Life Hacks is a new subsection I’ve created to store and share all those little things that I come across that make my life that tiny bit better.

Cleanup Girl
Bec got up early the other morning and noticed that Bern had cleaned up a bit of the lounge room, so she proceeded to pick up all of her and Liz’s toys and put them away in their respective toyboxes. All this before Bern was out of bed.
Bern also went to clean the kitchen after breakfast, and found that Bec had placed her bowl carefully in the dishwasher next to the other bowls. We didn’t have the heart to tell her that her bowl is plastic and can’t go in the dishwasher…

Asterisk Install
install ubuntu 5.10 as "::server"::
sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.x
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo apt-get install ssh
from other machine ssh to ip address
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list
uncomment the universe repository lines so you have access to more sofware.
sudo apt-get install asterisk
- sudo apt-get install zaptel-source
- sudo apt-get install linux-headers-‘uname -r’
- sudo apt-get build-dep asterisk
- sudo apt-get install gcc3.4
- m-a a-i zaptel
- you need to set an opermode if you live outside of the us so edit /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel (Australia used as example)
install wcfxo /sbin/modprobe –ignore-install wcfxo opermode=AUSTRALIA &::&:: /sbin/ztcfg
install wcfxs /sbin/modprobe –ignore-install wcfxs opermode=AUSTRALIA &::&:: /sbin/ztcfg
install wcfxs /sbin/modprobe –ignore-install wcfxs opermode=AUSTRALIA &::&:: /sbin/ztcfg
- and edit /etc/zaptel.conf (Australia with Module 1-2 FXO and 3-4 FXS used as example)
loadzone = au
defaultzone=au
fxsks=1-2
fxoks=3-4
defaultzone=au
fxsks=1-2
fxoks=3-4
- modprobe zaptel
- modprobe wcfxs (to support the FXO modules)
- modprobe wcfxo (to support the FXS modules)

I started burning a CD the other day on my work Linux box, and got this message: About 1193046 hours 28 minutes 15 seconds left…
and I thought Microsoft time was bad!
It finished burning about 2 minutes later.

Prince2 Project Management Training
I completed 4 days of PRINCE2 Project Management Training on Wednesday, and just got my results in.
PRINCE2 Foundation Examination Mark: 63 out of 75.
The pass Mark was 38, so I was pretty Happy about that!

Podcasting & Podcatching
I’ve become hooked on podcatching recently. Podcasting is where you record a radio type show and make it available for download subscription via RSS. Podcatching is the client to podcasting where you subscribe to a radio show download it to your music player, and listen to it at your convenience. Originally I was using my MP3 player/Voice Recorder/USB Key, but it died recently, so I’ve switched to using my new phone.
I started out by listening to Security Now! and then moved to This Week on Tech (TWIT), diggnation, Inside the Net (ITN), and engadget.
Stay tuned for a podcast from yours truly!

Backpackit – Organisational tool
I stumbled across a link to backpackit (via TWIT), a site which allows you to store ideas, to-dos notes files and photos online. Of course, it’s kind of like a blog, but it has a bunch of really useful back-end web2.0 features that make it really appealing to me. I’m not using it publically, (at least, not yet) but it is a great tool for clearing the mind.
Merlin Mann runs a site called 43Folders which provides "::A bunch of tricks, hacks, and other cool stuff"::.
It has a lot of useful stuff like Jase was talking about in his Organise your home article.
I particularly like Part II as well as Kick procrastination&rsquo::s ass: Run a dash.
