Busy Mode On!

I've been a bit busy lately. There are at least 3 projects I should manage to work on. In one project I become a Project Manager (technical side also), and in the other two I join as a member. So in the second half of 2009 I already fully booked ;)

The project that I act as a project manager is development of 3 crisis center/emergency operation center in 3 provinces in Indonesia. I should prepare our engineer to install asterisk, heartbeat and working with programmer to prepare some GIS and database software for the center. Sound interesting.

In the second project, I join with some experts in education to prepare a design of e-learning system for education quality enhancement for elementary and junior-high schools in one province in Indonesia.

In the last project I should help a team of programmer to prepare the infrastructure for customize service for a new GSM handset type that will be launched in Indonesia at the Q3 of this year.

Maybe you will not see many articles in this blog or in my other blog for the next couple of months. I promise to use my free time to write anything and hope I can put in in my blog later on.

Have a lot of fun!

Prejudice and Privilege

Notes : It is not about Linux or other geeky stuff nor it is a political writing.  It was a day in the end of March 2007. I was just landed at the Franz Josef Strauss Munich Airport  around 10 AM in the morning. I had 5 days free time from my work in Astrium. At that time I was contracted by EADS Astrium  (now become Airbus Defense and Space) to work with them in Toulouse . I worked for one of their project. I flew from Toulouse where I worked to visit my brother family in Munich. Just after I picked up my luggage from the conveyor, three guys without uniform approaching me and asked me in English what i'm doing in Munich. I asked them if I did anything wrong. One of them told me that it was a random checked.     "Who are you guys? Sorry sir if it is a random check, why do you choose me instead of other?" I reply to their answer.  One of them said they're from the Munich immigration, and at the same time showing a gun behind his jacket. For my itinerar...

Asterisk 1.6.1 on openSUSE 11.1 (Part 1)

In several articles from this one, I will share some of my experience in preparing emergency operation center for disaster management in Indonesia. One of the software we implement in this project is Asterisk. I use Asterisk 1.6.1.5 from openSUSE repository. Actually I built a custom 64 bit appliance using KDE 4.3 from factory repositories through SUSE Studio and took Asterisk from openSUSE Build Service repositories. Well, it was a couple years ago (by the time I submit this post), but I believe it still useful for anyone learning Asterisk :-) I also used DAHDI (Digium Asterisk Hardware Device Interface), but during the implementation I have a problem with Indonesia PSTN telephone signaling so I should download dahdi trunk version from digium subversion server to make the digium card works. Here are the hardware I use: 2 HP tower based server with 8 GB memory (it is overkill actually, but the owner insist it) running in high availability. See the pictures here and here . 10 PS...

Asterisk 1.6.1 on openSUSE 11.1 (Part 2)

In this second part I will explain step-by-step configuration to use our appliance to build an Asterisk PABX server. Without further ado, here is the list: Install the Digium card on the PCI slot Install our appliance. You can also use any linux distribution, download asterisk from its website and install it. There are several softwares I forget when I made the appliance, it is not the mandatory (dependencies) but they are useful when we want to use asterisk optimally. They are: mpg123, sox, libmad, and festival. The easiest way to install it in openSUSE is using zypper. Check it first where they reside in repositories and add the repositories accordingly. mpg123 and sox are in the packman repositoriy, libmad in OBS (please check with webpin) and festival in oss. Then as root run: "zypper install mpg123 sox libmad0 festival". It is always useful to update your installation to update repository, to make sure that all the security update is up to date. Download the ...
