The default UI on Gnome 3 is Bad. Everyone knows it. I’ve been running Fedora 14 for what seems like years, hoping that one day the Gnome development team pulls their heads out of their collective asses and restores a simple, low impact interface. Instead, as of Fedora 16, I still see these gigantic window title bars, [...]
I’m using PHP to create a daemon(system process) that listens for request to dial outbound calls from a Asterisk based dialer. Before I even got started I got the following error: Many websites suggest recompiling PHP or installing ‘php-posix’, which isn’t in the Fedora repo. After some searching I found that ‘php-posix’ is part of [...]
Queuemetrics is by far the best Call Center software Linux. My only complaint might be that Java is huge resource hog when it parses the Asterisk. ‘/var/log/asterisk/queue_log’. Luckily Loway provides an excellent PERL script called Qloader. Today we will walk through installing Queuemeteics,MySQL,and Qloader daemon. My installation instructions are basically a quick rundown of the excellent infomation [...]
For AT&T it’s another day, another dollar… or rather billions of dollars. Your’s, collected from taxes and deficit spending. I read a article on cnet about AT&T’s justification of ‘download usage caps’. AT&T General Counsel Wayne Watts reasoned the need for caps like this, “It is hardly surprising that the general counsel of Netflix, a company [...]
This is a simple script for logging out Dynamic Agents in Asterisk. The most common use would be to logout Agents automatically each day in case they forget or are on PAUSE. Edit the “LOGGEDIN” variable below to match the correct length of digits. By default it is three, ’SIP/…’. You can add as many or [...]
Virtualization and cloud services are great! Everyone wants to move services to web space, but little is written about migrating to physical hardware. Even though virtualized environments are ideal for labs(at least from cost and organization stand point). Open Source QEMU-KVM provides an excellent set of tools through libvirtd/virt-manager. I use virtualization for test lab [...]
Tor is a Open Source distributed network of virtual tunnels for the purpose of anonmity online. Here is a excerpt from their site describing the mission of Tor: Ongoing trends in law, policy, and technology threaten anonymity as never before, undermining our ability to speak and read freely online. These trends also undermine national security [...]
I’m knee deep into writing Voice Provision .04(VP4) for VoiceIP Solutions. Why write another Asterisk GUI? Because the Trixbox and Elastix software is way to convoluted and makes customization difficult. They are not well documented and don’t attribute credit back to Asterisk or Digium. Standard Asterisk scripting and basic macro’s are easier to setup, maintain, [...]
Savelono.com was down for three days this week(July 27th-30th). The Vitual Machine that host the site crashed likely due to a traffic spike. My apologies for the down time. I was fly fishing in Idaho. For the rest of the week you may read savelono.com free of charge.
A customer of VoiceIP Solutions sent me this useful tutorial for re-sampling Polycom Ringtones. If you have an MP3 you like, it can be re-sampled for use with a Polycom IP SIP phone! The procedure is pretty straight forward, Install Audacity with yum or your favorite package manager, re-sample the track, then edit the [...]
