Pointless
Status update:
i have finally deployed some much needed updates as well as some resource restructuring of my hosted system. i broke a few things (php-curl), i fixed a few things (wordpress plugins). For the first time in ages, i am looking forward to my AWS bill. AND. . . i may actually be federated.
My final visit to the Encino Avenue bridge.
After reading of its impending destruction, i was hoping to pay the Encino Avenue pedestrian overpass a final visit. Unfortunately visits were discouraged. The messaging was a bit mixed, as the fence was literally tied up with string. i took pictures without trespassing. The 101 will shutdown between White Oak and Burbank over the weekend for the bridge’s demolition.


Adding some color to my blog…
What do you think? I am using the Format options of this theme.
Cleaning out my office I found an ancient Asterisk Box!
Originally my router/PBX this Dell P4 was installed with some of the earliest Digium PCI analogue cards. This card supported both FXS and FXO modules, and i used them both in various configurations. One of the FXS modules is what allowed my housemate’s old rotary phone to connect to the house phone system. I loved testing the system by ringing his phone. The ringing of its actual bell, was a delight. That dell survived the infamous flood (by already being decommissioned). I think I paid over $200 for this card alone. Now i run Asterisk off my Raspberry Pi with a total hardware cost considerably less than that.
