Parental Controls – Wrapping things up
It must have lasted for nearly two weeks. With a few caveats, I found my MacBook to be quite usable with Parental Controls switched on.

My last post touched on getting XCode running for a non-administrator user, using the WorkGroup manager. Unfortunately, it isn’t that easy when the user in question is restricted to a subset of available applications with Parental Controls.

Getting things sorted
I expected that the process of taking away my membership of the Administrator group would lead to problems running some of my applications, I wasn’t wrong. The two applications that I’ve run into problems with so far are Wireshark and XCode.

Ok, so at 2 years old, my daughter isn’t exactly surfing the web yet. But I have been thinking about how we’re going to deal with the safe internet usage thing when she does. More generally, how will we deal with the reasonable amount of time on the computer thing.

So now we have some local extensions, a SIP connection to Pennytel and an IAX trunk to another trixbox. The the magic which ties this all together all happens in extensions.conf
As in my previous posts, I have created a file called extensions_local.conf under /etc/asterisk and included it in my extensions.conf file using
#include extensions_local.conf
This file is broken into a series of sections – called contexts. There should be a section for each “context=” line in the sip_local.conf and iax_local.conf files.

In Part 1 I looked at how to add extensions to an Asterisk configuration. If all went well, we have two extensions 1000 and 1001 which are able to dial each other and not much else

Tools like Asterisk@HOME and FreePBX make the process of configuring an Asterisk box incredibly easy. They have pretty web-based user interfaces, downloadable modules, and generally just make things easy to do.

I’ve been running Asterisk on my desktop for about a year now. A few months ago I acquired two Accton MR3201A‘s configured for OpenMesh using OpenWRT. I finally got around to installing Asterisk on one of them a couple of weeks ago, and this is a record of how I did it.
To give you an idea of the size of the MR3201, her is a picture of one
Yes, that little box really is running a full-blown PABX
Anyway, enough of that, how to set it up

Two days to go before I have to spend 20,000 hours on a plane, and I’m getting a cold. It isn’t The Flu, this is an important distinction. I am not getting the flu.
We went shopping this morning, just some last minute things, Australia/US power adapter and a USB flash card reader. I also got a 4GB SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash card for the DSLR.
And most importantly, a box of Codral Cold & Flu tablets, for the Cold that I’m getting, since I am not getting the Flu.
