At the moment I have not yet implemented any new features, I will keep this planned for the next major release, which is scheduled for June 2008.

Edited to add on 2008/06/18: I had to uninstall ISO Recorder because it rendered my disk drive useless. I only could write but never read a CD or [...]

On my German Windows Vista I have a folder called C:\Programme which is basically the translation of C:\Program Files in the English version.

I had a lot of problems with an Asterisk BPX behind NAT. Asterisk dropped all incoming calls after 20 seconds because of an unanswered packet. This is a well known problem when NATing Asterisk, but even Google does not provide any solution. This single problem drove me nuts last friday when I tried all possible [...]

After some problems to get an Asterisk server talking to an Inode Telenode gateway (incoming calls did not work) I tried the following configuration for sip.conf and it worked like a charm:

allowoverlap=no
bindport=5060
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
srvlookup=yes
nat=yes
allow=all
externip=81.223.xxx.yyy
localnet=10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0
register=0999999999:password@px.voip.inode.at
incominglimit=10
and users.conf:
context=DID_trunk_1
dialformat=${EXTEN:1}
canreinvite=yes
hasexten=no
hasiax=no
hassip=yes
host=px.voip.inode.at
port=5060
type=peer
registeriax=no
registersip=yes
secret=password
trunkname=Custom - Telenode
trunkstyle=customvoip
username=0999999999
callerid=0999999999
fromdomain=px.voip.inode.at
contact=0999999999
fromuser=0999999999
allow=alaw
insecure=very
AsteriskNow helps a lot when setting up an Asterisk server and is actually a time saver. Just download the ISO image [...]

This is a little bit of an insider joke ;), but it’s worth reading anyway. Worse Than Failure.
BTW, I recommend WTF for all people in software dev, QA and testing.

When you try to install the latest firefox release on openSUSE 10.2 (before openSUSE offers one), firefox will throw an error like “Installlocation has no properties” in the javascript console. Because of that it is kimpossible to use the installed add-ons and therefore makes no sense to install any new ones.
This can be solved by [...]
