I was using the included backup application that came with OS X, and their online .mac backup solution, but now that my .mac subscription is dead and done, I have decided to go with rsync.net for those few files that I absolutely cannot lose. For just under $6 US a month I get 3 GB of offsite storage that I can access via any of the ssh flavors (ssh/scp/sftp), rsync, or my personal favorite rsync over ssh. It was really easy. After I signed up I just put my public key up, then ran something like…
rsync -azvrpg –progress -e ssh backup username@myserver.rsync.net:/username/dir
This basically says sync the directory named backup on this machine with a directory of the same name inside of /username/dir on the machine myserver.rsync.net, and oh yeah use the lovely encryption that ssh affords us. I’ll probably make a cron to do this for me once a day/week tomorrow.

So far this is what I have done.
1) Get the latest version of asterisk installed and running on the test machine.

2) recompile asterisk with spandsp and the txfax, and rxfax applications (I used 0.0.2pre26 version).

3) edit the extensions.conf to call the new applications appropriately

4) place a successful fax over sip

Yes. Especially with hardware from Meraki Networks. They produce a small $49 USD, low power unit that can act as an 802.11x mesh node. That means that I can provide 802.11x access via a shared trunk, multiple trunks, or any mixture thereof. They also have integrated management via their website. I think I will order ten.

I bought an aminocom manufactured AmiNET110 ethernet set top box on ebay. I am trying to get it running on my home network. From what I gather this is a pretty complicated thing to do. It sounds like you have to do a few things. Here is what I have tried.

didx.org offers wholesale only did numbers and peering service solutions for ITSPs. The per DID rate is set by the DID owner and thus varies. US DID’s average at about $4.50 per month with 5000 included incoming minutes. The best part about this service is the fact that they have a working api. Here is my code for using their api, based on their examples.

1) getdids.pl

This small perl program basically takes two arguments, country code + area code, and returns available DID’s that match that pattern. To view all DID’s availabe for a certain country code simply pass -1 as the area code. Make sure you replace the user and password variables with your username and password.

2) getdidcost.pl

This program takes one argument, the did that you want to order, and returns all associated costs. Again make sure you replace the authentication variables.

I finally got a minute to finish the Asterisk 1.2.1 installer for Tiger. I am uploading it now and you can get it here.

NOTE: Bruno pointed out that the path in the readme is wrong it should be /opt/local/asterisk/usr/sbin/asterisk not /opt local/asterisk/sbin/asterisk. This version doesn’t include the asterisk-addons, or asterisk-sounds packages. I hope to have these included later this week. For now please test, and enjoy.

UPDATE:
I just finished packaging a version that includes asterisk-sounds. You can get that version here.

I need help from the community to make it better, please post suggestions. Enjoy.

I’ve decided that I must become a better web developer. I set of over the Christmas weekend to start learning php. After about two hours down that road I discovered Ruby On Rails, and the next twelve hours of development time were scheduled. A few hours later I discovered AJAX, after glancing through months of slashdot articles and not really knowing what it was. I made my first page using both techlologies today. I am hooked.

We have had some issues with CNAM. I found a solution but am afraid to post it here. For advice or consulting e-mail me. -Peace-

Viatalk officially launched on Monday. Most of the problems that people are having are related to problems with their home networks. I am looking into adding some awesome features in the coming weeks. Just wait, you’ll see.

After all of the hard work, our day is finally at hand. Lets do this.
