First review of my book on Amazon.com
Hi guess it was bound to happen, someone had actually read the book and reviewed it. Amazingly enough, the review was a positive one (I was worried that my book was over simplified). You can read the review here: My AsteriskNOW Book Review
Asterisk Bootcamp Training Israel
As some of you may already know, I’ve been chosen by Digium to perform Asterisk training services here in Israel. For me, as a long time Asterisk community member, it is fairly a big thing, even bigger than the book I’ve written – as it incorporates two of the things I really like – teaching […]
Book alert, Book alert – Highly self promoting here
Ok, I always wanted to write a book – and I finally did it. Thanks to Schuyler Deerman at Digium, who had connected me with Packt Publishing, I’ve written and AsteriskNOW book. My book is basically a quick-start cook-book to get up and running really fast with AsteriskNOW. If you want to build your own […]
Open Source and Open Crooks
As an Open Source consultant and evangelist, I’m sometimes amazed at the sheer GPL violations companies do, in the persuit of an exit. First of all, let us understand that general aspects of utilizing a GPL product: You are FREE to download, use and modify any given source code. In case you re-distribute your modified […]
The world’s fastest Asterisk based Dialer
As most of you already know, I’m heavily involved within the Asterisk Open PBX project. Over the course of the past 5 years of my dealing with Asterisk, Asterisk had always suffered a serious flaw, and that is, a single-threaded Manager interface – which usually led to serious dead-locks when writing a multi-threaded server that […]
Taking a mickey at Osama-Bin Laden
I guess that I always was a sucker for political comedy, and I think this one is really funny. I had this one sent to me on Facebook by and old college friend, Shadi Abu-Ahmed. Shadi and I studied together at the Technion and we were both Open Source evangelists and promoters. The following video […]
Mandriva Flash – THIS THING ROCKS!
Ok, I usually don’t get really excited about distributions, after all, I did spend the last 10 years inside different Linux distros – so getting me excited about something won’t be an easy task. However, this time something took me a little by surprise, mainly, something that comes from a distro that I really used […]
Embedded Linux – Small HTTP Servers – Part I
Over the past week I’ve experimenting with light-weight HTTP servers. The reason for this experimentation is the fact that an embedded linux appliance is just too light weight to handle a full blown Apache server.
Embedded Linux – Part I
I think I’ll start documenting my experiments into the field of embedded Linux devices, as the subject has been taking a portion of my interest lately – and so, I’ve decided to experiment with it. I decided to start off with something really simple, just to get the ropes of how embedded devices actually work […]
PHPAGI Annoyances or maybe…
OK, if there is one thing I really hate, is that when something so little as a small configuration change from one version to another causes things not to function properly. It is one thing to make sure that your code is backward compatible, no one really expects that your scripting language will suddenly start […]
