  • I was hired to implement a CRM for an insurance company to replace their current system.

    Of course no documentation or functional requirements where provided, so part of the task was to reverse engineer the current CRM.

    After a couple of hours trying to find some type of backend code on the server, I discovered the bizarre truth: every bit of business logic was implemented in Stored Procedures and Triggers on a MSSQL database. There were no frontend code either on the server, users have some ActiveX controls installed locally that accessed the DB.




  • I’m very happy with my FritzBox (7590), it handles de ADSL connection to the ISP, supports various DDNS providers, Wireguard VPN, 4 port gigabit switch (5 of you don’t need the WAN port), guest WiFi with client isolation.

    It also has basic media server and NAS functionality (with USB3 external hard drives).

    Of course you can change the DNS server and other network controls like QOS, wake on LAN, port forwarding, different profiles with parental controls, filters, connection times, etc.

    They also seem to take security seriously.
