Another day, another hurricane. And this season isn’t even close to over yet.
Over 1,000 people were killed by Tropical Storm Jeanne in Haiti. Amazing. Haiti isn’t some third-world country halfway across the world, it’s a third-world country just barely off our shores. Isn’t it time for America to clean up our own neighborhood?
I’m really disappointed […]

Jeanne
24Sep04Gainward?
24Sep04Anybody out there running a Gainward FX PowerPack ! Ultra/980 Professional VIVO DVI-DVI with dual 1600×1200 DVI LCDs, particularly Dell 2001FPs?
The price is right, just a few bucks more than the Matrox P650. The specs seem excellent. But I’ve never heard of the brand. And knowing that many cards have trouble driving dual — or […]
Asterisk 1.0
24Sep04Asterisk has gone 1.0. Amazingly enough I read it on Slashdot first.
I think Asterisk has the potential to be one of the most significant Open Source projects of this decade, and this is an important milestone.
Mistaken
22Sep04At the risk of stating the obvious, Network Solutions sucks.
I’m on my third fax trying to get the Administrative / Technical Contacts changed for two of my domains so that I can finally get them transfered elsewhere. When I started this process I was impressed with how quickly I was able to speak with a […]
Crazy Ivan
09Sep04Hurricane Ivan is one big scary storm. The National Hurricane Center is showing it as a strong Category 4 now, but this afternoon it was well into Category 5 territory and the 5-day track had it coming straight up the middle of Florida. Unless something happens that causes Ivan to weaken, wherever he goes will […]
Sunrise
09Sep04Today was my first day in my new Product Development position, back on the day shift. I set three alarms at varying times to make sure that I woke up on time this morning. Unfortunately, the clocks for each also varied and they all went off during a roughly one-minute period. I nearly fell and […]
Sunset
09Sep04The so-called Assault Weapons Ban sunsets on Monday… The pro-gun folks seem to have gotten quiet lately in the hopes that no one will notice, and the anti-gun folks appear nearly silent as well for reasons unknown. Over the past few months the market for pre-ban weapons has evaporated entirely…
I’m no fan of the AWB […]
DID Wanted
09Sep04I’m looking for SIP / IAX origination service from Germany in the 0941 prefix. I only want the phone number and inbound service, nothing else, hopefully for under US$100/year. Nikotel’s Nikotalk service comes close but they’re not offering that prefix yet. Figure I’ll put this now and hope that Google will deliver a reader that […]
