VoIP VoIP VoIP

Category: TechTB @ 6:30 pm

I’m totally on a VoIP geek trip these past few days. I’ve got ideas in my head that I want to get working on. Finally going to get rid of Vonage (my first actual foray into VoIP away from a PC environment) and then going jump in! VoIP, QoS, SIP, STUN, ATA, G.711/723/729…

I would totally go overboard and setup my own PBX, I totally could, hmm, I’ll think about it, now that’s a big commitment. I’m just waiting for SIP credentials on my own domain, then BAM! I’m VoIP complete for ever and ever, much like my email address now, it’s forever baby (if you know it, you know what I’m talking about).

If you don’t understand any of this, too bad, you’re missing out on the geek life. More details later, this is exciting…

Fortune Cookie

What tonight’s fortune cookie stated:

From now on your kindness will lead you to success

Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me personally, unless you add the required “…in bed”.

Station Of Play

Category: Photos With TB, Review, TechTB @ 1:47 pm

Buddy of mine bought a PS3 so a few of us had our time with it yesterday. Overall I wasn’t impressed, especially with Gears of War for the Xbox 360 right next to it (which was amazing). But the console just launched and all the games were pretty much rushed out for it, but still, not impressive as of yet.

So if you’re looking for the cheapest Blu-ray player out there, try and get the PS3 (once they’re in stock anywhere), otherwise just go for the Nintendo Wii or the Microsoft Xbox 360. 6 months from now it could all be different obviously.

I’ll post a couple pictures I took in the photos section later when I’m not so lazy.

The Things that Make us Happy
Make us Wise.

– John Crowley

An apt quote for the past few weeks of my life. Came across it while reading Little, Big these two days I’ve been home.

Took a few days off of school and work and came home early, what does that mean? 2 weeks living at home and relaxing, sleep and eat baby.

I need this so bad, last couple of months have been extremely non-stop for me.
