Planet Refresh
I’ve update the Utah Open Source Planet to the latest code and cleared all the caches. This will make things funky in the short term, but better in the long run. Happy blogging (and cooking?).
Ekiga, Asterisk and VPNs
Things are always harder then they’re supposed to be. Plugging in a SIP client to Asterisk should be easy, right? Well, it is, if everything is just perfect. I took a few notes and a few screenshots to help others if they find this fairly typical setup is more difficult then it should [...]
Adding the Tasty Tango Touch
I really liked the “unified look” of the bluecurve icon set – 40 years ago, when it was introduced. I now prefer the crisp and clean look of Tango. Why doesn’t Fedora Core ship with it as an option? It doesn’t need to be the default, just an option. Oh well, [...]
Xen Networking
Here’s my first take on a Xen network that I’m putting together for work.
This all takes place in one physical box with 2 physical network interfaces. I’m still not sure this is path we’ll take, but it’s a start. Also, it might have been less complex if I did routing and NATing in [...]
FC6 – First impressions
I’ve installed what I’m pretty sure will be the final version of FC6 (I checked the SHA1SUMs from a listing at an official mirror). Here are my first impressions:
Mono seems to be totally jacked:
[gabe@office ~]$ tomboy
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ mono -V
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ mcs
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ sqlsharp
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ gmcs
Segmentation fault
[gabe@office ~]$ echo “Segmentation fault”
Segmentation [...]
Asterisk and number hacks
If this needs explained, you won’t think it’s cool anyway ;)
vi /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
;; Call hacks.
[hacks]
exten => 411,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/18003733411)
It makes it so that when you dial 411 (directory service) your call actually goes to a free 411 service. Myself, I have a hard time remembering long toll-free numbers. This makes it easy and free!
Django VS the AMD Sempron
Today’s screenshot is brought to you by the Django Admin interface:
For those of you who don’t recognize this, it’s the GNOME System Monitor applet. The dark blue basically represents CPU usage for Django (more accurately – caused by Django). The model validates [1] and the tables/Models are shown in the front page of [...]
Python and Django – Big points in the first quarter.
I don’t have a ton to say right now (really, I don’t have a lot of *time* to say it), but first impressions of Python and Django are very positive. The admin interface is a great little tool to get things going FAST. I’m really, really impressed. The CREATE TABLES are clean, [...]
Jerry Springer meets the Free Phone Call
This blog details a new service that allows you to make FREE phone calls… there are strings attached.
The deal is that you get a free 6 minute phone call, but you give up your privacy. The calls get published on the Internet for the world to hear. It’s better then tapping the pay [...]
Mailing list archive fun
Reading this made me feel better about my goals that can seem a little ambitious at times:
My objective is to Re-master Fedora Core 5 into a single CD…. am pretty much new to Linux… I have about a weeks time to accomplish this…
Good luck my newbie brother. The command line is your friend. [...]
