A nice weekend

Evening people,

Don't have that much to write today really.
Just had a really nice day today with my kid and wife.
We just went downtown, had a coffee on the way down and ended up walking down the marina:


Weather was so nice, around +20.5C and a small wind from time to time.
Just perfect, kind of hate it when its around 28 ->

During the day we had some lunch:



And soon my son can for sure eat espetada with all the teeth he has:

Alot of work but most done.

So tomorrow its Friday.
This week has gone so fast, but have been very busy.
The "voip" gateway is done and now I'm just waiting for the phones to arrive to make the real tests.

I made some iptraf checking on the gateway when I put just one sip adapter behind it without any other traffic.
Made a call out and results after 1 min (open call) it generated ~5200 packages and used about 140-155KBit/sec.
Same the other way around from an outgoing call to the phone it self.

150Kbps if I'm not wrong is a lot for just one voip call?

So what happens if we put 60 phones? Can only say -"For me to find out?!", right?

Well one thing is, the adapter I'm using don't have from what I have checked any setting to change the compression or as well to see/change the codec.
And I bet the phones that will arrive will have at least something like that to change and test with.

With some Google search of what/how skype works that still has ok quality:

Skype uses GIPS codecs. iLBC was created by Global IP Sound (GIPS). Skype is wideband capable. Therefore Skype uses wideband iLBC.

iLBC uses:

Bitrate 13.33 kbps (399 bits, packetized in 50 bytes) for the frame size of 30 ms and 15.2 kbps (303 bits, packetized in 38 bytes) for the frame size of 20 ms.

That is far away from what I have seen.
So yes, for me to find out, next week I hope.

Will 4Mbit link be enough? Will we need to have a redundant PSTN due to unbalanced traffic? If it's not working out, what will be the options?


A lot of questions and more for sure to come.
But at the moment there is a lot of other things to think about as well.

THE FUTURE

And hey, we have a strange bird sitting outside just watching.
Scary and very strange.

What about this?

1+1=4 ?

Yes it is true!
I did not believe it myself.

But now I finally got it.
It took me a while to understand that "simple" calculation but it is possible to get one plus one to be four.

Do you know how?

And now, I won't give you any hints.
It is simple trust me, a bit maybe too simple :)

Maybe not as simple as 1 + 1 = 1 but not far away.

Some changes...

So sitting here a Friday night trying to think how to change this damn blog.
Well since blogger has some nice feat. to change at least the top part easy without spending too much time fucking the blog up even more.

So I made some "ego" picture for my wife and just a simple one for myself to at least have something no one else has right?

So here is "The mind of and IT Coordinator v2.0"


Ah, yes today I got a strange email.
Seems like a friends friend (LOL) have talked about me about what I don't know but he wanted to talk with me about something next week, so will see what that is about.
I don't even know the guy but he told me something in the email that can be something very interesting, depending on one thing.

Else this week has been very busy, a lot of things to check up for the coming PBX.
I just hope the link from Madeira to mainland can handle this.

There is so much things that can fuck this up and I just want to make this onces and for all PERFECT!

NN People!

Yet another weekend is over...

.. and a new week starts.
Looking forward for this week, even if maybe it doesn't have anything yet to give me.
But still I guess there might be.

I ended last week at work with a nice clean reinstalled Windows 2003 server.
This one was the one that got all fucked up in the office some weeks ago and made a terrible mess.
Learning by doing I say.

Well now that server is back online and work now as a DC slave as the other one was before but with some Google and useful books I could easy turn it to master and delegate the control back :)

So this week will be put some effort to do something nice with it.
And empty box is not working :)

and who knows else what will turn up this week? I just hope I get some answers soon.

Now it's bed time :)

A nice weekend.

Well I don't have much to say.
Just can agree with my wife on this post.




EDIT: Just have to add that, the weekend is not over yet :)
