asterisk

Thanks to Google Voice I don’t have to pay for calling in the US through my home phone. I have been tinkering with my home Asterisk PBX setup for about a month now. It’s only today that I have gotten it to work with Google Voice perfectly.

  1. First ,I need to get my incoming DID working perfectly. Before,I have been using Ipkall base on the NerdVittles article but I there is a problem with it because Ipkall doesn’t seem to pass Google Voice did,which is required for the setup to work. Therefore ,I just used Sipgate which works perfectly.
  2. Secondly,setup your asterisk just follow NerdVittles article

With this setup,I would just dial 48+areacode+number for all US calls! Now I only have to pay for calls going to the Philippines but for US calls ,It’s free!

Garmin C340

Just updated Joanne Arcay’s Garmin C340. Actually I already updated this to the 2010 map but she told me that she couldn’t select select a destination state. I tried to just reboot and reset the device but it did not work so I had to do a reinstall of the map.

With the method I use I was able to fit all the 2010 maps on the device itself without using a SD card.

I got help from this blogs.

Lighttpd 1.5,WordPress and Gallery 3

Leave a reply

For 3 days I was mucking with the site and Installed lighttpd 1.5 with modcache. Well I was able to get it to partially work ..but what sucks is there is something wrong with the way Lighty 1.5 handles the aliasing of some of the apps such as Gallery 3 and WordPress.

For one,the login page for this main blog is all borked. There is no graphics that is showing .On the wedding project blog ,all the graphics is not showing. Oh,I forgot to mention that I only got this on my home network.When I access the site outside,everything is perfect. So I what I could do.I looked at all the resources ,googled everything but nada,not a thing solves the problem. No wonder when I try to see if Debian has official Lighttpd 1.5 ,I couldn’t find any . It seems 1.5 is still not ready for primetime.

So we are back to 1.4 for now. . Back to work!

Project: Wedding Blog

Leave a reply

Started on a new project yesterday for a wedding blog. This is really such a daunting task since I only just recently caught up on this blogging thing much less web design.

I’ve been reading a lot lately about how this works. Skimming the web also for help. I also just now went to Kuler which is a cool site to get your color palette for your site. Right now the site is pretty much in the alpha stage.

At first,I was looking for a wordpress theme for wedding and I only found a few and I don’t like them. So I looked for a customizable theme,that’s why I settled for Inove for now.Since I am already using Atahualpa theme for this blog ,I wanted to try something else.

Stay tuned as I learn the ropes…
