Back on deck

Who would have thought that  a small infection could land you in hospital for a week. But that is what happened, went to the Docs with a sore knee, and found myself in hospital, taking antibiotics to get rid of the infection. What a pain, but at least I am out now.

VoIP with asterisk

Well I have now with somewhat mixed results implemented what appears to be a working asterisk server with digium card and even correctly configured for Australia (loop start) and not the default which I guess works well in the US.

Have to give a big thanks to Ben who must have gone to a lot of effort to write Asterisk@Home Without Tears which was a very valuable reference guide and did assist in getting things finally working. I will just point out though if you do happen to be in Australia and are using this reference and installing a Digium card – you will need to change the default signalling from fxo_ks and fxs_ks to fxo_ls and fxs_ls in the zapata-auto.conf file.

I have found NEHOS (a VoIP providor) to provide competitive pricing and also good service, and allow the connection of IAX trunks directly to the asterisk server.

Ten Things (Just Ten!) That Every Nonprofit Executive Needs to Know About Information Technology

Some words of wisdom not only for Nonprofit Executive’s. Technology can be both a great an enabler or a burden to us as both organisations and individuals.
It is a challenge to us all to make the most of Technology and to ensure that it is working for and not against us. By following the suggested methods below, and getting good independent advice (easier said than done) when appropriate, you can at least have a plan in place to ensure that it is working in your favour.
