Possibly improved method to use Google Voice for free outgoing calls on an Asterisk/FreePBX system (the easy way)

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:14:29 +0000

A few weeks ago I published an article entitled How to use Google Voice for free outgoing calls on an Asterisk/FreePBX system (the easy way) . If you are a regular reader of my blog you know that it’s always a good idea to check the date on an article, and if it’s under a week old, check back in a week because it’s probably going to get edited or corrected in that time! In the case of that particular article, not only were there several edits and corrections, but it turns out that I could have done things just a bit differently and made what some might consider an improvement in the way it works. Now, before you go firing up your keyboard to change your existing setup, let me tell you what is different about the method I am presenting here

EDIT: Unless you are an Asterisk guru, PLEASE SKIP THIS ARTICLE. Something is still not working right. It was working great earlier, then I published this article and went to make a call and now it’s not working again. If you are an Asterisk genius, maybe you can tell me what I am doing wrong, but everyone else should skip this until I can figure out the problem!

Professional Writers Blogs Are More Visible With LMNHP

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 07:22:28 +0000

For those who are following the ongoing SEO testing of the LMNHP approach to blogs , I continue to monitor SERP performances on the four SMM blogs where the LMNHP approach is being adopted. I am constantly amazed by the high rankings that are rapidly achieved by new posts. For critical tests I use Firefox using the Global Search Extension to avoid getting personalized search results.

How to use Google Voice for free outgoing calls on an Asterisk/FreePBX system (the easy way)

There are times I love the Nerd Vittles site – they come up with some interesting and clever ways to use the Asterisk PBX. And then again, every so often, there are times when I actually read their instructions and wonder, “Why are they doing it that way?” It just seems like they are either making things a bit more difficult than they need to be, and/or doing things in a non-standard way that could cause problems down the road when the underlying software is updated. As an example, many Asterisk “all in one” distributions (including PBX in a Flash, the package promoted on the Nerd Vittles site) use both Asterisk and FreePBX as their underlying software. FreePBX in particular has a nasty habit of “breaking” existing installations if you upgrade the FreePBX software and are running anything outside their GUI — even third-party FreePBX modules aren’t safe (if you’re into this stuff, you might have read about the recent brouhaha with the Custom Contexts module — I don’t want to get into that issue in this article, but suffice it to say that if I spoke my mind on the subject, the FreePBX developers probably wouldn’t like me very much). So, when I read the article Tweaking Asterisk for Free Google Voice Calling on the Nerd Vittles site, I thought it was a great idea, but just didn’t care for the way they implemented it.

O’Reilly’s take on Google’s Nexus One

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 04:20:23 +0000

Here’s a nice review of Google’s Nexus One from Tim O’Reilly . While I’m in the neighborhood, here’s another Nexus One review from Walt Mossberg of All Things D. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing one yet, but this device sounds like a great iPhone competitor.

The unavoidable Googlephone is arriving: a Nexus that was lacking between Android and real life.

The widely rumored Gphone hit the news few days ago in the widely commented Android dogfood diet for the holidays post on Google Mobile blog: “We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities, and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe. This means they get to test out a new technology and help improve it.” Many spent few words about this statement and, by reading this post on Zdnet I’ve got too few thoughts about it

Google ponders risky Android solo act

admin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:41:27 +0000

Google employees were given free Nexus One phones at a company party Friday night, and the Internet went into a tizzy . Reports surfaced later in the weekend that this device was the long-awaited Google phone, the company’s answer to Apple’s strategy of controlling the hardware, software, and distribution model with the iPhone , rather than the partner-oriented strategy of developing the guts of the operating system and letting partners each put their own stamp on the finished product

The Google Phone surfaces….the dogfooding starts

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:05:07 +0000

It seems the rumors of an impending Google Phone are true and Google employees have begun dogfooding the new Android smartphone; dogfooding is the process of employees testing and providing feedback (eating your own dogfood). Google employees were Tweeting about the device Friday night and the story has been confirmed by Google and TechCrunch and Engadget dug up a few photo’s which can be found HERE . The device, as rumored previously, is being made by HTC with a lot of input from Google and is running a Snapdragon chip and is ‘very fast’ according to those who have seen it in action. This will be a pure Google phone and will offer a ‘pure’ Google experience as they envision it. It has a large, super-high resolution OLED touchscreen, is thinner than the iPhone, and supposedly will over a voice-to-text feature for dictating emails, etc.
