Your traces on the web

Everybody who uses the Internet, leaves a trace, even if you don’t use Internet (if you have lived on the moon for the last 10 years), you leave a trace on the web.
These traces go back a long time, sometimes a very long time.
When I was browsing the web I had in the meantime a discussion with one of my Security consultants, he challenged me to type in my own name into google and let the journey through your history begins!

As I did (i love a challenge) I discovered a lot of old stuff, even this (Dutch) newspaper article: http://www.volkskrant.nl/archief_gratis/article650327.ece/Een_gekkenhuis._Dit_is_echt_leuk
Harcopy content available as history on the web… scary right?

So.. try it yourself, type in your name in Google and let the fun begin!

Starwind can offer you a solution, they provide new professional iSCSI software, V5,  that really supports Hyper-V as an Active-Ative cluster, they even provide a free solution for demo purposes to0…
