Nice RAQ
I'm now the proud owner of a Cobalt RAQ 3 and a 3i. The 3 will be Asterisk and the 3i will be my firewall. So far I've updated the flash in the 3 using these instructions and no problems. Now I'm working on…
Cisco and Linksys, who should own the SMB space?
Just posted a rant in the comments over at GigaOm. It's up! I've ranted about this before. I just think there's a disconnect between the executives and the local sales organization as to how the SMB space is currently handled. I'm not…

Putty tabs!
Via CiscoBlog.com I've discovered PuttyCM. This act's as a wrapper for putty and gives you session management and tabs. It can do a bunch of other cool tricks like tiled windows and encryption of the configuration database. It's not quite as advanced as…
So maybe I was wrong...
...but not entirely. Turns out the 180 day waiting period for tests is only if you pass. That makes more sense as the only good reason you'd have for going back right away is to braindump. Ok, so maybe I jumped the gun a bit. Still,…
