Asterisk: wrong callerid when doing an attended transfer

Geplaatst door Roy de Boer op 5 December 2009

Envision the following situation:

• Alice calls Infi to speak to Charles.
• Bob at Infi answers the telephone and transfers the call to Charles.
• Charles notices the phone ringing, sees Bob's Caller ID and picks up the phone informally ('Hi Bob!'). Bob informs Charles that Alice wants to speak to him.
• Bob hangs up the telephone and Alice can speak to Charles.

A Cocoa GUI for pwgen

Geplaatst door Wietse Venema op 3 December 2009

Here at INFI we have a philosophy similar to Google’s 20 percent time. Employees are allowed to take a certain percentage of their time, during work hours, to work on anything we are passionate about. We use the time to build something new or learn about new cool technologies. Most things we learn we then share with our colleagues or on this blog. Last week, I took some time to learn Objective C 2.0 and get to know XCode and Cocoa.  I created a Cocoa GUI for the popular utility pwgen.

Java implicit widening and narrowing conversions before autoboxing

Geplaatst door Daniel B. Roy op 2 December 2009

Just for fun, and to add several extra capitals to the end of my name, I decided to take the Sun Certified Java Programmer exam recently. I used this book to prepare which gets a BIG thumbs up. If you already know how to program and want a book that covers all topics, but can also double as a general reference work, this is your best choice. Being used to the extremely low standard of most MSPress exam prep books, this was a refreshingly intelligent and complete book, with some very challenging questions. Having studied the book, the exam was a breeze.

Backup retention script

Geplaatst door Roy de Boer op 5 October 2009

Rsync (in combination with hardlinked snapshots) is a very nice way to backup linux servers. I’m not going to explain how to script things, there are already enough sites doing this, see for example this site. Because corruption and accidental file removes can occur at any time, also 1 second before the file is written to the backup, it is important to keep more than one backup. Furthermore, it can take a while before corruption is noticed: days, weeks or even months.
