chan_mobile for Asterisk

admin — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 20:07:16 +0000

I have started playing with chan_mobile for Asterisk 1.4. This is a great add-on for Asterisk. It allows you to use a bluetooth cellphone as a trunk for incomminging and outgoing calls. You can also utilize a bluetooth headset as an extension. (Incomming calls…) Last night I was able to compile chan_mobile for Asterisk 1.4.13 on my Trixbox 2.3 beta box. Once I have FreePBX configured to work smoothly with chan_mobile, I will put together a howto. (I might wait until Trixbox 2.4 is out.) A revision of the chan_skype howto is also coming for the pending Trixbox 2.4 release. Hopefully 2.4 will be released soon.

Canadian understands what we have lost in American

I like to pass things on when they catch my eye. I am not much of a writer. I am a bit to literal and I lack the ability to express my feelings with the written word. While I don’t feel exactly the at the author does… I appreciate its meaning.

Video taping the police is now a felony?

admin — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 04:20:02 +0000

An 18 y/o kid video tapes a traffic stop in Carlisle PA and is charged with a felony wiretapping charge. When did it becoming illegal to record the actions of the police on public streets? I don’t fear many things but I am afraid of the changing face of freedom in America. It should NOT be illegal to record the actions of the police. American’s (and for that fact all people) have the right to oversee and share the actions of their government.

Think the First Assistant District Attorney Jaime Keating effectively summed up my fears:

“The law isn’t solid, But people who do things like this do so at their own peril.”

TimeWarner implements Packet Shaping - Customers Lose

TimeWarner is implementing packet shaping for all RoadRunner customers. Looks like they will drop the priority of VoIP, file sharing and video traffic.

Here is the DSL reports thread.

No word on whether business customers will be affected.

Portable Child Safety Harness for Commerical Flights

admin — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 03:26:55 +0000

I have to hand it to Amsafe Aviation for having a great idea… A portable 1 pound harness that replaces the need for a car seat on a commercial flight. The FAA approved the device today…. Here is a link:

I have been very busy over the last month and a half and haven’t had the time to write much on Geek-Pages.com. This weekend I plan to create some forums:

General Discussion
Linksys NSLU2 - Unslung and OpenSlug Discussion
DD-WRT Advanced Configurations
Asterisk at Home / Trixbox
ENUM at Large
Avaya Definity / Communication Manager (maybe)

I am also working on two articles - The first one is on configuring a NSLU2 with OpenVPN and rSync. The second will be on wireless power settings on the WRT54G/S/L.

More to come soon…

Toad Tadpoles - Toadpoles?

admin — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 03:39:53 +0000

I came out this morning to clean my pond prefilter and found these swimming around in the shallows.

After a little research I figured out that they are American Toad tadpoles. There are at least 50 of them swimming around. The fish don’t seem the slightest bit interested in them.

This might be a little bit of shameless promotion but here it is. I have been writing articles for the site on and off for the last two weeks. Here I am a few articles under the bridge and I am out of ideas. I think it is just writers block. I hope anyway…

If you have any ideas let me know…
