At this rate I should make an Asterisk category! Something I keep running across and forgetting to document is the configuration of the Cisco 1760 as a SIP gateway. Specifically, I have the context set to “from-pstn”. I prefer this because it separates it, if such a thing ever becomes important to me. The problem […]
I’ve found that mowing can often lead my mind to wander to interesting places. I sometimes experience this when I’m driving and don’t have the radio on. Today I had a bit of a revelation in the self-awareness department. Something I stress about regularly is if I could be doing more. Of course, the answer […]
I always forget this but it’s important to add the following line to modules.conf when you compile in park and paging with SCCP: load => res_features.so
I’m in the process of installing Trixbox which is the new version of Asterisk@Home. It seems some things are not enabled by default, like voicemail. Also, it would seem SCCP is missing some stuff to install. I found this maillist entry that sums up the steps pretty succinctly. So far it LOOKS like it’s working […]
Is it possible to feel nostalgia for something you’ve never experienced? Such is the conundrum I’m left with after taking the kids to see Cars yesterday. As with just about every Pixar movie it was pretty good. I’m looking forward to seeing it again just so I can try to catch more of the adult […]

Well, it’s official. I’m on a MacBook now. Yep, I finally convinced my employer to buy me one. I know, amazing… It’s very nice so far. Very good performance. The reflective screen isn’t too distracting and the keyboard is very nice. Those were the two main things I was worried about. I’ve installed Bootcamp and […]
I finally convinced my company to get me a Macbook to replace my aging Emachine laptop. The Emachine’s done well but I’ve been having screen flickering problems. So, we went to Macmall to place the order as they are advertising a $75 rebate. We declined the repeated efforts to get us to take the “free” […]
Not been posting much lately. That’s mainly because I’ve been fighting with the M3. I’ve been having a bit of an overheating problem. So far I’ve replaced a fuse, the front auxilary fan and now the coolant. I doubt the coolant will solve the problem but something better soon. It’s tough having such a fun […]
