Sending Exchange & Outlook to the digital trashcan…..
I recently chucked the Exchange / Outlook Fatware combo for Google Apps. And i havent looked back since. Google Apps comes with the best anti spam & anti virus in town, 6 gigs per mailbox (and counting), and is super easy to administer. You can access your mail anywhere and its backed up by Google. No need to worry about a backup mail service or about moving ISP. And its free too. What more can ...
Meaningless Exercise in Ranking VoIP Blogs
Periodically somebody or other publishes their list of blogs focused on VoIP. Originally Jeff Pulver used to publish one which used to be very inclusive. You just have to inform him for your blog to be included in that list…. ...
Martin’s career (a short history of the future)
Age 5: Discover reading. Lots of interesting books to read. Age 10: Discover computers. Lots of interesting programming problems to solve.

EComm 2008 Calling
As I get older and more attached to my comforts, I’ve started to strongly dislike intercontinental business travel. So it’s going to be something special that makes me want to haul my ass over to San Francisco in sardine class without any client paying. I’m going to be speaking at eComm 2008, which takes place on 12-14 March. Buddy Lee Dryburgh is behind it — and there’s a great backstory. Miffed at the shelving of O’Reilly’s ETel, he pawned his kids&#...
Quack, quack, BANG!
Andy ponders the consequences of Skype failng the 911/999 duck test. My take: emergency calling is a property of the LINE and not the SERVICE. It’s the ISP who knows where you are. Pick up your Vonage or Skype phone, move next door to show your neighbours how cool it is, and you shouldn’t have to reregister your address if your host gets a dicky ticker. In other words, why not make 10.9.1.1 always route to a SIP server which offers IP emergency calling? Posted by Martin Geddes at 1...
Painphones
So, Stepma Bell is quitting the payphone business. Let me see: Network of powered, connected, lit refuges in high-footfall areas. And they can’t work out how to make a business from these? I’m having that “let’s sell directory services!” moment all over again.
