VOIP Rocks

I tested our VOIP link between offices today. I was able to get 12 or so people on the phones in our NYC office connecting through a VPN tunnel to our call manager in our Kingston office. I only had 1 complaint about quality. I need to do a test like that a few more times, but the results look promising.

Keith was out sick today, so I was busy with helpdesk issues. I also have to continue to evaluate our monitoring system to make sure we get notified of any server problem. I think we do a decent job of it now, but whenever anything falls through the cracks it is really bad. Also there is always room for improvement.

I had to spend allot of time reconfiguring VOIP phones today to get our test to work. We are compressing calls, so I needed to associate the phones with the compression scheme we are using. I also had to setup the phone extensions for when our customer service rep’s start using them.

Plenty of other things going on, but my head is not focused right now to remember them all. I will write more later this week.

All in all things are good, and that is all that counts!!!

Migraine Streak Continues

For some unknown reason I am still getting head aches. I was stuck in bed all day sunday with a migraine. I attempted to not take drugs since I was at home, but I ended up taking a bextra and sleeping all day.

Today I also took 2 fureset (butabital). I am hacking the spelling of these drugs! I felt better after taking the drugs today, but if I didn’t I would have a big problem. Butabital is a powerful pain medication. Thankfully I was able to make it through the rest of the day. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better. I will try to goto bed early tonight.
