First Working Day of Japan

1月

6日

Entire server team is working on Sunday.

Special Pizzas

Today is the fist day that businesses in Japan start working in 2020. Because of the long new year holidays, we had huge traffic hike. In addition, one of our Internet line is being attacked. So, we need to shut down on oof the line to take care of it.

It is almost noon in Japan and I think we are now in clear.

年始の仕事初めのトラフィックに対応するために万全の体制でデータセンターの監視を行いました。昨日から回線の１つの DDOS アタックと見られるトラフィックを検知、その回線を落しての対応を余儀なくされました。

今日はみんなでピッザを食べながらの対応です。今日本はほぼお昼になって、回線使用状況も落ち着いてきたようです。もう少しがんばります。

Best Sushi in Town

People ask me often "where is the best sushi in Seattle?'
I do not eat around ... Many people say Kashiba in Seattle because of Shiro san, the legend. But I hate parking in Seattle. I go to Kiku Sushi in Bellevue. I know Sato san from the the year I came to Washington State, 36 years ago.

I took my daughter to Sushi tonight because she is going back to NY tomorrow.

I had a red one when I was 19.
The first car I owned in California was a Beetle.

This may be the only good thing that came out of Nazi Germany.

Made in America

I bought a T-shirt from a political campaign organization. This is the second time I did this. This time I thought I am going to get T-shirt "Not Made in America" but it is made in America.

I wrote the same thing last time ... I did not even know there is company that makes T-shirt made in America using 100% American produced materials.

Impressed!!!

I was watching TV and found out two things tat amazed me.

(1) There is a name for this game ... "Corn Hole" ... I did not know.
(2) There are professional players ... I did not know.

I have been living in the US for more than 35 years and I did not know those things. The players I saw, they were really good.

SSL, TLS and Security

Lately there is a lot of talk going on around Internet Security. Much of the talk are about supporting TLS 1.2, but you are asked to buy an SSL Certificate. You must be confused like I am. You need to support TLS 1.2 to be considered secure, and soon the newer browsers will enforce that. Starting sometime in March of next year, new browsers will not even display the content if your website is not TLS 1.2 or later.

When you read up on the Internet, you'll learn that TLS is a successor to SSL. So, what is a TLS certificate? Why are you still asked to buy SSL when SSL is replaced by TLS. What is going on?

It is really confusing and stupid. I learned there are two meanings to SSL. (1) SSL is a certificate you buy to verify your company's security. “SSL Certificate”, (2) is the encryption method called SSL. The encryption method SSL is the one that is succeeded by TLS. The versions that are available for TLS are 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. And starting March 2020, anything below TLS 1.2 will not be considered safe. Of course, all SSL excretions are obsolete.

Here is the confusing part: To use TLS, you need to be verified by a third party as an existing business or organization. That certificate is still called SSL. So you need to purchase an SSL certificate to activate TLS. Was I able to clear up this confusion? I hope I did. If you are not SSL certified or using anything less than TLS 1.2, or if you do not know which version you are using, please give us a call. We will be happy to look it up.

This will be my last newsletter for 2019. Have safe holidays and a happy new year. Thank you for being my friend.
