For a while now, I had not being using FreeSWITCH for my VoIP, but just logging into PennyTel directly with my Nokia E65. It worked OK, but the voice quality wasn’t as good as going through FreeSWITCH.
A month ago my old ADSL router died, so I bought a Billion 5200N to replace it. Since then, [...]
I recently upgraded to snow leopard and noticed some DNS weirdness. I couldn’t ssh to hosts defined in my local DNS, it wouldn’t resolve, but I could resolve them with the host command.
Turns out Snow Leopard made quite a few changes to the resolver, it no longer uses /etc/resolv.conf but mDNSResponder, at least for apple [...]
I had a job come in last week for a linux file server to connect a few windows machines together, and a few printers. The client was exposed to a linux file server in a previous job, and wanted something similar.
It was a small business, with not much money to spend, and the server was [...]
I wanted a few programming projects to do to keep juices flowing. I came up with two twitter ones, http://twitter.com/slugupdates and http://twitter.com/cityrailupdates. Inspired by Lindsay’s bushfire project.

…When I’m not working on linux, I’ve been working on some websites. Mainly blogs, but also some ebay affiliate sites that are usually attached to blogs. I’m trying to get 30 up to start with, but I’m not very commited, I’ve got five going, oldest one is five months old. Once I hit 30, I’ll [...]
I’ve been stuck on this problem for a week. It’s for a solar funnel I’m working on (no, it’s not homework) I’m trying to workout an equation that solves theta given x and y.
The idea is to have the funnel as wide as possible (smallest theta) so sun hitting the very top of the funnel [...]
I started out listening to this tune (called Drifting), well, watching, too. Amazing technique, it struck me how relaxed he is in his shoulders while his hands are banging around. And the Beard!
