Welcome to my personal (small) website!

After hearing about how AsterixNow (aka: trixbox) worked very nicely as an office phone system I setout with a few friends to give it a try!

Below is our voyage of what all it took to get (is taking at this point in time) a system running, the specs of the server, software used, features I've personally added, and other goodies worth sharing.



(Hardware We'll Be Using)
  •  Motherboard: VIA EPIA EN15000G Mini-ITX. 

  •  Case: Morex 2777 Mini-ITX. 

  •  HardDrive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST380815AS 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s. 

  •  CD/DVD: LG Black 8X DVD-ROM 24X CD-R 24X CD-RW 24X CD-ROM 2MB Cache ATAPI Slim Combo Drive. 

  •  RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200).

    • (Software We'll Be Using)

    • (caffeine stuff)
  •  Bodum Chambord 8-Cup Coffee Press. (make coffee like it should be made!)

  •  Bodum Pavina Double Wall Glass, Set of 2 (awesome!). 

  •  Bodum Assam 4-Cup Tea Press. 

  •  New Mexico Piñon Coffee. (By far the best non-traditional coffee in the world! Between Jamaican Blue and this Piñon Coffee, there is no need to drink anything else!)

  •  Indian tea. (Thelesperma megapotamicum, Greenthread, Indian tea, Navajo tea, Hopi tea, cota (Spanish), ch'il ahwéhé (Diné), molanawe (Zuni) or ho hoísi (Hopi).... or, whatever you want to call it lol.)



    • (Screen Shots)
  •  Recent Calls. (pulled from the database, this is a listing of all calls, in/out. The 'weather check' is a custom php script I created to output the current weather to play from a given phone extension, see below.)



    • (Audio / Video)
  •  Local Weather Report. (this is a custom php script I created to pull the weather report from yahoo, save it to a text file, than use flite to save it as a .wav file. I than use a CRON to refresh it every 15 minutes. To listen to it I setup a dialplan of: 611)



    • (DialPlans & Other Settings)
  •  Abela Functions. (this is a global php functions file for stuff I create)

  •  extensions_custom.conf.

  •  Weather To Phone Extension.
