On my Mac I’ve got firewall so I should fill secure. But as we know there are so much application which sends data from our computer thought firewall. I found very nice application called “Little Snitch“. It’s cost just 29.95$ and you can evaluate it for free, there is only one problem application stops every 3 hours and than you can restart it.

Installation is quick, but after installation is finished restart is required. After restart my machine starts for very very very long time, but finally it has started. Little Snitch has predefined rules and this rules is good start.

My name is Sebastian Pietrowski. I've finished Warsaw University as Master degree. I started my journey with Java 1.1 with Thread and JDBC programing in 1998 as I worked for merlin.pl. In 1999 I've passed Java Programer Certificate for Java 1.2, and was solution architect of merlin.pl infrastructure when we was moving from pl/sql to J2EE. It was great performance optimization with 10 times more req/sec than in requirements and 85 times faster as original solution.

Currently I work as Expert Software Development Java at F.Hoffmann-La Roche. The company was founded in 1896 and today, Roche employs over 80.000 people. After work I'm involved in activities related to Scala/Lift, Ruby/Rails/Merb, Python/Django. This is because I try to be pragmatic also I'm focused on application performance and tuning with success in my daily work.
