8ix Zenith Community Edition
True to its name, 8ix Zenith has just gone celestial, leaping bounds and borders to finally become fluid and FREE!
This is the hottest brew: 8ix Zenith Community Edition, flavored with the most essential spices to resolve the daunting boundaries of telephony communications: cost, customization and cliches.
Down with the Cost
No need for a calculator. When we say free, it means F-R-E-E. Just imagine, no gigantic recurring monthly bills, no proprietary license to subscribe in, no hard-nosed i-am-the-only-guy-who-can-troubleshoot-your-system to enlist support for.
Done with Customization
8ix Zenith CE has done that for you. Easy does it with the 8ix Zenith CE web-based management system. As long as you know your numbers and alphabet (and some telephony terms to your advantage), you're all set!
But then, aren't we only limited by our imagination? Adding more features or enhancing some is a sure go. Download 8ix Zenith CE and give it a go. You may also opt to receive updates by joining the 8ix Zenith community.
Deal with the Cliches
| It's here, It's FREE. What are you waiting for? |
When it's free, there has got to be a catch. Well, the catch here is... maybe, we're out of our minds? Are we really risking to compete with the already established telephony solutions provider, but without the golden pricey tags?
In the 8lien world, when ITs FREE, everyone gets to test and taste. The only cliche that never fails.
Are these the same features that your PBX has?
- Unlimited Locals
- VoIP Solution (Voice Over IP gateway)
- Call Conferencing
- IVRS (Interactive Voice Response Service)
- Call Recording
- Call Forward on Busy (Follow Me)
- Voicemail (VM to Email)
- Call Transfer
- Call Waiting
- Call Pick up
- Music on Hold
- Time Condition
- Caller ID
- Ring All
Can it do...
- Backup and Restore
- Outbound and Inbound Management
- User Management
- Customized Voice Prompts
- Echo Cancellation
- PIN Set
- Call Screening and Blacklist
Does it have...
- E-Fax
- Virtual Server
- Paging and Intercom
- Video Conferencing
And if you are not yet technically challenged...
- Extensions Management (IAX/SIP/ZAP)
- SIP, IAX, Analog and Digital Trunking
- Configurable to any Phone Medium
- Flexible Dial Plan
If we didn'make it any hotter, how else can we interest you to try FREE?

Paglaki ko gusto kong Maging Manager, Pero hindi yong Follow-Up Manager...
Naisip ko lang noong bata pa ako. Madalas ay ako ang pinapakolekta ng Mama ko sa kanyang mga pautang sa tindahan. May kodigo pa akong palara ng sigarilyo at gumagamit ng bolpen na madalas ay sinusunog ko pa ang tuktok or parteng panulat nito upang lumabas ang tinta. Palagay ko ay maayos ko namang nagagawa kahit papaano yung inaatas sa akin ng aking mahal na ina.
Ganito siste ko noon, umagang umaga palang tatakbo na ako sa kalye at magbabahay bahay. Nakatsinelas at may dalang plastic ng yelo na nakaipit o nakasukbit sa aking short bilang lagayan baryang nakolekta. Uuwi ako non na may maayos na koleksyon at balita o report kung bakit ang ilang kapitbahay namin ay hindi nakapagbayad. Naaalala ko na ginagawa ko itong aktibidad na ito tuwing sabado at linggo.
May mga pagkakataon na nababawasan ang aking trabaho na ito sa tuwing may mga kapitbahay kami na kusang pumupunta sa tindahan namin at nagbabayad ng kanilang mga pinangakong utang dala ang kanilang kopyang palara at papapirmahan sa mama ko o minsan sa akin na nangangahulugang bayad na sila.
Naalala ko lang itong kwento na ito. Kasi di pa uso ang computer noon. Marahil masasabi ko na mataas pa ang pagkukusa ng mga tao noon at hindi sila “complacent” kung baga may sariling palo. May mga mangilan-ngilan din naman na talagang pasaway at talagang kailangan pang puntahan sa kanilang mga bahay o i-follow-up para lang tumupad sa kanilang mga pangako.... na minsan kung hindi makakatupad..nakakatawang NAGTATAGO TALAGA sila sa kanilang pagkakautang o napakaraming samut saring ALIBI na tila baga naghihiraman sila ng idadahilan linggo linggo.
Dangan kasi ngayon sa modernong panahon, marahil ay hindi nabago lalo pa sa mga usaping trabaho. Namana marahil ng ilang “professional” ang mga ganitong gawi. Magtago o Mag-Alibi. Pero meron din namang nabibilang na nagkukusa at alam ang kanilang mga obligasyon. May ilan naman na tahasang pilit na pinaninindigan kahit i-follow-up o hindi ang patuloy na pagiging pasaway at pag-suway.
Sa mundo kasi ng TRABAHO. Work ikanga sa ingles. Malaki ang pagkakaiba nito sa JOB o sa tagalog, namamasukan.
Sa akin kasing pagkakaunawa, may saysay ang salitang trabaho kapag ito ay tapos at may impact sa mga taong “naratnan” nitong trabahong ginawa mo. Pero ang pagpasok o Job ay pumapasok ka lang dahil may suweldo ka at kailangan mong pakainin ang mga anak mo o di kaya'y magbayad ng upa etcetera, kahit di mo tapos ang iniatang sa iyo, walang pag-aanalisa, de kahon, at kahit walang dating sa iyo ang mga ipinagagawa o proyektong kinasasangkutan mo... ayun kaya ka burnt out o talagang wala ka lang pakialam.
Ano bang mga obserbasyon o rekomendasyon ko sa pag-resolba nito?
Marahil ang “kapaki-pakinabang na Checklist” checklist na nagagamit hindi yung checklist for the sake na may listahan ngunit walang pagmonitor ng mga ito at pagbibigay ng mga resulta.
ang maging “analytical at critical thinker at tunay na problem solver” .
Kaya dapat, maging ganado sa pag-gawa. Sabi nga sa mundo ng mga programmer “hanggang may momentum” laban at wag hahayaang mawala ito harangan man ng sibat. Kasi ito yung pinaka mahirap ibalik pag nawala. Ending..ikaw ang talo. Pero hindi lang sa programming ito, kahit sa anong trabaho, kailangan ng sigla at buhay. Yun bang passionate ka at kahit simpleng gawain lagyan mo ng creativity at innovation... tawag nga namin dito sa 8layer e LIBOG. Pag hindi malibog ang gawa mo e malamang supot.
Ang sa akin, ang realisasyon ko patungkol sa usaping follow-up.
Basta ako ang masasabi ko lang at may kasabihan kaming mga MARA na, “Ang batang nangongolekta ng pautang, Paglaki, ayaw maging follow-up manager.” YUN!

Letter From the CEO: At FOUR We Know There Is MORE.
Time is rather so swift that i got to lift my butt to make way and turn a leaf of another year that has delightedly pass.
Yes, we have just passed our four years of being able to sincerely take on to serve our clients and trade partners and with the determination towards innovation, first among others is ourself and as a team.
Taking on the HAT of an 8lien (what we call an individual 8layer), is never an easy task and not a joke at all. Just imagine, having to be responsible for the business of a client.
But the wacky, fun-filled and all out party last night with our team, joined by our friends, partners, clients and colleagues in the industry shows the other side of our nature when we are not in front of our computers (silent, focused and undisturbed).
At FOUR,
We are still rather young, like a child, learning to ride a bike or shoot the ball in the basket... YET never stopping until we get to ride the bike with no hands or be a basketball pro “ala Kobe Bryant”.
At FOUR,
When we passed THREE, we know what/where we want to be. And growing up now that got pass FOUR, meant that we must know what we need to be, to be who and where we want to be. (magulo ba?, hindi makulit lang.)
At FOUR,
We will focus and aim that each 8lien should live and have our CORE VALUES:
COMPETENCE [complete to compete]
MATURITY [sincerity on maturity]
INNOVATION [masturbation towards innovation]
At FOUR we know there is More;
More to the essence of growing up and that though growing old is inevitable we got to make use of our time and talents wisely.
More of touching lives and making people discern that IT won't work for them, if they won't even care about IT or their work.
More of giving of who we are through our innovative ways, whether it be solutions or just plainly talking to you about what Open Source Advocacy can do for you or your organization.
More to life than just gadgets and computers, that IT is made up of people (flesh, blood, thinking and feeling), who wants IT to work for you.
Let me share with you some exciting and notable things that happened too as we got to 4:
-Introduced IBM Lotus Foundation in the Philippines and our Kuya Rey Got his certification on IBM DB2.
-Software Freedom and Evangelized Linux and Opensource in the Philippines with PLDT and URSolution
-Personally met the founder of Digium and the Creator of Asterisk at during the Asterconference in Malaysia. (brought home 2 E1 cards as well from the raffle)
-Rebootcamp and Zambales-bonding experience and strategized /understand SWOT towards our Fully Meshed Topology
-Finalist on Phil Web Awards and One of our government projects via PLDT Snap won the Peoples Choice Award.
-Continuously contribute some of our software to FOSS community ; Charozt,Mail8 and Clix
-We got a new Pearl Drumset for our Music Room
-We were joined by one of the Hard Core Linux Enthusiast and Advocate as a Senior Programmer and part of our RND Team. He aims to promote Open Source in our Country and imbibed in him to be an Innovator and not just as a User as well.
At FOUR there is MORE and we will Keep 'Em Coming...

Introducing Lotus Foundations Start 1.1 & Lotus Foundations Branch Office 1.1
Lotus Foundations Start 1.1 offers a variety of enhancements and upgrades from Start 1.0 including:
Lotus Foundations Run
The Lotus Foundations Run feature provides support for running additional types of applications. Lotus Foundations Run includes support for VMware Server 2 so that customers can protect their existing appliance investment with an experience that is superior to running applications on their native operating environment. Customers will benefit from the stability of a Linux-based system while enjoying the ability to support the wide array of applications irrespective of operating system. Separately available at no charge to business partners is the VMware Server 2 Add-on for IBM Lotus Foundations Run which includes a one-click installation of VMware Server 2 for Lotus Foundations.
Lotus Foundations scalable services
Many enterprises have small teams in remote offices and don’t have the same IT resources to manage those environments. These remote offices still require comprehensive infrastructure and collaboration solutions to stay connected to the central office, and more importantly, cost effective solutions so they can stay in business. IBM Lotus Foundations scalable services provides support for distributed deployment of Lotus Foundations Start. Scalable services introduce the ability for multiple Lotus Foundations servers to span across the organization both logically and geographically in order to meet the varying needs of the different segments of the business. They do this by introducing a centralized hierarchical management of the Lotus Foundations servers to provide the overall ease of deployment and administration.
Intelligent disk backup (idb) enhancements
Enhanced idb features include:
* Multi-job support
* Quotas on jobs
* Local encrypted jobs
* Weekly/Monthly backup frequencies
* Data retention (i.e., ability to set threshold for data retention)
* Enhanced user interface
* Ability to suspend jobs
New versions of software
* Lotus Domino 8.5
* Lotus Notes 8.5
* Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook (DAMO) 8.0.2
* Lotus Symphony 1.2
User interface enhancements
* New user interface enhancements include:
* A new backup page with localization of dates/numbers
* A new tabbed layout providing easier navigation
* © Copyright IBM Corp. 2009 1
* Login error messages are now larger and appear in red
Additional languages supported
* Russian
* Polish
* Greek
* Czechoslovakian
* Hungarian
* Portuguese
* Turkish
Lotus Foundations Branch Office 1.1
Lotus Foundations Branch Office is designed to be used by a branch office location connected into an existing primary Domino Enterprise server for the purpose of local replication and sending and receiving email and other Lotus Domino features. It is assumed that you already have a configured Domino Enterprise server capable of interacting with secondary Domino servers and that you have full administrative access to the infrastructure that you are working with. A strong understanding of the Domino software and administration is essential for ensuring a successful installation of the software. Lotus Foundations Branch Office contains a Lotus Domino server that may be used like any other Lotus Domino server, but there are some Lotus Foundations Branch Office licensing differences:
* It must be used as a "spoke" within an existing Domino Enterprise server "hub and spoke" infrastructure
* It must connect into a hub that is a Domino Enterprise Server or IBM Lotus Domino Messaging Server It can be used with up to 500 users You cannot use clustering with the Lotus Foundations Branch Office server
* It does not include bundled packages normally included in other Lotus Domino® packages, such as IBM® WebSphere® Application Server, IBM WebSphere Portal Server, IBM Tivoli® Directory Integrator, or IBM DB2® Enterprise Edition packages

usaping trabaho: ang mga problema at mga solusyon
USAPANG ASTERISK:
Kahapon kasi, matapos kong idownload ang HTML version ng 2nd Edition ng TFOT at gamit ang wget command.
wget -mk -np http://astbook.asteriskdocs.org/en/2nd_Edition/
naligaw ako sa website ng digium. tapos binasa ko yung timatawag na "culture" nila.
eto quote ko lang: "Digium employees find an added joy in their work knowing that they are pioneering this revolution. The Digium offices are filled with innovative problem-solvers in every department, not just in engineering, because fresh thought has been key to Digium's success from the very beginning"
http://www.digium.com/en/company/careers/culture.php
Ewan ko ba? wala naman akong experience mag work sa kanila. kung baga yung asterisk project lang nila ang madalas kong nalalaro at yung mga TDM card at yung digital card nila na nandito sa office. pero sobra kong nararamdaman yung kultura na ikinukwento nila. sa totoo kasi, ganun din kasi ang isa sa pinangarap kong kultura. kulturang hindi ko sasabihing solusyon na sumali ako sa mala digium na kumpanya...kung baga, dapat may ganung kultura sa ating bansa. bansang tumatawag nilang "developing nation". ngunit kayang sabihin higit sa lahat e "PROBLEM SOLVER" kami..mga hinayupak kayo!
OO. kulturang kung saan mataas yung tinatawag na pagiging "problem solver".
ANG PERSONAL NA OBSERBASYON AT KOMENTO:
Madami dami kasing mga kumpanya na nadaanan ko at naranasan ko na ding magtayo ng kumpanya dati bago pa itong 8layertech-opensource architect na tinatawag ko. madalas-dalas, madaming nakakaalam ng usapin o isyung kumpanya.
1. may mga talagang nag-aalisan dahil hindi daw gusto ang management o yung mga kasama.
2. umaalis dahil hindi daw sila bayad o kulang ang bayad.
3. umalis kasi masarap na magtrabaho daw sa ibang bansa.
4. may mga tinutungtungan ang mga kalakasan o minsan kahinaan para wag ng maging parte ng solusyon.
5.at madami pang dahilan o kadahilanan.
sa madaling sabi,ganun kasimple ang pag-solve ng problema para sa kanila.
madalas ang nakikita kong parte ng mga solusyon na ay may nagrereklamo,sumasagot at nagpapaliwanag...ito ang mga lagi unang-una sa listahan sa pangangatuwiran kung bat may prolema... at don lamang iikot yon. Paikot-ikot.
may mga nakikita din akong ALAM NA ALAM "DAW" NILA ANG PROBLEMA.
kaya ngang isulat sa sampung pahina ng yellow paper ang rationale o kung san nanggaling ang isyu o problema.
ngunit tsatsamba ka talaga, sa iilan na aalamin at gagawa ng SOLUSYON.
at sobrang wala sa sampung daliri ko ang naiintidihan ang pagganap o pag-gawa sa tinatawag na "AGARANG" SOLUSYON.
Pahabol para sa mga madaming Pulikito: PARA SA INYO DIN ITO...kayo pa..kayo nga ang una sa listahan ng mga ganitong sitwasyon.
ang nakakaalam ng problema, ngunit huli o wala sa pag-aksyon ng problema. PERO ALAM na ALAM NYO ang problema...(di kahit kailan mawawala sa inyo ito, kaya nga kayo tumakbo at nagpahalal e)
magaling daw tayong mga Pilipino sa planuhan, mahabang usapan at planuhan ulit... pero pag aksyon at resulta na, nabubura na ang mga tinta sa planong naisulat.
ako alam ko ang problema ko ngayon... alam ko rin ang solusyon... aaksyonan ko na lang... bahala ng magalit sila o sumama ang loob sa akin... ang mahalaga di ko lang alam ang problema, parte ako ng solusyon...
may mga natutunan nga ako sa mga usaping matatanda: sa isang problema, napakadaming pwedeng solusyon. ngunit isa ang pinaka "THE BEST" na solusyon at diskarte...kung ano ito???....ay "ANG MAGING PARTE KA NG SOLUSYON".
basta laging tatandaan..ang pinakamasakit na nangyayari sa atin at sa ating organisasyon o samahan eh, yung di ka na nga naging parte na solusyon...naging problema ka pa....sa madaling sabi..puro ka isip....at ubos oras. pero iyon pala ay "WALA..WALA..WALA".

PINAGSAMA-SAMA
http://r3d3ye.blogspot.com/2009/03/pinagsama-sama-sa-mga-sama-sama.html
Eto't nais kong ishare yung nagawa namin ilang oras palang ang nakakalipas. para ito sa isang kanta na nais naming maisama sa album na ilalabas ng aming grupong DEKADA. ang tawag ko nga dito ay PAHABOL (huli man daw at magaling...tiyak magaling pa din)
kagabi kasi, matapos ang pagrerecord namin sa TRACKS, kumain kami nila Lito at Deng sa TEN02 sa timog at medyo naisingit namin sa kwentuhan yung tula na nagawa ko...tapos napagkasunduan na din namin na magandang maisama ito sa album bilang SUMMARY ng mga kanta. kaya eto't mainit init pa.
eto na marahil yung final draft ng lyrics (may melody na din ito...abangan nyo nalang =))
Pamagat:PINAGSAMA-SAMA

oh-oh-oh
nakarinig ka na ba? ng tila inuulit-ulit?
paulit ulit na katha
iyong pakingan upang masulit
halikat makisali na,eto ang isang pampagana..
ikaw ba ay puno ng DUDA? (duda ka ng duda)
wag magpadala sa SABI NILA (sabi nila)
alam mo nalang ikaw ang kanyang (MSI)
minamahal, sinisinta at iniibig pa.
oh-oh-oh
e wag ka ng magtaka (kasi KUMPLIKADO)
pag may LQ o umabot sa DINA
OK LANG YAN? pag-daraanan
basta't may LEKSYON dapat ay solb na.
oh-oh-oh
o nadinig mo na?
halinat subukan na.ulit ilitin pa
mga salitang inuulit,ulit
okay lang na ulit ulitin pa
ikaw ay mahe-HELE,sa pagkakahimbing
at sa iyong paggising pangamba mo'y tila nawala.
WALA NA..WALA....
at tayo'y mag-KAPAY na muna.
oh-oh-oh
o nadinig mo na?
halinat subukan na
mga salitang inuulit,ulit
okay lang na ulit ulitin pa
okay lang na ulit ulitin,ulit ulitin
ulit ulitin...at tayo ng ulit ulit pa....

nang magkita ang makakapal ang APUG
Sa mga tunay at lantay na MAKAKAPAL ang APUG.
Isang masigabong, dumadagundong at maigting na BAGSAK sa ating pagkikita, pagpapalitan ng makabuluhang kuru-kuro at siempre pa kasabay ng San Mig Light sa kabila ng ating kani-kaniyang buhay at pagka-aligaga. whew....!!!
In behalf of 8layer, we are so happy that finally we have met face to face and shared our experiences, in and out of our common bond, The ASTERISK.
Our hats off to all of us who were there... Especially sa founder ng APUG na si Mark Q.
And to those who didnt have the time to be there but wanted to be... we can understand... Pero sige na nga di na ako magpapaka plastik, mamatay kayo sa inggit... hehehe...
More than excitement, we had fun and it was blast. More than seeing and meeting new faces, we saw smiles and "cute faces"... More than sharing, we got home filled with new learning and keeping up to share, everyday of our lives - the spirit of Open Source...
OEAN ( O e ano ngayon) na nagkita-kita na tayo...
This only means that more than our willingness to be there and be part of APUG... is our rooted want to collaborate and be abreast of what could come up or what could transpire, being part of this forum or group - that being said, seemingly is wanting to burst out from within us.
Being part of this group, i share with you the challenge that rest ahead of us... so what's next?
I shall be there to support our young and vibrant founder, Mark Q and be there to foster amongst us the spirit of true camaraderie and collaboration... instill in us the true advocacy of why are we called Open Source Practitioners... This may be a privilege for us who are skilled and knowledgeable, but for us, for me most especially, this is a battle cry and a bigger responsibility that necessitates maturity and proper perspective put to action.
Pero sa huli... isa lang ang dapat nating isipin... walang katuturan lahat yan... kung di tayo feel good after a hard days work and earned not only for oneself but for others... at kung walang lalaguking isang bote ng beer.
Mabuhay ang lahat ng MAKAKAPAL ang APUG.
Mas MAKAPAL Mas MAGALING Mas MASAYA.
pahabol: eto nga pala ang katunayan at katibayan ng ating pagkikita.
http://picasaweb.google.com.ph/mbmara/APUG?feat=directlink
ulitin natin ito...

PINAGSAMA-SAMA- sa mga sama sama
Sa FB, naging usapin lang ang aming Bandang Dekada, medyo nararamdaman ko na din kasi ang nalalapit na paglabas ng album namin na bunga ng mga pinagsasamang malilikot na isipan at pagmamahal sa larangan ng musika.
ANG NAGDINGAS:
sinimulan kasi ni jaja sa kanyang FB ang "Bukas bibilin mo na to... MSI!"
hanggang sa mag komento itong si CHOX na isa sa mga matutuwa kang makasama sa mundo na musika (o chox binubugaw na kita...) hehehe.
ANG PINAGMULAN NG KATAS:
eto yung kanyang (choxla) komento...
narinig ko lang yung DUDA pero walang DUDA!!! Napakaganda ng DUDA!!! sabi nga ng aking Minamahal, Sinisinta at Iniibig, kapag naririnig nya yung mga kanta ng DEKADA, ay para daw syang hineHELE sa ganda.. sabi ko naman OK LANG YAN kasi WALA NA ngayong magagandang kanta kaya sabi ko punta nalang kami ng KAPAY at doon magpalipas ng oras sa pakikinig ng kantang DEKADA. kaso sabi nya, DINA!!! Aba!! muntik pa kaming mag LQ!! kaya sa ngayon, medyo KUMPLIKADO ang aming sitwasyon. isang LEKSYON ang aking natutunan na dapat hindi kayo makikinig sa mga sabi-SABI NILA dahil WALA NAmang mangyayari eh..
teka, asan ako?? hahaha...
oha oha oha!!!
upang maibsan ang pagkainip eto't sa harapan ulit ng aking UBUNTU na bagong install lang ang COMPIZ at gedit 2.24.2 katabi ang isang basong CAFE MOCHA eto't nasubukan ko tuloy gumawa ng isang tula patungkol sa komento na ito ni Chox na dahil na din sa pag-gatong nitong si Deng.
isa pa,tamang tama din kasi na naghihintay kami ng aming ka-meeting dito sa BO's. para sa isang client na nangangailangan ng 8ix na product namin.
ANG NABUONG "SUBOK" NA TULANG NAISULAT:

lugar ng pinaggawaan: BO's coffee
mga kasama sa kapihan: si rosa,deng at willie
araw at oras ng pag-gawa: Marso 13,2009,4:26pm
oh,nakarinig ka na ba?

marahil sa pangungusap
o mga lipol ng letra
eto't makinig ka
ibibirit ko lang muna.
DUDA..duda..yang ang sabi,SABI NILA.
para sa Minamahal,Sinisinta at Iniibig pa.
kahit may LQ o maging KUMPLIKADO pa
OK LANG YAN, basta may LEKSYON solve na.
o nadinig mo na?
halinat subukan na.
mga salitang inuulit,
okay lang na ulit ulitin pa
ikaw ay mahe-HELE, o kahit sa tingin mo ay DINA
sa iyong pagtatanong ng TAYO NA BA?
nalilito at ano ba ka? wala...WALA NA.
kaya tara na,tena sa KAPAY na muna.
o nadinig mo na?
halinat subukan na.
mga salitang inuulit,
okay lang na ulit ulitin pa
===========
Unang version palang ito na maaaring mabago pa ang mga letra sa susunod na mga araw.
or pwede ding maging Kanta ulit..malay natin.
basta sa ngayon ang mahalaga ay may napaglagakan ako ng aking mga patay na oras sa aking pagkainip.
hanggang sa muli =)

wala sa hulog
natuwa lang ako,dahil sa matagal tagal din namin hindi nakakausap ulit itong Sir namin na ito.
isa pa ay ganitong mga klaseng tema ng mga aktibidades ang feeling ko eh relax ako.
-biglaan na meeting ngunit may temang technical
-may masasarap na pag-kain =) salamat sir gerry sa lunch!
-at nag de-define yung next steps patungkol sa project
-may bonus pang mga kwentong na singit at kulitan.
KASALUKUYANG SULIRANIN:
Sa araw kasi na ito, ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko at masakit ang ulo ko. Sa madaling sabi,malinaw na wala ako sa hulog ngayon.
Dagdagan pa natin na yung personal na "external driv"e ko na seagate na 320GB ay tuluyan ng nagloko o nasira na. (sinisubukan ko pa ding marecover). dagdagan pa natin ang ilang client at partner kuno na tila di makaintindi ng salitang "simple" at patuloy na umaaksaya ng aming oras na alam naman nilang hindi namin afford ang mga ganun. buti nalang sa parteng ito eh mahaba ang pisi na naibalato ng aking Ina at naituro para maging sandata sa mga ganitong pag-kakataon.
PANG-ALIW NA GAWAIN:
kaya eto,tutal alasais na ng hapon naiisip ko nalang ayusin ang subwoofer ng aking lenovo y510 na may ubuntu na OS.
#vim /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
tapos inilagay ko lang sa huli ng file ito,tapos save at restart ng ubuntu:
options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-ms7195-dig
ANG TULA:
naisip ko na din sumulat ng maliit na tula na syang pangako ko sa aking sarili sa tuwing nakakaramdam ako ng mga ganitong sitwasyong hindi ako makapanilawa. (yung ibang tula ko sa notebook,minsan sa laptop ko nalang isinusulat)
Wala sa hulog

sa harap ng laptop,sa aking mesa sa opis. na walang aircon ngayon. este kahapon pa!
timpladang tablado
nadaramang walang bago
sa tuwing may maling abiso
nawawala sa wisyo
nag-aaliw sa musika
nag-iisip ng timplada
katulong ang teknolohiya
alam kong babawi na
mga taong masiba
patuloy na mang-gigiba
sa kanila lahat ay wala
basta ikaw ay maluma
nag-aaliw sa tula
sakit ay tila bula
darating ang hiwaga
kahit sa hulog ay wala

SPA400 at TRIXBOX para sa aking laruang MeetMe
sa aking masusing pagsisiguro na ito ay gumagana, pag sa loob ng local network via iax or sip walang problema at lahat naman ay malinaw na natatangap at nasimulate ng maayos na masayang napagana ko naman lahat ng mga kailangan kong mapagana.
Para sa mga dagdag features na naiisip namin, ito ay na i-shinare ko nalang kay Byran upang magtuloy tuloy ang development ng laruang ito.
Ngayon kailangan namang maitest ay yung galing sa PSTN line papuntang “meetme” na misc app ko para sa aking conferencing requirements. Ang problema, wala na akong FXO card. Buti nalang at naisip ko yung aking SPA400 na syang gamit ko noong nagaaral ako ng asterisk/SIP trunking. Eto at nilabas ko/pinakuha ko kay Roz sa aming lumang baul para magamit sa testing na ito.
Nais ko lang ishare yung configuration nito upang maging reference ng ibang mga tao/trixbox users/spa400 users na nasa ganitong sitwasyon din:
sa SPA400
1. I set-up lang yung SPA9000 Interface.
User ID: spa400
2.sa may “STATIC ADDRESS” dito itutok yung IP address ng intong trixbox
IP Address: 192.168.69.131 <--SIP Server
Port: 5060
3. Save, reboot the SPA400
Thats it, hindi nakailangan gumalaw pa ng ibang configuration at ang susunod ay isetup naman ang inyong trixbox.
sa Trixbox (ang version na ginagamit ko ngayon ay 2.6.2.2 )
1.Kailangan gumawa ng SIP trunk
click TRUNKS->Add SIP trunk
Maximum Channels: 4
Trunk Name: spa400
PEER Details:
allow=ulaw
canreinvite=no
context=from-trunk
dtmfmode=rfc2833
host=192.168.69.199
insecure=very
type=peer
user=spa400
Incoming Settings User Context : (Blank)
User Details (Blank)
Register String: spa400@192.168.69.199/spa400
tapos lahat ng ibang fields ay hayaan na at wag ng pakialaman =)
tapos syempre click sumbit changes->apply configuration changes-> continue with reload
2.Iconfigure naman ang Inbound Route
click Inbound Routes->AddIcoming Route
Description: spa400
DID Number spa400
Set Destination:
yung sa akin ay CUSTOM DESTINATION: meetme
click ->submit->apply configuration changes-> continue with reload
muli: lahat ng ibang fields ay hayaan na at wag ng pakialaman =)
3.Iconfigure naman ang Outbound Route
click Outbound Routes->0 9_outside
sa may trunk sequence piliin lang ang "SIP/spa400"
muli: lahat ng ibang fields ay hayaan na at wag ng pakialaman =)
click submit -> apply configuration changes-> continue with reload
tapos..tapos na! Kailangan nalang may malaman o masirugado kung nagkikita yung SPA400 at ang trixbox bago magsimulang mag test ng mga calls or ng conferencing.
Magagawa ito sa pamamagitan ng asterisk console.
Matapos kong magawa ang mga madadaling steps o hakbang na ito! Eto at matagumpay ko na na nagawa ang aking simulation at paglalaro ng akong MeetMe server, mapa local man o tawag mula sa PSTN.

MABUHAY ANG MGA MAGNANAKAW
Ikalabing apat na araw ng pebrero. Araw ng mga puso. Araw ng pambansang paglindol sa buong kapuluan ng mundo.
Bigla lang ngayon ay tila bagang paulit ulit na kumakanta sa aking isipan ang “MAGKABILAAN” ni manong Joey Ayala!
ang katotohanan ay may dalawang mukha
ang tama sa iyo ay mali sa tingin ng iba....
...bulok na ang haligi ng ating lipunan
matibay ang pananalig na ito'y palitan
suriin mong mabuti ang iyong paninindigan
pagka’t magkabilaan ang mundo...
kung bakit ganito,marahil ay sariwa pa ang mga kaganapan sa pagtawid ng oras mula kagabi hanggang kaninang madaling araw. Na ISNATCH ang iPhone ni jaja at aking mataimtim na sinubaybayan ang mga pangyayari bago magbukang liwayway at ito ang aking pa-iling na masasabi.
NAKAKALUNGKOT, NAKAKABAGABAG ang masaksihan ang isa sa sakit sa lipunan “ang makuyog ng mga haligi ng lipunan (magulang,tanod at kapulisan) ang isang malinis na hangarin para sa magandang kinabukasan ng isang batang paslit na tila lulong at aral na sa sindikato na kanyang kinasasadlakan.
Nakakalungkot dahil tila baga ang solusyon ay di na magiging solusyon dahil sa wala tapang at tikas ng batas at kumokonti nalang ang mga taong nagmamalasakit.
Nakakabagabag dahil sa hindi pagtugon ng mga alagad ng batas sa kanilang mga tungkulin ay nagiging pabata na ng pabata ang mga taong sumasali sa pagpapalala ng cancer ng lipunan. Kaya ano pa nga ba ang magagawa natin? minsan ay UMILING na lamang. Tapos bigla mo pang matutuklasan na may tinatawag na “INTERNAL SYSTEM” na sa aking pakiwari ay isa itong kinareer na sistema mula sa mga mundo ng magnanakaw. pinagsanib pwersa ng mga sindikato,mga tanod at mga alagad ng batas na sa HULI ay mapapawalang bisa sa mga KARAPATANG PANTAO at pag patay sa PAGSAGIP ng naghihingalong bayan natin. Na kulang nalang ay ISISIGAW MO NA ANG “MABUHAY ANG MGA MAGNANAKAW” mabuhay at nalinlang nyo kami at hindi na namin alam ang dapat na lapitan sa panahon ng panganib at kapahamakan.
Hindi sapat ang nakuha namin ang iphone. Pero sigurado ako, HINDI AKO MAGUGULAT kung dadami ang mga pabata ng pabatang snatcher sa kalye at malagay sa panganib at mga nakakarami dahil sa nagtatrabaho at trinabahong pagnanakaw sa kapayapaan at kapanatagan.
