Newbie converting small island nation, need suggestions

Oh, yeah, completion date is next Tuesday, so could you guys hurry it up?

I gotta look that up. I live in St. Louis, so I have to drive to IL to get my favorite beer (Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA,) but I did stop at a pub over the weekend and had a both a DFH 90 min and a Hazed and Infused, both on draft, that were pretty good. I'd never had the H&I before.

Yes, I'm a hop-head.

Trackpads suck. (That and I have the artistic talent of a llama.)

this deserved a new wiki section http://www.trixbox.org/wiki/Best_of

Apparently the forum strips HTML tagging... Disregard... Sorry... :-(

Try typing with a glove, that always helps me.

Who's bad?

KodaK, I have just spent four hours working on your solution. If you are willing to shell out $1.52 for a used x100P wildcard, plus my usual fee of $0.12/hour, I think you can get this done for $2.00! I am sorry if this exceeds your budget, but I think you need to make the investment since I am sure you will want to offer world wide long free long distance to your 250,000 users.

James at Rhino?

the key to good consulting is anticipation... i actually started before you asked the question!

If so have we bombed them yet? If yes... has Haliburton installed the new fiber optic network yet?

Notice how coy I've been about the actual name of the country? Ever heard of an "undisclosed location?"

I've said too much.

Did I miss something?

I feel like I time warped into a bad episode of the Twilight Zone.

BUUUUUUUUURP! or maybe the scweens gettin' a wee bit blurrwy : )

Don't skimp on hardware. Go with our new server platform...

Who gets all the coconut Milk?

Well that is OLD it only DREAMED of someday seeing a 486
that is a 6502 1 Mhz. box 8 KB ~ 32K of ram (yes that is right KB)

The first time I saw one of those I was just out of high school (summer 1977 / 78 ) I was over in ca. on the San Francisco Peninsula at that time. I got the bug then..Next thing I know I had four or five 8086 / 8088 around the place....

Man the flash backs...ST251...MFM...RLL controller...turn that 44 meg into 60 meg.
A little Jimi on box...

Holy crap finally somebody older than me around here (graduated in 1979)

I was very torn between the PET and a TRS-80. Then I found out about CP/M and the rest was history. I was an S-100 addict until the mid 80's. We ran an 8 line RBBS out of my dorm room in college on a home RS-422 network. Shared a common 5 MB Corvus hard drive. We where always tripping breakers and blowing stuff up.

That was when it was really fun.

skykingoh,

I was looking at the Man in the Mirror and realized that I'm from the Class of '76.

Remember The Time, It's Gone Too Soon. Makes you wanna Scream...2 Bad.

High school was such a Thriller, you just can't Beat It.

Ho hum...another place...another face.

Hey Scott, I think you dropped this:

I love the shaved animal bit up there

i also Graduated High School in 2001 (25)

and now if you get caught with booze you get a free ride to the drink tank and your license pulled for 6 months up here in WI

Hey Hey this a family forum....
How big of a viagra dosage did that take????

After Katrina we had lost the old family homestead to downed Oak trees, when we cleaned out the shed there where boxes of trs80 model 100's / commodore / XT's /PS1 / 2 / 300 baud modems ...parts and software. My folks kept all that crap for all these years. Pops complained they all worked, he just could not toss them.
At 16 I graduated high school a year early, got in my Olds 442 drove off..I left home and all that computer stuff behind for the next 6 years.

OH yea
And the worst thing about Drunk Driving has always been the folks who get hit by the Drunk..
People like ME who got run down by a drunk.... TWICE

March 1983; it took 9 months to re-learn to walk (or I should say shuffle) I still go in for my hip / knees

March 1993; it took 6 months before I could put my arms over my head without passing out from the pain when I put them down.

....Damn Drunks......

So if you want to drink and drive..make sure it is a video game you are driving and not tons of steel, please.....

Why can't any of you just answer the question! This is very important because I was just about to annex a small Island nation myself and this could be very useful. I have reviewed your coconut network design and believe you had forgotten the string to sip converter. Also shouldn't you remove most of the coconut from the shell? It will dampen the transfer of sound to the string. I would also review the string infrastructure to ensure you have the proper category and gage of string. Too stiff a gage will not propagate the sound waves sufficiently and you will need an inline repeater. I hear Monkey Networks has a decent inline chimp repeater. Has any one had success integrating this with trixbox? I think all the quotes to assistance are also way to high. I feel for a project of this magnitude, I should pay you $.10/hour to help. This is open source you know.

Kodak,

I think you are forgetting the very important problem of providing power to your coconut phones and also consider a possible power failure to your system in the event of monsoon. My buddies Giligan and the Professor are working on a prototype POSP switch (Power Over Solar Panel). Should be ready for production as soon as I patch the minnow...also, I'm no expert, but your ID above definitely does not look real to me...but again, I am no expert!

As far as your error, you are definitely being way to specific with information...try to leave out all of those details of the precise problem...geesh....

Kind of a dilemma, eh?

So now it's a crime to take bad pictures, eh?

er

That's my sister, you jerk.

KodaK,

As a peace offering I am willing to let you have access to the technology behind THE MOBILE TRIXBOX SERVER

To help with your island project.

I think this woman may be sleeping with the president. She's always in his office with the doors closed. And the doors are never closed on Small Island Nation.

MARKWHO - is that the new tb mobile appliance that is supposedly under tight lock & key??? I wasnt expecting to see that for at least another 24 months of alpha testing, but now it is clear what they meant by "modules"

Thanks very much to everyone for a very good few minutes of laugh and chuckle. Made my evening - for sure. This should be reprinted and distributed (with permission of course).
