Point tj.lg.rc is almost done

Wednesday, May 26th, 2004

Ok it’s been a while i had some action on ReseauCitoyen, but last weekend my i was over at my parents and as good father son bonding we fired up the solder iron and created a power over Ethernet cable for my Node. For now it’s just stuck in front of a window, but when everything is nicely glue’ed together it will be ready for outside placement.

Radio linking picks up in other area’s

Sunday, May 9th, 2004

As we’ve been linking PMR 446 Radio’s to the internet for over a year now, all based on the principle allready being used by HAM radio amature’s for a long time, Jeff Pulver mentioned another idea for radio linking in his blog.

The trucking community’s CB channels 19 or 9 could be inter-linked via VoIP software. like eQSO. Problem here in Europe is that CB VoIP linking is not allowed by regulations, but maybe these things can be changed ?

In some countries (of which belgium is still one) CB isn’t even license free yet!

But Jeff i’m all for it, so if you need any help, just let me know.

A new passion rewarded

Saturday, May 8th, 2004

Since a couple of weeks my son (2 years old) has a passion for helicopters, we have quite a couple fly around in this area every day. As soon as one is flying over he is in front of a window within the blink of an eye.

As it is his birthday tuesday, i went out today to buy him a present. Well what else could i have bought then a toy helicopter…

I now understand that it is one of the most wonderfull moments in life seeing a little guy full of joy when opening his present. Makes me feel a lucky man to have a family.

P.S. Yes indeed we couldn’t wait till tuesday to give him his present :-)

Last week VOIPuser has gone in to public beta.

The website currently offers UK phonenumbers which you can point yourself to any landline destination in a number of countries or, and this is even better, point it to your Voice Over IP SIP phone account (at any sip provider).

As with any beta, errors might occur, but please let us know in the forum if it works for you. Also if it doesn’t please let us know so we can look into fixing it.
