FreePBX – Setting AccountCodes
FreePBX has the capability to set account codes on its calls so that they can be used in CDRs to identify where calls go/comefromt etc. however the only place i could find them used was in the billing module which frankly i have no interest in using. I rather just see which clients are calling.
I found a CALLERID module that does something very similar to what i wanted but in a differnt area… it SET the CID to somethig… I want it to set the ACCOUNT CODE to somethign.
So a little bit of modification i was able to create a setaccountcode module.

CPanel and PHP_FLAG not working
I had an old script that needed to have register_globals enabled. now in general this is a BAD ida but what can you do? No time to rewrite it and its used mostly for internal things.
So how do you enable register_globals for just one user (or even subdomains?).

Windows 7 Home Premium and RDP (Remote Desktop)
DISCLAIMER
Technically you CANNOT install RDP on windows 7 Home Premium, rdp is not in the license agreament for that version of windows 7.
This doesnt mean that you cant install rdp on windows 7 home premium. Following is instructions on how to do this, but it is for informational porposes only and should not be done in a production environement.
Please create a system restore point before using this trick to be on the safer side.
1) Download and extract the ZIP file to obtain all the necessary files required to enable & use the feature.

2) Right click on the install (or install.cmd) file and select Run as administrator. Click “Yes” for the UAC prompt.
3) The script will start in a a command window. Press any key to continue.
Note: If the screen is red you probably did not launch it as ADMINISTRATOR
4) Answer “Y” to “Do you wish to enable multiple sessions per user” question
5) Answer “N” for “Do you wish to enable blank password logon?” question. (although you can answer yes.. but then you allow anyone without a password ot logon to your computer… set a password its safer)
6) After a min or two the script will complete and you will be able to connecto to RDP .
Thanks to untermensch for creating this script.
ZBOX HD-ID11 – Fedora and HDMI Audio
I bought this next gem ion to replace the big computer sitting under the TV in the bedroom. And boy is the foot print on this small. There is a very nice mount that install it right behind the TV (VESA MOUNT) and you dont even know its there, except to turn it on (which cant be done via remote)
I installed Fedora 13 on the box, but had some trouble getting the audio to work on HDMI. Here are the steps to make it work

Fedora 13 – Auto Login without GDM
In my myth frontend I wanted to have the system automaticaly login and start X as a user. With Fedora13 they moved a few things around so its not as easy as it used to be (editing inittab). This method even respawns the processes if terminated and does not use a heavy windows manager like KDE or Gnome.

Android “PhotoVault” and alike
I was looking at a few security application for the Android phone and to date im not very impressed. There are really three category of apps out there in this field.
The first are GOOD applications that provide encryption and security, however they are hard to use for the end user and more for the “ADVANCED” user.
The second is applications that are getting to the point of being end user friendly, and use state of the art technology for SMSing and such.
The last is my favorite. They are apps that are very user friendly and SEEM to do the job you want them to do, but do they?
I came across PHOTO VAULT, a software that well allow you to protect your photos on your phone from prying eyes by password protecting them.
At first i was impressed, but soon i realized it was smoke and mirrors. The application took the “DONT MIND THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN” approach to protect your photos. It simply moved you photo to a different folder, removed the extension and left it there totally unencrypted. Sure non of the APPs would think its a photo, but not quite what i think of when i think of “Private”.
You are not password protecting your photos just the app that moves photos to be visible by the OS. You can always use file managers to rename the photo and make it accessible again.
Guess its up to me to build an app that can actually PROTECT photos..
Stay Tuned for that project!

Even Call Announce Hangs Up On Me
Running several differnt PBX systems in the past (including Nortel) I found that having calls forwarded to your cell phone very helpful. This feature is known as Find me Follow me, and now available on most systems out therem even some standard home-phone systems. It is a life saver for some one on the road.
But it has one huge flaw – VoiceMail. Sure you can program the Find Me Follow Me to pull the call back before it gets picked up after the x ring, so the call never ends up in your cell’s voicemail. But what if you loose reception, or the phone dies. Voicemail kicks in on the FIRST ring!!!
