The Events of Late

On Friday night Anisha and I went to Gina's Restaurant, located at 209 Symonds Street. Anisha has been there before with her team at Cogent and said the food there was great. Gina's is an Italian restaurant.

We both ordered Pizza. The Pizza comes in only one size and the price you pay is staggered into three pricing groups which depend upon the amount of ingredients used. For example, if you order a pizza with few ingredients you wont pay as much as for a pizza with a lot of ingredients on it. An interesting pricing structure.

Anisha told me that Jolene's Courier bike got stolen which is sad to hear. On Saturday I dropped Anisha off at a neutrometics meeting in Ellerslie .

On Saturday night I installed "Untangle - The Open Source Network Gateway" on my network. This Unified Threat Management gateway is the easiest to install and configure Linux gateway that I have ever worked with. After installing Untangle and specifying a gateway and Lan IP address all that is required is to use the two-click installation of up to 14 individual security applications.

You can install Snort with two clicks of a mouse, as with ClamAV, Web filtering, and any of the other 14 security applications available. The Untangle server unifies all these applications into an easy to use package. From start to finish I was configured in just over an hour. In fact the related hardware which I performed took much longer. Untangle does a fantastic job at making the installation of a Linux-based UTM gateway very painless.

At this stage I would fully recommend giving Untangle a try!

Additional Information: Gina’s Pizza & Pasta Bar has been around for many years. Gina (for whom the restaurant is named) is your typical Italian mamma: She fusses over you, cooks you anything you ask and will do everything she can to make you feel at home. She really is - as our son Massimo calls her – our Fairy Godmother. - www.ginas.co.nz
