VoIP: Voicemail Notification

Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone had a smart phone?  I'm sure the manufacturers would anyways, but reality rears its head and we find the cost is simply too high.  Sure, unified messaging is a great thing, so long as you're in front of a computer (usually sitting right next to your telephone)... now enter in with voicemail notification (the stop gap to world-wide, smart phone domination).  When you receive a voicemail, the telephone system will literally call you (e.g. on your cell phone), ask you to log into voicemail, and immediately play your new message right over the phone, that's it!

It's been quite difficult to provide this functionality in an Asterisk-based telephone system, until today...

Fast Cars

I like fast cars... alot.  I like two-door, manual shifting, b00sted, fun loving sports cars (trucks/suv's need not apply).  I enjoy driving them, and working on them both! [Editors Note: this is not a petition to 'let me' work on (fix) your car].  I find that fast cars especially can take a good bit of $$$, that is unless you know some place with free/cheap labor... oh wait, that's me: blood, sweat, and tears are free!  Fortunately for me, I find working on [my] cars very fun.  Not only does this add that extra horsepower, but also a.) an understanding of how exactly things work, and b.) a good sense of pride for a job well done.
