So Many Boxes…
We’re packing away… although “we” is mostly just Yeni; who is packing like a woman possessed. We’re heading out on Wednesday and looking forward to a change of view. We’re trying to spend as much time with family and friends as possible — taking the time to eat at out favorite spots “one more time” as well as try some new places we had neglected.
While working away, managed to post some quick words:
- VoIP Tech Chat: Blackberry desperate? RIM announces FREE Blackberry Enterprise Server Express
- Team Forrest: SIP Response Codes (just for a quick reference)
- Fat Freddy Says: Updated Review for Nick’s Original House of Pancakes, Ann Arbor
Geeky Item of the Day – Free CNAM
Ok, if you use Asterisk (or a Do It Yourself type VoIP service), you sometimes do not receive the CNAM (think Caller ID with Name data) from your carrier. Well, since geeks like information and anything “free,” there’s a simple way to use the internet to do a reverse number lookup query. So, if you’re a technical type, keep reading… otherwise, non-geek posts will return very soon.
Buffy’s back
The WB network is relaunching online. While many people may not care, knowing that Buffy the Vampire Slayer can be viewed online is quite exciting for me. In fact, I’m just sitting here saying Woo Hoo.
We all know that I’m quite a fan of the Buffy show and this is good news for people looking to not work on their computers. The WB apparently is relaunching as an online-only network. Neat idea.
Anyway, I signed up for the beta program… so who knows? Maybe Anya will be coming to my desktop in the near future.
Voip Tech Chat
So, Patrick and I have been making these chats on voip, called (or as Patrick would say Interestingly enough called) VoipTechChat. We’ve even made a website for it called… wait for it… VoipTechChat.com.
We enjoy it. We talk on regular voip “lines” and record the chat on a regular off the shelf PC I picked up at Wal-mart.
Anyway, we post the chats on the site in mp3 format, or you can even pick it up on iTunes. 
Wanna hear the latest chat? Check it out here. This week is mostly movie talk, very little voip.
Thou shalt not ride on Sundays
So I tried another Sunday ride this week… had a great run to Orlando’s house and then was hoping to get to Sonny’s for AYCE Beef Brisket (yum). Well, long story short, as we pulled into the parking lot, the phone started ringing and it was time to go to work.
Saturday was the annual Orlina Cinco de Mayo party and this year will have to be one of the best.
Good drinks, friends, and just a good time away from it all.
