and the business rules used to manipulate the data, the View corresponds to elements of the user interface such as text, checkbox items, and so forth, and the Controller manages details involving the communication to the model of user actions such as keystrokes and mouse movements.

Secure Shell or SSH

June 2nd, 2008

Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two computers. Encryption provides confidentiality and integrity of data over an insecure network, such as the Internet. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow the remote computer to authenticate the user, if necessary.

An SSH server, by default, listens on the standard TCP port 22.
