The rants and raves of a technogeek
Working on a new book ….
As most of you reading this blog, you must know that I’ve published an AsteriskNOW book early this year. I’m happy to say that I’ve received numerous emails since the publication of the book, all asking various questions about Asterisk in general and AsteriskNOW in particular.
Most of the questions that I received were related to the development of AGI and AMI scripts, and how to utilize Asterisk as an application layer platform. This inspired me to work on additonal title, to complete my previous book. I’m currently working on an Asterisk Developers guide, for AGI/CTI development with Asterisk. The book serves as a complete guide, summarizing the various aspects of developing AGI/CTI applications with Asterisk, while, enjoying various additions from my day-to-day experience with AGI/CTI development with Asterisk. The book is written as an eye-opener for experienced developers, wishing to make their transition to AGI/CTI development, and teaches them how to avoid the most common mistakes of early day AGI developers.
I’ll be be updating the blog with my progress. Currently, chapters 1 through 5 are complete, covering the basic aspects of dial-plan and AGI development. More information will be released soon.

Can you trust your integrator with Fraud Analysis?
about 1 year ago - No comments
As some of you know, over the past 9 months, I’ve been heavily involved in the establishment of Humbug. For those who may not know, Humbug is a Call Analytics and Fraud Analysis SAAS. Now, differing from many of the current telephony SAAS projects, we are not based on Amazon EC2 or some other public cloud infrastructure, we build our own cloud environment. Why do we build our own cloud? simple, we need to keep your data secured and confidential. At Humbug, we see ourselves as a cross between Google Analytics – in our ability to analyze and handle data and Verisign – in our security and confidentiality requirements and methodologies.
Business 2.0 – Taking the leap forward…
about 1 year ago - No comments
The following post doesn’t really fit in line with the normal spirit of the blog, simply because it’s not funny nor directly related to technology. It’s called Business 2.0, as it relates to the ever problematic question any business owner has: “When should I grow and how?”.
Asterisk, Greed and Revenue Shares

Revenue sharing is one of the oldest methods of earning profits, actually, I believe it may just be right up there with trading of goods and food.
Open Source, Philanthropy and Asterisk
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
When I started using Open Source software, it seemed like all Open Source projects are driven by philanthropic agendas. We were all focused on “sticking it to the man” – showing all these would be software vendors that community driven projects can do just as well – if not better.
Call Analytics – Closed Alpha testing group
about 1 year ago - No comments
Well, it’s been almost a month since I’ve started writing about the humbug project. Now, it’s time to actually get you people involved, at least in the initial levels. We are looking to add 10 additional members into the humbug call analytics suite. Currently available analytics during the alpha testing is inbound call analytics.
Call Analytics – Beyond CDR analysis – Part I
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
“Oh, just get me the CDR’s and I’ll take it from there” – how many times have I heard these words before? I can’t even imagine the number of times in the past 15 years of IT/Telecom’s work that I’ve done and in the last 8 years of Asterisk in particular – when it comes to billing and fraud management, it would appear that the CDR’s are the Rosetta Stone of the industry.
Beyond the dialtone – PBX user experience revisited
about 1 year ago - No comments
When most of us think about PBX systems, we usually associate these with cumbersome usage, confusing dialing codes and in most cases – a PBX system is automatically associated with the annoying task of transferring a call from one handset to another. Lately, I’ve been thinking deeply about how people use PBX systems, is this really the only way to use a PBX system? is there something else to the mix? can we really enrich one of the oldest operational paradigms in the world? – and for that matter, can the public be re-educated to assimilate a new breed of PBX systems or services?
Digium TE205P vs. OpenVox D210P
about 2 years ago - No comments
If there is one thing I like doing is testing hardware, specifically, testing new hardware that is related to Asterisk. I was more than pleased when OpenVox had approached me, asking to review one of their products – specifically after I once announced that I really dislike cheap clone cards. So, I got OpenVox’s D210P card, which is a fairly similar clone to the TE205/TE210 of Digium, and I decided to take a it for a test drive.
I’m not rude, I’m eccentric

Today I got the chance to speak at a Polycom half-day convention, mainly to speak about Asterisk and HDvoice. Now, putting aside the part about HDvoice (I’m getting a post about that on its own), I gotten to the point where I believe that I’m currently perceived as being an eccentric.
