What Are You Doing Right Now

Good evening, Joy.
-
And this thread just hit 1.8m views!!!! Another milestone!

-
Just finished up a web release. Being on the west coast makes those 6:00 am central pushes at 4:00 am my time and that is no bueno.
-
Good morning to you then!
-
@mlnews well thanks. Good morning to you as well.

Didn't realize how much of a pain setting up a Cisco 7940 with FreePBX would be. But it's done and working.
-
Cisco gear is all designed to be as hard as possible. Expensive and hard to use, never really find upsides to it.
Check out Yealink and Snom.
-
off to argue with the local park district because their website failed last night when trying to register the kids for an event.
-
About to get coffee number one.

I got it really cheap so I figured I would try it. Just didn't realize how much of a pain it would actually be haha.

What's hard about ? Overall I didn't think it was that bad, the Yealink's anyway.

I just found out that SW has been claiming to have been the "original orange" as a direct shot at NTG who uses nearly the same orange - even though NTG was orange before SW was even founded!
-
For those wondering, NTG went Orange and Grey in 2003. SW was formed in 2006. NTG was blue and white (like Nicaragua) from 1999 to 2003.

No simple web interface, generally. It's fine when you are deploying thousands of them, but for SMBs, it's unnecessarily convoluted.

All good phones (meaning I think Cisco are junk) have web interfaces for management.

Did I miss that he was staying Cisco phones are hard to manage, and I was just thinking he was referring to Yeahlink and Snom?

The discussion was about how hard his Cisco was to manage. So I pointed out how nice Yealink and Snom were. Better phones, lower price, easy to manage.
