Rick wrote a new blog post: Automatic Deadbolt My latest HA gadget arrived and I immediately discarded the installation manuals and dived in! I replaced the front door handleset and deadbolt with a new one made by Morning Industry, Inc. The new handleset is nifty in that one can not only lock and unlock the deadbolt the usual way - by key from the [...]

Rick wrote a new blog post: AstLinux - Blacklist I've tried to blacklist a few annoying numbers by adding them to the AstLinux blacklist, but it didn't seem to work.

Rick wrote a new blog post: AstLinux I've been using Asterisk, the IP PBX software, since shortly after it came out, but for the last few years have been using AstLinux. I like AstLinux because it's able to run on the WRAP or Seokris hardware platforms which have no moving parts and use very little power. These little embedded IP PBXs are [...]
