Create a Queue Manual Call Back script in Asterisk 1.4 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrew Yager   
Tuesday, 22 September 2009
One of the major focuses of my IT company is Voice over IP work, particularly with the open source PBX, Asterisk. Recently, we have had a few customers ask us about customising the asterisk call queue behaviour to do "more". Top on the list of requests is a way to allow customers to leave information, rather than wait on hold, and have this information emailed for a call back at a later time. This is actually more simpler than it sounds, although it does require some careful IVR design, and some poorly documented knowledge of the asterisk queues configuration. This article explains how we did it!

Outlook 2007 Email Autodiscovery with PHP Server PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrew Yager   
Saturday, 13 September 2008
I have recently been doing a lot of work with Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007 clients. They have this wonderful feature called "autodiscovery", which when your exchagne server is correctly configured allows clients to automatically pull all of their settings from the server and just work. Microsoft also introduced autodiscovery for POP3/IMAP and SMTP services. This is great, but when our clients go to set up Outlook it doesn't correctly autodetect the settings required for the mail server. Enter the autodiscover.xml script. We have written a PHP script that dynamically generates the correct autodiscover.xml file based on the clients email address. Read on for more...

Drupal 6 Multistep forms PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrew Yager   
Tuesday, 03 June 2008
I've been trying for the last three or four days to understand how Drupal 6 Multistep forms work. There is a quickstart guide that shows how to write them, but it only deals with two pages, and isn't very extensible. There are a number of examples, but it turns out that these examples are generally wrong and do not work in Drupal 6. So... I sat down to work out how one would write a multistep form, and came up with this working example for Drupal 6.2. It's really basic, but should serve as a reasonable framework for someone else trying to work out what to do. (There is no finishing or submission logic in the form... just a storage engine that holds state).

Web Based SANE scanner script PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrew Yager   
Monday, 08 October 2007

After a bit of discussion on the OSIA list today, I've decided to publish our PHP web based interface to SANE on the web. It's really basic, and scans and displays, but it works :-) And it sucks less than all the other web interfaces for SANE scanning out there.

It's released under the GPL 3.0, and requires SANE front ends and back ends to be working correctly, and a *working* install of ImageMagick. (This does not include the standard distribution with RedHat or CentOS!).

The world of Web 2.0 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrew Yager   
Wednesday, 12 September 2007
Well, it's been a while since I've posted - mostly because I've been busy and caught in the exciting new world of Web 2.0. While Web 2.0 means a lot of things to different people, I've started using FaceBook and YouTube, but perhaps more exciting is my recent discovery of a wealth of digital media available online. I've come to love listening to sermons from Mars Hill Church, Seattle. My Church also has sermons available online. I've just finished putting talks from the recent 21C Leadership Conference online, as well as a fantastic lecture from Rev Prof. Andrew McGowan from the Highlands Theological College, Scottland on the way Christians should interact with the world. Very refreshing stuff.

It's not every day... PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrew Yager   
Friday, 18 May 2007
It's not every day you get to spend enjoying the Hunter Valley at someone else's expense, but today was one of those days for Bess and I. StoneBridge Computing (a division of Real World Technology ) was apparently one of the top AMD resellers in March, and so AMD and one of our suppliers sent us with a handful of other companies to the Scenic Hunter Valley for lunch, some wine tasting and cheese! Even we need to take a break some times...
