A Job Offered…

October 17, 2008 | 1 Comment

After several interviews I was officially offered a position as a network engineer with the second largest supplier of phones to the hotel market. My job would consist of trouble shooting, writing procedures, and insuring that the phones this company produces will work with all the VoIP servers out there…

The Pay? Well, lets just say that it’s more than I’ve ever made
The Skill Set? In line with what I do on a daily basis, but vastly different at the same time
The Company? Firm, mid-sized with good people from what I can see. It’s defiantly not Big Ear but I supposed there aren’t any places that laid back.
The Hours? Well I could only accept part time work since I have commitments to Big Ear and My own company. In a month or two the hours should start to firm up M-W-F kinda thing.

Any way. Pretty Exciting.

Madhatt.com’s Jabber Chat Server

October 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I have set up a Jabber sever on my OS X Server so that me and my friends can communicate.

But why not just use AIM, ICQ, or the other millions of chat services?

1. Communications are not secure from endpoint to server and visa versa
2. There is no guarantee that our chats won’t A. be read by an employee of the service or B. Stolen by an outside party.

This way we can have safe, reliable, and secure chats between us no matter where we are.

Front Range VoIP taking off!

September 25, 2008 | 2 Comments

Wow, it amazes me how much work I’m getting from Front Range VoIP. I’ve only had the business a little over a month and I have just hit the $2000 gross mark. This may not sound like a lot to some but for me it’s great. I love the thought of making money out of thin air. I also love the fact that I really believe in the products I’m selling and believe they could help most small businesses.

The only thing that stinks is the lack of free time!

Metallica’s Death Magnetic

September 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I just wanted to drop a message out there know that Metallica’s new album is the worst since St. Anger I wish they would just stop getting us all excited, just to put out shit for their fans…

I was going to go to the show in Denver in November but after listening to this new trash I have decided my money would be better spent on, well, anything.

Well, I wish the slow down had to do with being lazy but it’s not!

I’ve been so busy lately running my new company www.frontrangevoip.com that I’ve little to no time to work on this site.

Hopefully I’ll get some biking in this weekend and if so I’ll post some pictures from the trip.
