• 13:08 @BklynWriter: i'm getting that from twitterfox as well, but i've got it set to check twice an hour. methinks it's another twitter issue. #

• 11:23 FireFox 3 really does seem to be much snappier than FF2, even with all of the add-ons that I use... quite happy with it so far. #

• 12:37 installing firefox 3... let's see how many add-ons break in the process... #
• 13:12 colorzilla, fasterfox, and tabbrowser preferences... not as bad as i'd thought. #
• 13:12 found dev version of colorzilla, replaced tabbrowser preferences and tabs open relative with tab mix plus, and just uninstalled fasterfox... #
• 13:13 also trying out TwitterFox... just kind of makes sense to add it into my mix, all things considered. tinyurl.com/2bmr3q #
• 13:16 oh, fun event of the day: gomer's power supply burning up and filling the room with burnt PCB smell. thank gods for windows in the office... #
• 13:46 i think im going to ditch twitterlicious for twitterfox. less apps to keep up to date, the better... and browser integration is nice. #

• 13:00 *yawns* go into work about an hour ago after a 7.5hr conference call last night... joy. #
• 13:02 got into, even, not go into... #
• 13:05 apparently i can't SIP into my asterisk box from work... the call gets established but no communication, just dead air. need to investigate. #
• 13:06 at least the new microphone headset i bought seems to work, unlike the last one with a flaky microphone cord... wish i hadn't tossed the pkg #
• 13:41 grabbed Voix and found that IAX2 works fine from work, so I can use that instead of X-Lite with SIP... #

So, one of the advantages to using a voice-over-IP carrier such as BroadVoice is the ability to actually do cool things like run Asterisk as your personal phone system.

So, now when you make calls to the house, you'll get a greeting that goes something like "Welcome to the Shadow Sanctum. Press 1 for Paul, 2 for Nonny, 3 for Morgan, 4 for Nathan". Don't worry, you didn't get the wrong number, it's just me playing with geekery.

So from work I can make a SIP connection to my home machine and check my voicemails. Or receive calls placed to my home for me while I'm not there. Or I can call Nonny and talk to her without actually tying up a line at the office or the actual home line, either. I also get emailed when a voice mail message is left for me, too.

People like telemarketers and automated spam dialers? Get hung up on when they don't press a button in a few seconds. The fuckwits that have been calling and hanging up after a moment or two of dead air? Gone.

I also have 2 other numbers on my account; one is local to Washington state for Nonny's parents to call us on. That number now rings Nonny directly; it skips the menu completely. We also have a "private" number that a few close people have; that number rings all phones at the same time (and should dump into my voice mail box if no one picks up).
