Asterisk, Asterisk, Asterisk

I’ve gotten lots of inquires regarding Asterisk since my presentation two weeks ago. It’s taking up what little free time I have left. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. I love being a phone geek!

Seems that people are getting wise to the benefits of the Asterisk system, and how VoIP can really save them money. More importantly, it can fit their business, rather than the other way around. Why use anything else?

Biodiesel

On my morning commute Friday I passed a large tanker truck with “powered by biodiesel” written on the back. It was owned by a biodiesel company, the name which escapes me now. I thought it was pretty cool running a vehicle on vegetable oil. Today, I got an email from the City of Raleigh’s recycling mailing list with a link to the Greasecar, a kit that will let you burn biodiesel in your your diesel engine.

Like a lot of things, there’s a trick to it. The diesel engine has already be warm in order for it to burn biodiesel. And it only works with mechanically-injected diesel engines. All in all, these are small caveats for the privilege of using essentially free fuel!

Maybe there’s an upside to having a McDonald’s on every corner, after all.
