About OneByte
My name is Alex Hess and I'm the creator of OneByte. I created OneByte to serve as personal documentation of my work in technology. I found that many of the projects I worked on had valuable information. In hopes to preserve that information I decided to catalog and document my experiences here. OneByte is an evolving project and I hope it helps others as in the process. If it doesn't help you I hope you enjoy reading the nonsense. - yours truly

The incomplete path to a syslog
The path to a great syslog! My first full-fledged syslog deployment should be interesting, and an educational read for anyone who’s on a similar path. If you do not already know what a syslog is, I suggest you do some research. When you’re ready please come back.
Parallels RAS Remote Desktop Client – mass management

How to setup Mesh – Ruckus Unleashed
I’m familiar with Ruckus equipment as I have them deployed in an enterprise environment with a controller. Fantastic products. Some executives needed solid wireless in their homes and I thought what better than an R500 ruckus WAP? A few months ago Ruckus released a consumer/SMB model, Ruckus Unleashed. My guess is this was designed for small companies starting off with no controller giving them the scaling option to add a controller at a later date as they grow.
