Cure for Capacitors
My brother Jordan (A.K.A. jordy) and I have salvaged a motherboard or two with bad caps on it. It can be a sweet way to get a cheap desktop system (do *not* try this with your server). It doesn’t seem like MBs are plagued by bad CAPS like they were 4-5 years ago, [...]
He haunts you!
Arrrr, feed me your pets…
Adventures in VoIP
Ah VoIP…
My caller ID shows up as:
“COMFORT INN SUI” <3038045380>

Cool Planet
Seeing this makes me want to put into action my plans to revamp the Utah Open Source Planet. Wish I would have thought of it first :(
13.2 million dollars
Looks like Digium gets funded. This can only mean good things for the development of Asterisk. It’s interesting to see that Digium has been in the black for a while:
Digium won’t disclose any specific data on its financial performance, but says it has been profitable since 2002, generating 100 percent growth in revenues each year [...]
