This is dedicated to all the hackers and the crackers, to the hackers and the crackers.

00:10.020 --> 00:15.640
I see in binary, I speak source code, step on my toes, I'll post a million jpegs of you

00:15.640 --> 00:16.560
in a fag poem.

00:16.820 --> 00:21.820
In your digital stance, getting firewalled ho, cause I'm riding the net in my six foe.

00:22.000 --> 00:26.560
I was a dick with my 56, now with my cable I'm able to get that stable.

00:26.560 --> 00:32.580
On the out, my name is Ace and I'm a Leo. On the digital highway, my name is Neo and I'm a hero.

00:32.800 --> 00:38.480
In a flash, I'll screw you on burning dreamcast. You need some ISO? Let me through my hard drive rifle.

00:38.820 --> 00:43.640
Our exchange, you could never stifle. In a digital hug, you just caught the love bug.

00:43.920 --> 00:47.660
I bootlegged your CD, I caused a fight between Un and Jay-Z.

00:48.000 --> 00:52.220
Your CG, it's all gonna be free, whether we take it by force or we take it nicely.

00:52.340 --> 00:56.400
You feel that rattling your bones when I tell you we just hacked out Jones?

00:56.560 --> 01:00.840
And NASDAQ leaves you a fight on your back, cause I am he who loves to hack and crack.

01:01.220 --> 01:03.620
Cause I am he who loves to hack and crack.

01:04.080 --> 01:06.540
This is dedicated to the hackers and the crew.

01:07.180 --> 01:11.420
Serial code, source code, ISO, RAM, SIPC.

01:11.420 --> 01:19.060
Hello everyone and welcome to Binary Revolution Radio episode number 134 for February 7th, 2006.

01:19.340 --> 01:20.240
I'm Strom Carlson.

01:20.760 --> 01:21.620
And I'm Black Ratchet.

01:22.580 --> 01:26.680
And we, we, I'm not even sure who we have. We have, we have all kinds of guests tonight.

01:27.000 --> 01:30.940
Yes, but our, our, our main guest is a very special guest for BINREV Radio.

01:31.380 --> 01:33.940
The one, the only, well, Mark Spencer.

01:35.480 --> 01:38.800
Actually, there are many, many other Mark Spencers as it turns out.

01:39.860 --> 01:41.600
Oh yes, well, but, but, but see.

01:41.660 --> 01:43.460
It's a surprisingly common name.

01:44.280 --> 01:47.780
I can imagine, but see, the thing is, you're the, of all the other Mark Spencers out there,

01:47.820 --> 01:49.180
you're the only Mark Spencer that matters.

01:50.520 --> 01:53.800
Oh, thank you. That's very flattering.

01:54.520 --> 01:54.860
Wow.

01:56.700 --> 01:58.420
Who, who, who else do we have?

01:58.620 --> 02:02.160
And we're, we're, we're, we're apparently talking to the, uh, Digium conference room tonight.

02:02.160 --> 02:05.120
So, who, who, who else do we have in the conference room this evening?

02:06.260 --> 02:13.320
Well, we have Junkie, uh, well, Claude Patrick, but he's generally, uh, at least until yesterday,

02:13.420 --> 02:14.420
was known as Junkie.

02:14.820 --> 02:17.800
And apparently, as of yesterday, is now known as Drunkie.

02:17.800 --> 02:23.600
But, uh, also we have Matt Brooks, a.k.a. Chef.

02:24.700 --> 02:25.060
Brookshire.

02:25.260 --> 02:27.280
Or Brookshire, one of the others.

02:27.860 --> 02:35.640
Uh, who is, uh, the, uh, main, like, internal development guy here for all the web stuff that

02:35.640 --> 02:37.560
we have to have, order systems and all that.

02:37.960 --> 02:41.440
Junkie, uh, is an asterisk developer that doesn't really work for us.

02:41.500 --> 02:42.460
He's just kind of hanging out.

02:43.660 --> 02:45.080
Well, I want to hang out at Digium.

02:45.440 --> 02:46.560
I want to be cool like them.

02:47.560 --> 02:49.260
Well, cool, we'll just come on down.

02:49.660 --> 02:50.660
It's, uh, pretty cool.

02:52.500 --> 02:52.860
Huh.

02:53.000 --> 02:54.860
So, yes, we have all kinds of people this evening.

02:54.980 --> 02:59.160
We're just going to talk about, it's going to be rather free-flowing.

02:59.320 --> 03:03.060
We, the original rule of the episode was going to be, you know, we're going to try to stay

03:03.060 --> 03:05.560
away from asterisk and stay away from, uh, game, but.

03:05.760 --> 03:09.140
Yeah, because those are the, for those of you who don't know who Mark Spencer is, shame

03:09.140 --> 03:09.260
on you.

03:09.260 --> 03:09.440
Yes.

03:09.580 --> 03:12.340
But, uh, for those of you who don't know who Mark Spencer is, he is the original author

03:12.340 --> 03:13.680
of both Asterisk and Game.

03:13.680 --> 03:18.580
Um, and I figured, hey, let's bring him on here, but since all he ever talks about everywhere

03:18.580 --> 03:22.840
else is just asterisk and game, asterisk and game, let's talk about something which isn't

03:22.840 --> 03:23.720
either of those two.

03:23.720 --> 03:29.820
And, uh, so, the original intent, yes, is to try and do something which isn't asterisk

03:29.820 --> 03:30.240
and game.

03:30.440 --> 03:35.280
So, we'll start off on that, and then we'll see what, uh, what happens.

03:35.420 --> 03:40.420
Judging from how we were talking before the show, uh, it quickly devolved into, uh, asterisk,

03:40.520 --> 03:42.320
uh, game and, uh, voiceover IP.

03:42.620 --> 03:43.420
So, yeah.

03:44.100 --> 03:47.100
We, we, we don't know what actually happened, but it may happen.

03:47.100 --> 03:51.600
Oh, and by the way, we are live tonight, so if you, uh, if you guys are listening and

03:51.600 --> 03:56.100
you want to call in with your questions, our call-in number from the continental U.S., I

03:56.100 --> 04:03.640
think maybe from Alaska and Hawaii, is 888-9-BINREV, 888-9-BINREV, and if you're calling from outside

04:03.640 --> 04:09.160
the United States, you can reach us by calling area code 213, uh, country code 1, area code

04:09.160 --> 04:11.100
213-415-1047.

04:11.100 --> 04:17.420
And, and, and, yeah, we also have a new surprise for those of you listening live in the U.K.,

04:17.420 --> 04:22.460
all three of you, because why are you listening to the show at 2.30 a.m.?

04:22.460 --> 04:25.340
You, you, you're, you're pretty hardcore if you're doing that, but they are a dedicated

04:25.340 --> 04:26.080
hardcore fan.

04:27.680 --> 04:29.080
Do you have the number, or shall I?

04:29.760 --> 04:30.920
Um, I think you have the number.

04:30.980 --> 04:31.520
I don't have it in front of me.

04:31.520 --> 04:32.600
Yeah, okay, I didn't know if you had it.

04:32.840 --> 04:40.000
The, uh, the U.K. call-in line, uh, uh, graciously donated by, uh, uh, uh, I forget,

04:40.000 --> 04:48.880
Sasser, Sasser, if you donated it, um, is a 0845-646-0102.

04:49.060 --> 04:54.600
So, 0845-646-0102.

04:54.800 --> 05:00.540
And he was, he was very courteous to, uh, give us one of our, his spare D.I.D.s, and, hey,

05:00.580 --> 05:04.080
if you guys use it and he needs to call it for something else, we may just actually get

05:04.080 --> 05:09.360
a real U.K. phone-in number for all your phoning-in needs from the United Kingdom.

05:10.000 --> 05:14.400
Um, the, the one request that we do do, if you do call in, this, this, this is not

05:14.400 --> 05:21.440
a show to diagnose your extension.com for your musiconhold.com for, how do I park calls?

05:21.940 --> 05:22.380
Yeah.

05:22.580 --> 05:23.660
No, ask, ask.

05:23.660 --> 05:25.020
Troubleshooting, no tech support.

05:25.560 --> 05:28.560
This is, uh, our, our 90-minute show, let's not ruin it.

05:28.760 --> 05:33.000
We have the lovely, talented Dr. Zygman answering and screening our calls tonight.

05:33.280 --> 05:36.480
So, hello, Zygman, wherever you are on the other end of our voice line.

05:36.480 --> 05:41.060
Actually, Zygman's probably kicking himself because he didn't get the answer, he's not

05:41.060 --> 05:42.680
going to get to ask all the questions he wanted to.

05:44.040 --> 05:48.420
Well, he, he was, he wasn't, he, he was the one who was complaining about his, uh, lug

05:48.420 --> 05:51.120
meeting that everyone was talking to Mark about their extensions.com.

05:51.520 --> 05:52.080
Oh, yeah.

05:53.160 --> 05:56.300
Sure, I'm sure, well, I'm sure Mark can tell us that story from his point of view, too.

05:56.500 --> 05:58.620
Yeah, true, yeah, that's just, considering that he's right there.

05:58.620 --> 06:05.400
Well, uh, I don't know, I mean, you go to different trade shows and you get different

06:05.400 --> 06:13.720
kinds of, of, uh, questions that, that people tend to ask you, so, uh, there are a lot of

06:13.720 --> 06:17.620
them that I, you know, it's kind of cool to get some technical questions every now and

06:17.620 --> 06:23.320
then when, when I'm in that environment, um, because a lot of times, you know, you, you

06:23.320 --> 06:26.620
kind of get the same standard set of, uh, of questions.

06:26.740 --> 06:30.900
Actually, one of the, the coolest shows that I've been to recently was the Emerging Telephony

06:30.900 --> 06:31.420
Conference.

06:32.640 --> 06:34.340
Oh, yeah, the one up in San Francisco recently.

06:34.900 --> 06:35.600
Yeah, exactly.

06:36.020 --> 06:42.580
And, uh, and what really sort of set it apart was that, you know, I've always said, well,

06:42.580 --> 06:47.780
if you build an open source, uh, you know, Asterisk platform, then, you know, there'll be

06:47.780 --> 06:52.380
lots of people that'll come up with creative new applications for doing cool stuff with it.

06:52.380 --> 06:57.100
Um, and at Emerging Telephony, it was cool to actually get to see that there were people

06:57.100 --> 07:03.180
doing cool applications, like this guy that had the setup so that you could pay, uh, for

07:03.180 --> 07:08.300
parking via your phone, putting in your credit card number and having little sensors underneath

07:08.300 --> 07:11.700
the car that detect when you drive away and then it sends you an SMS with your bill.

07:12.480 --> 07:14.240
Uh, that was the Spark Parking people.

07:14.840 --> 07:16.160
Ooh, that's, that's neat.

07:16.580 --> 07:17.840
Yeah, it was pretty clever.

07:18.240 --> 07:22.360
And then there were some things where you could, like, leave these little audio blogs.

07:22.380 --> 07:26.000
with a little sticker, so if you walked by somewhere and you had a story about it, you

07:26.000 --> 07:30.880
could just leave this sticker that had a unique number on it, and then people could call a

07:30.880 --> 07:34.820
main number and then enter in that sticker's number and then hear your story about that

07:34.820 --> 07:35.380
place.

07:36.400 --> 07:37.080
That sounds cool.

07:38.300 --> 07:38.700
Yeah.

07:38.940 --> 07:44.800
Oh, see, I, I just, I'm a great implementation stuff, but I just never have ideas, and I can't

07:44.800 --> 07:46.240
think of these fun, exciting things.

07:47.140 --> 07:49.480
I'm just a boring techie person, I guess.

07:49.780 --> 07:51.060
Too boring techie person to you.

07:51.140 --> 07:51.400
Yes.

07:51.480 --> 07:53.140
And look at that, we're already talking about Asterisk.

07:53.200 --> 07:54.300
Boy, that, that didn't take long.

07:55.000 --> 08:00.120
So, how about that, let's, since this is rapidly devolving into nonsense, let's get into our

08:00.120 --> 08:01.120
email theme.

08:02.280 --> 08:03.040
Don't you think?

08:03.640 --> 08:04.980
I, I think that's a good idea.

08:05.160 --> 08:05.880
So, go right ahead.

08:05.880 --> 08:33.920
Our first email tonight is from Anonymous, and Anonymous writes, Dear BinRev Radio, Episode

08:33.920 --> 08:35.460
132 was quite enjoyable.

08:35.460 --> 08:36.800
You guys are doing a great job.

08:37.240 --> 08:41.500
Regarding Hawaiian telecom, Verizon Hawaii was purchased by the Carlyle Group, a loving,

08:41.700 --> 08:43.460
caring, multinational conglomerate.

08:43.920 --> 08:46.740
Verizon Wireless and Federal Services were not part of the transaction.

08:47.340 --> 08:48.520
Again, great job.

08:50.220 --> 08:50.740
Anonymous.

08:51.320 --> 08:52.280
Anonymous, yes.

08:52.420 --> 08:52.900
Ooh.

08:53.480 --> 08:55.180
We've got anonymous people sneaking on here.

08:55.640 --> 08:55.760
Yeah.

08:57.020 --> 08:58.060
Well, thank you.

08:58.220 --> 09:01.480
I did some search on this for a completely different reason.

09:01.480 --> 09:08.740
I was, but I think, like, right after the episode aired, I was, I was looking at phoneswarm.com.

09:09.440 --> 09:13.360
For those of you who don't know, it's, it's basically, it's a website that profiles a different

09:13.360 --> 09:16.840
payphone that takes phone calls every week or so.

09:16.840 --> 09:20.340
It's a different, a different payphone every couple of weeks or so, and it's, to the goal

09:20.340 --> 09:27.480
is just get as many humanly, many people as humanly possible to call it, and just, you

09:27.480 --> 09:29.000
know, talk to random people who answer it.

09:29.060 --> 09:29.740
It's very interesting.

09:30.260 --> 09:32.120
So, uh, phoneswarm.com, they're fun.

09:32.440 --> 09:35.120
They actually link to, uh, Yappel, so I can plug them for that.

09:35.700 --> 09:40.400
Um, and they, they actually profiled this phone in Hawaii, and I was adding it over into

09:40.400 --> 09:44.260
Yappel, because that's what I, I like to do, and, uh, I, I couldn't remember if it was

09:44.260 --> 09:47.680
Hawaii or Hawaiian telecom, so I googled the hell out of it, and I actually did find out

09:47.680 --> 09:54.880
all about the, the Carlyle Group and Verizon Hawaii and all this approval nonsense and everyone

09:54.880 --> 09:57.680
complaining that they're going to lose their telephone and everything's going to be horrible,

09:57.680 --> 09:59.460
but so far, so good, I don't know.

10:00.400 --> 10:01.880
Um, you, you were right on the money.

10:02.100 --> 10:02.780
Interesting stuff.

10:02.880 --> 10:04.920
Thank you so much for, uh, giving that information.

10:05.480 --> 10:09.880
Um, and also, I just wanted to say to this anonymous person, uh, thanks for the compliment.

10:10.160 --> 10:13.860
Um, you, you did sign anonymous, but I did see who it came from, and I'd just like to say

10:13.860 --> 10:14.280
thank you.

10:14.580 --> 10:16.360
It means a lot coming from someone like you.

10:19.180 --> 10:21.000
Anonymous to our listeners, but not to the host.

10:21.320 --> 10:22.020
Yes, exactly.

10:22.140 --> 10:23.280
We know who you are.

10:23.600 --> 10:25.480
We know what you did last weekend.

10:25.480 --> 10:28.100
I actually know what you did last Tuesday, anyway.

10:28.260 --> 10:29.780
We know what you did last Tuesday, yes.

10:30.520 --> 10:31.480
I don't think it was last Tuesday.

10:31.560 --> 10:33.140
He probably was listening in the archives, I assume.

10:33.360 --> 10:34.200
Maybe he listened to live.

10:34.600 --> 10:36.140
Hey, if you're, if you're listening, call on in.

10:36.180 --> 10:37.540
We'll just, we'll just give you a shout there.

10:37.700 --> 10:37.940
Yeah.

10:38.180 --> 10:38.500
Anyway.

10:39.260 --> 10:40.320
All right.

10:40.800 --> 10:45.700
Our next email is from Ill Omen, and he writes, I assume it's a he.

10:45.960 --> 10:49.500
Dear Black Ratchet and Strom Carlson, I've been, hello.

10:49.500 --> 10:55.840
Oh, I think, I think, you know it's a bad sign, you know, okay, you know it's a bad sign

10:55.840 --> 10:57.460
when, like, Digium just goes quiet on you.

10:57.660 --> 10:57.880
Yeah.

10:58.520 --> 11:02.280
Well, that's because I had to, I've got to run a quick test here, and so I was meeting

11:02.280 --> 11:04.120
you so you wouldn't have to hear all this testing stuff.

11:04.120 --> 11:04.440
Okay.

11:04.900 --> 11:08.120
Well, yeah, the background noise went away, and I'm like, ah, what happened?

11:09.080 --> 11:09.840
Comfort noise!

11:10.000 --> 11:11.160
It's a comfort noise!

11:11.240 --> 11:12.680
He's not feeling comfortable enough!

11:13.040 --> 11:13.400
Sorry.

11:13.580 --> 11:13.820
Okay.

11:13.820 --> 11:13.880
Okay.

11:16.880 --> 11:18.100
That's the girls talking.

11:18.100 --> 11:18.740
Never mind.

11:20.420 --> 11:24.460
Dear Black Ratchet and Strom Carlson, I've been listening to the show for just over a month

11:24.460 --> 11:25.300
now, and I love it.

11:25.640 --> 11:28.740
Though I haven't had the chance to catch you all live yet, I hope to in the future.

11:29.380 --> 11:34.940
During episode 127, Virtual Studio 2005 does not suck, you all, Black Ratchet and Not Theory,

11:34.940 --> 11:41.000
talked about several phones, including the Sidekick, Q-Tec 8010, iMate SP3, and the now-released

11:41.000 --> 11:42.920
Trio 700, and have a few questions.

11:44.580 --> 11:44.820
Okay.

11:45.420 --> 11:47.580
One, what's your thoughts on the BlackBerry device?

11:48.100 --> 11:50.760
Two, what's your love-hate relationship with the sidekick?

11:51.240 --> 11:56.080
Three, I've been thinking more on the Trio 650 or the Trio 700, both specifically on the

11:56.080 --> 11:59.660
developmental features, the Trio 650 Java, Trio700.net.

11:59.960 --> 12:03.120
For someone who tends to move from country to country, which would you recommend?

12:03.620 --> 12:07.000
I don't want to have to purchase a new cell phone every time I move to a new country.

12:07.800 --> 12:10.660
Four, overall, what is your all-time favorite cell phone?

12:11.320 --> 12:12.260
Sincerely, Ill Omen.

12:14.400 --> 12:19.440
Well, I fired this question off the Not Theory, but he's in the middle of some real-life things

12:19.440 --> 12:23.280
right now, so he couldn't answer it, I guess, because he hasn't emailed me back yet.

12:23.660 --> 12:25.720
Unless he emailed me recently, but I haven't checked it yet.

12:25.720 --> 12:30.460
But I will attempt to answer your questions as best as I can.

12:31.480 --> 12:33.560
Number one, your BlackBerry question.

12:33.860 --> 12:40.880
BlackBerry's a nice, I talked to Natus, my resident BlackBerry expert, or our resident

12:40.880 --> 12:42.360
BlackBerry expert.

12:43.000 --> 12:44.820
He said, and I quote,

12:44.820 --> 12:56.960
He then went on to say, apparently, that in CDMA, if you receive data and a voice call

12:56.960 --> 13:03.460
at the same time, the CDMA gives a voice to the data, I'm sorry, gives data the priority.

13:04.160 --> 13:08.720
So basically, the call would instantly drop to voicemail while you were doing some type

13:08.720 --> 13:09.420
of data things.

13:09.940 --> 13:11.480
I don't know exactly how that works.

13:11.480 --> 13:15.580
He says that may have been fixed in the new version of the software, which is version

13:15.580 --> 13:16.660
4.1, apparently.

13:18.020 --> 13:21.500
He also said, if he had to find some type of fault with it, he said he didn't like the

13:21.500 --> 13:27.880
free SecureShell client that it comes with, but the one that cost $90 rocks, apparently,

13:28.120 --> 13:32.620
which I don't understand how anyone can charge $90 for a SecureShell client, but we won't

13:32.620 --> 13:33.120
get into that.

13:34.280 --> 13:35.040
Yeah, I know.

13:35.140 --> 13:35.840
Tell me about it.

13:35.840 --> 13:43.980
And the browser, the web browser, compared to the sidekick slash hiptop sucks.

13:46.000 --> 13:51.420
As for number two, which is the love-hate relationship with the sidekick, both not theory and now

13:51.420 --> 13:57.040
myself as well, I'm totally not digging the fact that the hiptop development process is

13:57.040 --> 13:58.160
locked up tighter than a drum.

13:58.160 --> 14:04.480
In order to develop on it, you need to get a developer's key, which is, I'm not exactly

14:04.480 --> 14:05.520
sure what it is entirely.

14:05.660 --> 14:06.780
I've never actually seen it.

14:07.600 --> 14:08.800
It's just a string of numbers.

14:09.060 --> 14:09.560
It is?

14:09.820 --> 14:14.660
Yeah, there's like something you plug into your phone and there's some soft, you download

14:14.660 --> 14:20.160
a different version of the software and I forget exactly what, but actually, I could talk to

14:20.160 --> 14:20.580
one of my friends.

14:20.680 --> 14:22.980
Apparently, he was a developer for the color sidekick.

14:22.980 --> 14:27.000
He signed up for their development program, which was apparently very easy to get into

14:27.000 --> 14:31.100
during the color sidekick, but when the sidekick two came out, that's when they started cracking

14:31.100 --> 14:33.140
down on it because people started really messing with it.

14:33.420 --> 14:37.460
Yeah, one of my friends who used to work for Danger actually gave me a developer key, but

14:37.460 --> 14:40.860
I never used it because I wasn't sure whether or not.

14:40.960 --> 14:44.560
I think I had just switched phones and I wasn't sure whether the radio software was working

14:44.560 --> 14:47.040
correctly and I didn't want to void the warranty or whatever.

14:47.880 --> 14:48.920
Hey, Strom, you still got that key?

14:49.100 --> 14:49.460
Hey, hey.

14:49.980 --> 14:50.240
Yeah.

14:50.240 --> 14:53.060
Well, no, the thing is, I think it's tied to your device's IMEI.

14:53.140 --> 14:55.640
Now that I've replaced the phone, I don't think it's going to work anymore.

14:56.000 --> 14:56.540
Oh, that sucks.

14:57.020 --> 14:57.320
That sucks.

14:58.060 --> 14:59.340
As stated, it sucks.

15:00.060 --> 15:01.380
It's incredibly horrible.

15:01.860 --> 15:04.080
You have to sign your soul over to them with the official one.

15:04.140 --> 15:06.380
I guess if you know someone who works at Danger, it's kind of easier.

15:06.800 --> 15:07.020
Mm-hmm.

15:07.020 --> 15:13.580
And also, if you do become a developer, you can't release your software unless it's through

15:13.580 --> 15:19.160
Danger, the manufacturer, or the cell phone provider, like T-Mobile or Suncom or whatever

15:19.160 --> 15:20.860
your cell phone provider is.

15:20.860 --> 15:28.860
Now, if we compare this to, say, like a Windows mobile phone, or I assume BlackBerrys are like

15:28.860 --> 15:30.080
this as well, although I'm not sure.

15:31.540 --> 15:35.580
Basically, I can bang out a program after the show tonight, put it up on my website by

15:35.580 --> 15:40.300
midnight, and at 1201, as soon as it's done uploading, you can grab it and install it on

15:40.300 --> 15:41.600
your Windows mobile phone.

15:41.840 --> 15:46.260
And it'll, you know, everyone will enjoy it and use it, and I'll become a hero, and I'll

15:46.260 --> 15:47.320
be more famous than Mark Spencer.

15:47.320 --> 15:54.140
Um, it's basically, the process is annoying, and basically, I never really started, I never

15:54.140 --> 15:55.720
really started noticing it.

15:56.200 --> 16:00.300
I mean, Not Theory pointed this out a year ago, and I just was never really into the whole

16:00.300 --> 16:05.380
mobile development thing, but when I started really messing around with Visual Studio 2005

16:05.380 --> 16:12.020
and mobile development, and just really mucking about with it, it was like, wow, I really wish

16:12.020 --> 16:15.760
I could do this on my sidekick, but no such luck.

16:17.320 --> 16:25.600
Um, as for number three, about the whole international country thing, um, I don't know, ask Verizon.

16:25.780 --> 16:30.400
I don't think CDMA is supported at all over Europe or any other foreign country.

16:30.640 --> 16:33.920
I know the sidekick, actually, you can take it to every country I look at it.

16:34.060 --> 16:35.940
It's a tri-band GSM.

16:35.940 --> 16:41.720
Um, well, yeah, but, I mean, GSM, but the, I believe the current, or at least the 700W

16:41.720 --> 16:47.400
that's released now is, um, whatever it is, it's, it's, it's CDMA only.

16:47.700 --> 16:47.900
Yeah.

16:48.000 --> 16:48.720
I could be wrong.

16:48.940 --> 16:49.800
Yeah, no, I could hear it.

16:49.800 --> 16:51.760
There's, there's, there's one that's coming out with GSM.

16:51.940 --> 16:55.880
It's coming out with, uh, Edge, and that, that's what they're trying to push for it, but.

16:57.240 --> 16:58.260
Yeah, who cares?

16:58.780 --> 16:59.340
I don't know.

16:59.380 --> 17:00.260
Talk, talk to Verizon.

17:00.520 --> 17:03.980
I, I don't think it'll support it, but I'm, I'm not going to go on either way on this.

17:04.340 --> 17:09.160
I think if you might get a Trio 650, it could be supported better, because I think some

17:09.160 --> 17:12.880
of those support GSM, but as of now, the 700s, I believe, only support CDMA.

17:12.880 --> 17:17.540
Um, number four, favorite, uh, cell phone.

17:17.740 --> 17:21.540
Um, I like my Sidekick, maybe because it's the best one that I've used, because it has

17:21.540 --> 17:26.280
all the PDA stuff in it, and it's got a very bitchin' form factor.

17:27.060 --> 17:32.500
Um, the phone that I previously had was a, uh, Nokia 5165, the candy bar phone.

17:33.040 --> 17:34.100
Dude, those things rocked.

17:34.140 --> 17:34.500
Oh, yeah.

17:35.180 --> 17:36.000
I love those.

17:36.280 --> 17:39.820
Those, those, those are like a nice, those are very nice, just like, it felt like a phone

17:39.820 --> 17:40.500
when you were using it.

17:40.500 --> 17:44.940
The only thing I didn't like about it is that if you, like, over, like, a year, the

17:44.940 --> 17:47.360
battery would start to become so loose, you couldn't use it anymore.

17:47.920 --> 17:49.100
Yeah, I hated that.

17:49.520 --> 17:52.500
Yeah, and I, I, I went to, like, two batteries, and it truly drove me about batty.

17:53.580 --> 17:58.340
Um, my also personal other favorite phone is a nice, one of the original Motorola StarTACs.

17:59.080 --> 18:03.500
Um, those, those are, those are just, they just have a very nice tactile feel to them.

18:03.640 --> 18:05.900
I had one of those in the late 90s.

18:06.520 --> 18:09.140
Yeah, on, on the analog Verizon network.

18:10.500 --> 18:12.540
Yeah, I, I don't think they ever made digital ones, did they?

18:12.540 --> 18:13.100
No, they did.

18:13.180 --> 18:15.160
They, they certainly did make digital StarTACs.

18:15.380 --> 18:15.860
Oh, really?

18:16.040 --> 18:16.320
Yeah.

18:16.360 --> 18:16.860
I didn't know that.

18:17.640 --> 18:19.220
Well, only the ones that I've seen were analog.

18:20.120 --> 18:24.600
Um, so I, I guess if they're digital, I guess you can use them, but good luck finding them

18:24.600 --> 18:24.760
now.

18:24.840 --> 18:26.960
I, I don't think you'll really find any.

18:27.180 --> 18:30.340
Well, I think also the major carriers are all moving away from TDMA in the first place,

18:30.440 --> 18:30.620
so.

18:30.700 --> 18:31.100
Oh, true.

18:31.180 --> 18:32.380
Yeah, they're all TDMA, aren't they?

18:32.460 --> 18:33.160
Yeah, they just think so.

18:33.160 --> 18:34.340
So that's what I was thinking of.

18:35.480 --> 18:37.380
Um, Tom, what's your favorite cell phone?

18:37.860 --> 18:39.400
You know, I'm with you, Ratchet.

18:39.460 --> 18:40.380
I love my Sidekick.

18:40.520 --> 18:45.900
It's, uh, I mean, like, what's, what's interesting is my philosophy on phones for the longest

18:45.900 --> 18:49.020
times has, has been, you know, simple as possible.

18:49.120 --> 18:53.960
I don't need any extra features, except in the case of the Sidekick where it's all really

18:53.960 --> 18:57.780
integrated really well and the interface makes sense and it's just really easy to use.

18:57.780 --> 19:04.020
It's, it's, the, the only, uh, problem I have with the Sidekick is A, no Bluetooth, and

19:04.020 --> 19:05.860
B, dialing is a smidge awkward.

19:06.700 --> 19:08.540
Yeah, dialing, dialing's annoying.

19:09.240 --> 19:12.240
But a Bluetooth does occasionally grab, yeah, yeah.

19:12.340 --> 19:14.480
But apart from that, I mean, it's amazing.

19:15.120 --> 19:18.740
I can't wait to see what to do with the third generation, or the Sidekick 3, not necessarily

19:18.740 --> 19:19.320
third generation.

19:19.780 --> 19:20.280
I don't know.

19:20.680 --> 19:25.680
Personally, I'm going to seriously consider looking, whenever I get my new next-view phone,

19:25.680 --> 19:30.420
which will probably be in about a year or two, honestly, um, I, I'm going to look at

19:30.420 --> 19:33.840
something that's Windows Mobile-based, or Windows, Windows Smartphone.

19:34.560 --> 19:38.760
And I'm sure people are cringing right now in the audience, but who cares?

19:38.880 --> 19:40.980
I can just hear that, Windows, ew!

19:41.540 --> 19:41.780
Yeah.

19:42.400 --> 19:45.340
But, Mark, what, what, what do you use for a cell phone?

19:45.540 --> 19:47.700
That, that, there, there's a question that's interesting.

19:48.560 --> 19:50.980
If he's still there, he's still running his diagnostics.

19:50.980 --> 19:55.780
Mark, wow, our guest switches were dropped off the map.

19:56.160 --> 19:56.740
Oh, no.

19:58.180 --> 19:59.900
Is anybody there at Digium?

20:00.040 --> 20:00.320
Over.

20:02.480 --> 20:03.780
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I'm back.

20:06.360 --> 20:07.880
I'm trying hard!

20:09.020 --> 20:12.100
Okay, so the question was, which, uh, phone do I use?

20:12.360 --> 20:13.660
Yeah, which cell phone do you have?

20:14.520 --> 20:21.860
I use, uh, the, um, Nokia 3650, also known as the birth control dispenser phone,

20:22.000 --> 20:25.380
because of its unusual arrangement of buttons on the bottom.

20:25.540 --> 20:29.100
Oh, yeah, it's got a, like, the numbers are arranged one to zero in a, in a circle.

20:29.760 --> 20:30.100
Mm-hmm.

20:30.240 --> 20:30.520
Right.

20:31.160 --> 20:34.660
But not in the same place you'd expect to find them on a rotary phone, so that's like...

20:35.940 --> 20:37.000
That is correct.

20:37.000 --> 20:41.680
It, it, it kind of sucks.

20:42.340 --> 20:48.780
And, uh, but I, I have to say, I also, uh, have a very surprising tendency to drop my phone.

20:50.940 --> 20:51.340
True.

20:51.580 --> 20:57.560
Yeah, I, uh, my, my, my, my sidekick one, my color, my color sidekick, not a sidekick one,

20:57.580 --> 21:01.440
I don't think they actually ever called it one, um, was, was remarkably tough.

21:01.440 --> 21:07.000
I dropped it, like, you know, two or three times from my, when my, my holster started

21:07.000 --> 21:10.920
to go for that I had on my belt, and it would fall, it would fall out and hit the pavement.

21:11.100 --> 21:14.660
And there, it was, there were some good gouges on there, but it continued ticking up until

21:14.660 --> 21:15.400
the end, so.

21:16.800 --> 21:18.940
I, I gotta say, it was pretty, it was pretty tough.

21:20.240 --> 21:24.100
Yeah, I, I just had mine replaced because it stopped charging and started shorting out.

21:24.500 --> 21:27.300
And, um, I am treating this thing like a baby.

21:27.760 --> 21:29.380
So far, I haven't dropped it yet.

21:29.940 --> 21:31.120
I haven't even scratched it.

21:31.440 --> 21:36.000
I, I gotta say, I, I haven't dropped mine without it not being in the case, so.

21:36.700 --> 21:39.220
That, that's what I'll say that as.

21:42.040 --> 21:42.400
Um.

21:42.680 --> 21:43.180
Next email?

21:43.180 --> 21:44.580
Do, do, do you want to take a break from email?

21:44.700 --> 21:47.400
Because we had a, we had, we have a call that's been waiting for a little bit.

21:47.560 --> 21:51.600
Yeah, why don't we take this call, let me go grab this call, and you talk for a second.

21:52.020 --> 21:55.560
Oh, yeah, I, I, I love when you just sort of drop off here and have to brother screen

21:55.560 --> 21:56.080
the phone call.

21:57.400 --> 22:01.260
So, do, do, do, do you, do you find the, uh, 3650 awkward to dial, or did you,

22:01.260 --> 22:02.380
did you just have to get used to it?

22:03.820 --> 22:09.020
Um, even as long as I've had it, it's still somewhat awkward to dial, but the biggest problem

22:09.020 --> 22:13.980
is that it's very difficult to send SMS driving, messages while you're driving a stick shift

22:13.980 --> 22:14.880
using that phone.

22:15.820 --> 22:19.960
I, I would think that driving, sending SMS messages while driving a stick shift would

22:19.960 --> 22:20.980
be difficult with any phone.

22:22.220 --> 22:24.380
It's just especially difficult with that phone.

22:25.440 --> 22:27.860
All right, we have, uh, Lord Drakkenblood on the line.

22:29.560 --> 22:30.920
Hey, how's it going, gentlemen?

22:32.540 --> 22:33.200
Hello, hello.

22:33.620 --> 22:34.120
Pretty good.

22:34.360 --> 22:34.800
Doing well.

22:35.800 --> 22:37.580
You had some questions for Mark, didn't you?

22:38.360 --> 22:38.760
Yes.

22:39.320 --> 22:43.400
Uh, I was curious what the coolest hack you've seen using Asterix has been.

22:43.400 --> 22:48.540
Um, ooh, ooh, that's a tough one.

22:49.080 --> 22:50.980
Ooh, deep mystery time with Mark Spencer.

22:52.300 --> 22:53.780
Hmm, yeah.

22:53.900 --> 22:59.200
The, the, the finger motions here.

22:59.200 --> 23:02.140
Um, sort of the Dr. Evil.

23:02.760 --> 23:06.520
Um, the parking thing was kind of cool.

23:06.840 --> 23:11.180
The whole idea of, like, leaving little stickers and being able to call in is kind of cool.

23:11.180 --> 23:16.820
Um, there's some people that have done some voice changers for Asterix, so that you can

23:16.820 --> 23:18.180
call somebody and change your voice.

23:19.020 --> 23:23.920
Um, which is a heck of a lot neater than all these silly Ford Your Color ID stuff.

23:24.560 --> 23:24.900
Um.

23:25.440 --> 23:26.420
What else?

23:28.700 --> 23:30.380
Uh, what else?

23:31.140 --> 23:32.100
There, there's just a lot.

23:32.180 --> 23:33.840
I mean, the parking thing was cool.

23:34.580 --> 23:40.340
Um, someone had, I made Zork work using Sphinx 2 and, uh, and Festival.

23:40.340 --> 23:45.960
It, I, I wouldn't say it was, was flawless, but it was still kind of cool that they tried

23:45.960 --> 23:46.180
it.

23:46.820 --> 23:47.400
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

23:47.600 --> 23:50.700
Does this mean someone actually got Sphinx 2 working on Asterix?

23:51.980 --> 23:54.220
Uh, well, not exactly.

23:54.940 --> 24:06.120
What they did was, uh, they, they just, uh, how can I describe this?

24:06.120 --> 24:14.800
They took, they recorded what you said and then used the options for the record so that

24:14.800 --> 24:18.340
when, when you stopped talking, it would just finish the recording.

24:18.600 --> 24:23.000
And then they would run an AGI script which processed that using Sphinx.

24:23.000 --> 24:29.900
Uh, and then came up with a response which was then, uh, they called, uh, uh, I think

24:29.900 --> 24:35.100
they used either Festival or Kepstrol to then re-render the audio to send back to you in

24:35.100 --> 24:35.440
the prompt.

24:36.600 --> 24:40.480
I gotta say that, that, that, that, that's a pretty good, that's a pretty good hack right

24:40.480 --> 24:40.680
there.

24:40.800 --> 24:43.660
That, that's, I'm gonna, I'm, I must actually look into that.

24:43.760 --> 24:44.620
That, that's pretty neat.

24:44.680 --> 24:45.400
That was a good idea.

24:45.860 --> 24:47.380
I would not have thought of that.

24:48.960 --> 24:50.740
Lots of people would not have thought of that.

24:50.740 --> 24:54.880
Yeah, for, for, for, for those of you who don't know, Sphinx, Sphinx 2 is a voice recognition

24:54.880 --> 24:58.680
technology and it's, I, it's open source, I believe.

25:00.200 --> 25:01.100
Sphinx 2 is, yes.

25:01.220 --> 25:04.360
No, I haven't actually used it, so I don't know how, how well.

25:04.400 --> 25:08.820
I, I, I tried, I tried to get it working with, um, Asterisk and failed miserably, but then

25:08.820 --> 25:12.020
I felt good when I actually started researching it and found out that no one has gotten it working

25:12.020 --> 25:12.600
with Asterisk.

25:14.660 --> 25:16.980
Or like one person in southern Indonesia.

25:17.640 --> 25:19.360
Yeah, I, I, I haven't tried it yet.

25:20.740 --> 25:23.860
What we should really do is, like, I should get on my friend at, at, at Tell Me Networks

25:23.860 --> 25:28.120
and get him to give me some sort of access to their voice recognition stuff.

25:30.020 --> 25:31.540
They should, they should open source Tell Me.

25:31.940 --> 25:32.200
Yeah.

25:34.480 --> 25:36.520
So, hey, when are you gonna open source Tell Me?

25:37.120 --> 25:37.900
Uh, what?

25:37.900 --> 25:37.920
Uh, what?

25:41.200 --> 25:43.400
So, do we have any other questions, Lord Dracom?

25:43.400 --> 25:43.660
Um.

25:43.980 --> 25:44.540
Whatever it is.

25:44.760 --> 25:46.300
I'm, I'm sorry, I can't pronounce your name.

25:46.740 --> 25:46.960
What?

25:47.160 --> 25:47.360
Blood.

25:47.560 --> 25:48.100
That's okay.

25:48.100 --> 25:50.280
A lot of people have problems with it.

25:50.560 --> 25:55.160
The other one is, where can I dig up some information on that audio blog the guy's running?

25:55.260 --> 25:59.360
I've one, been wanting to hook up something like that similar, and if I could track down

25:59.360 --> 26:02.060
some information on it, it'd make my life a little easier.

26:02.060 --> 26:16.020
The, well, um, it was, it was at, uh, NYU, uh, I don't remember their URL, but they've got

26:16.020 --> 26:22.760
a special, um, program there, which I'm trying to remember the name of now, which is basically,

26:22.760 --> 26:32.220
uh, uh, they called it a, uh, uh, um, a study program for the recently possible, which I thought

26:32.220 --> 26:33.620
was kind of an interesting description.

26:34.320 --> 26:34.640
Um.

26:34.640 --> 26:42.580
Um, there were some other projects there, like, uh, one called, uh, Gum Spots, where they

26:42.580 --> 26:48.380
were, they have a setup so that you can send, um, like, take a picture of the sidewalk around

26:48.380 --> 26:54.520
NYU with your cell phone, and it will use the location of the Gum Spots to identify where

26:54.520 --> 26:54.960
you are.

26:54.960 --> 26:57.640
Oh, interesting.

26:57.740 --> 26:57.900
Wow.

26:58.320 --> 26:58.900
That, that's...

26:58.900 --> 26:59.180
Wow.

27:01.000 --> 27:02.820
Uh, but that one didn't involve asterisk.

27:03.240 --> 27:05.660
But I don't remember the name of this other one.

27:06.440 --> 27:10.860
Well, what we can do is we can, we can either search for it and have it towards the end of

27:10.860 --> 27:13.320
the show, or we can just announce it on next week's show, so.

27:13.500 --> 27:13.740
Yeah.

27:15.260 --> 27:17.500
We can actually have some real honest-to-goodness housekeeping.

27:17.660 --> 27:18.140
Holy God.

27:18.400 --> 27:18.640
Yeah.

27:19.760 --> 27:24.920
Instead of just, like, uh, yeah, I beat off six times this week, and, uh, uh, uh, uh,

27:24.920 --> 27:27.760
uh, yeah, we don't, you know, I don't want to know that.

27:28.360 --> 27:30.440
Ah, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

27:32.300 --> 27:33.100
Only six?

27:33.260 --> 27:35.100
Oh, come on, you're slacking, man.

27:35.440 --> 27:36.360
Yeah, yeah, usually.

27:36.360 --> 27:37.520
I've already done nine in the last hour.

27:37.820 --> 27:42.640
Usually more like 14, anyway, um, what's, uh, any other questions for Mark?

27:43.080 --> 27:43.620
Or for us?

27:43.620 --> 27:51.660
Um, I was just curious on your guys' take, I guess, of, uh, one of the hacks I saw using

27:51.660 --> 27:54.860
asterisks, where a guy could call his asterisk box and would dump his,

27:54.920 --> 28:00.440
call, call him back and then dump him to a dial tone to where he gets pre-calling through

28:00.440 --> 28:00.860
his cell phone.

28:01.660 --> 28:04.600
That's, uh, actually surprisingly common.

28:04.760 --> 28:05.940
That's called, uh, callback.

28:06.580 --> 28:08.500
Um, so, yeah.

28:08.920 --> 28:13.940
I think more of the X10 stuff and dialing MP3 is a little more unusual, but callback systems

28:13.940 --> 28:19.820
have actually existed for a fairly long time and surprisingly actually predate asterisks.

28:19.820 --> 28:23.080
Cool.

28:23.440 --> 28:26.440
Well, it's become, it's become a lot more, I mean, a lot of the stuff that you do with

28:26.440 --> 28:30.300
asterisk is new to a lot of people because a lot of people just didn't have the platform

28:30.300 --> 28:31.900
to do this, ever.

28:32.840 --> 28:38.340
I mean, the entire, the, it, it, it, it, it's allowed a lot of people to really level

28:38.340 --> 28:44.740
the playing field with, um, like, like, they, they don't need to like, you know, drop like

28:44.740 --> 28:47.560
$2,000 on this killer PBX system that can do all this.

28:47.660 --> 28:50.960
It's, you know, I have a Linux box, I have a network connection, ooh, let's go get into

28:50.960 --> 28:51.260
VoIP.

28:52.640 --> 28:55.480
Which is basically how I got into asterisk, which was really scary.

28:55.480 --> 29:02.760
I'd have to say, uh, asterisk has definitely sparked my interest in freaking, so, I'd have

29:02.760 --> 29:08.320
to definitely say thanks for that, for opening a new realm of interest for me.

29:11.040 --> 29:11.520
Okay.

29:12.060 --> 29:12.440
Cool.

29:12.580 --> 29:17.380
I'll, uh, uh, there's no right answer to that.

29:18.100 --> 29:21.840
There's no good answer to that, so I'm just going to not say anything.

29:21.840 --> 29:23.800
Um, uh, gosh.

29:23.800 --> 29:26.060
Oh, don't tell, don't tell me Mark Spencer doesn't like phone freaks.

29:27.340 --> 29:31.900
Uh, well, no, I mean, I, I wouldn't quite go that far, but, but there's certain things

29:31.900 --> 29:39.740
that, uh, I mean, well, let's see, I'm certainly not a proponent of, of stealing, uh, service.

29:40.600 --> 29:41.980
So, yeah, I suppose I could get there.

29:41.980 --> 29:47.440
Well, most of the stuff, most of the stuff that I see it with, it's, um, like, the person

29:47.440 --> 29:51.540
I was helping out with this actually just this week, he has a free inbound on his Nextel,

29:51.540 --> 29:55.360
so what he wanted to do was just, you know, call a phone number, have it hang up, and

29:55.360 --> 29:58.240
then have it call him back so he gets free incoming, which technically isn't stealing,

29:58.340 --> 29:59.740
it's just being a system.

29:59.740 --> 30:05.620
Right, so I, I have no problem with people who find clever ways to utilize services that

30:05.620 --> 30:10.360
they have, uh, appropriately, you know, paid for and negotiated, right?

30:10.360 --> 30:14.880
I mean, that's, if you think about it, voice over IP is, a lot of that is really about doing

30:14.880 --> 30:15.360
toll bypass.

30:15.360 --> 30:21.440
It's just, I mean, I think, when people say phone freakers, sometimes that, you know,

30:22.240 --> 30:27.760
I, I guess people think of more like blue boxes and, you know, systems like that where

30:27.760 --> 30:32.300
you're, uh, discovering vulnerabilities within, uh, the telephone network.

30:34.180 --> 30:37.860
Wow, so we just, we got, we got heavy and deep here with Mark Spencer on Bind River Radio.

30:37.940 --> 30:38.020
Yeah.

30:38.020 --> 30:41.420
Sorry, I feel like I was a little downer, you know.

30:42.520 --> 30:44.880
Oh, no, I mean, everyone's entitled to their opinion.

30:45.000 --> 30:48.780
I mean, it's, it's, you're, you're very much in line, I think, with most of the other people

30:48.780 --> 30:50.500
who are listening, so it's no big deal.

30:50.520 --> 30:52.340
It's kind of like, it's kind of like the term hacker.

30:52.340 --> 30:53.620
Don't feel like you're a horrible person.

30:54.180 --> 30:54.300
Hmm?

30:54.400 --> 30:55.940
Yeah, it's kind of like the term hacker.

30:56.060 --> 31:02.960
It's just been kind of, it's, it's been damaged to the point that, you know, I, I can't even

31:02.960 --> 31:09.740
go out and, and call myself a hacker because people misunderstand what that means, um, sort

31:09.740 --> 31:16.080
of getting back on slash off topic, you know, KEOPS was one of my other programs that I wrote

31:16.080 --> 31:21.580
that, that never really gained a lot of traction and got a maintainer, but, um, it isn't in

31:21.580 --> 31:26.340
several books, but it is apparently called a hacker tool, even though that was not what

31:26.340 --> 31:27.500
it was intended to be.

31:28.160 --> 31:32.400
I mean, it was intended to be a cool tool for discovering your network, but of course you

31:32.400 --> 31:37.340
can also use it to discover random networks, especially back in 98 before firewalls were

31:37.340 --> 31:38.120
particularly prevalent.

31:39.740 --> 31:44.560
Oh, God, I remember when, like, you know, there was basically just this giant, just vast

31:44.560 --> 31:47.520
expanse where everyone just had no clue about security.

31:47.660 --> 31:48.240
It was amazing.

31:49.040 --> 31:55.400
Just, just, the, the, the stuff that the internet has become, oh, well, we're, we're, we are kind

31:55.400 --> 31:58.940
of drifting, so we're, we're drifting on topic, but we're drifting off topic from email,

31:59.060 --> 32:02.340
so let's just address the last two, two or three emails that we have.

32:02.400 --> 32:02.780
Right now.

32:02.940 --> 32:05.940
While you're doing that, I'm going to try and experiment, and if I lose you, I'll call

32:05.940 --> 32:06.340
right back.

32:07.340 --> 32:07.660
Okay.

32:08.280 --> 32:08.620
Look at that.

32:08.620 --> 32:10.920
We're doing asterisk hacking right on the radio show.

32:11.200 --> 32:12.860
That's, that's how hardcore Mark is.

32:13.500 --> 32:13.960
All right.

32:14.080 --> 32:14.580
Thanks, Lord.

32:14.940 --> 32:15.540
All right, gentlemen.

32:16.820 --> 32:17.860
Thank you for calling in.

32:17.900 --> 32:18.600
All right, gentlemen, you have a good day.

32:18.780 --> 32:19.100
You too.

32:19.140 --> 32:19.800
Have a good evening, man.

32:19.860 --> 32:20.020
Yes.

32:20.020 --> 32:23.760
All right.

32:23.840 --> 32:26.200
To be honest, I, I, he, he was, he was very quiet.

32:26.280 --> 32:27.680
I didn't even know he was still there.

32:27.940 --> 32:32.020
Yeah, well, seriously, if you're, if you're, if you're on the, if you're on the talk, just

32:32.020 --> 32:32.940
feel free to talk in.

32:32.980 --> 32:36.060
You don't need to, you don't need to, you can interject, you can talk, you can do whatever

32:36.060 --> 32:36.440
you want.

32:36.440 --> 32:40.120
I mean, we're, we're, we're, we're very, we're very, every, when you're calling in,

32:40.200 --> 32:41.220
you're, you're very much an equal.

32:41.360 --> 32:43.260
Don't, don't just think you have to sit back and listen.

32:43.580 --> 32:43.860
Oh, yeah.

32:43.860 --> 32:48.140
If you're, if, you know, just interject, talk, you know, you just interact with the show.

32:48.220 --> 32:50.840
That's what the dial, that's what the dial, that's what the call in is for.

32:51.160 --> 32:51.420
Mm-hmm.

32:52.300 --> 32:52.780
All right.

32:52.840 --> 32:53.220
All right.

32:53.220 --> 32:53.240
All right.

32:53.240 --> 32:58.140
Email is from Stacksmasher, and he says, I used to love it when you played stank audio

32:58.140 --> 33:04.560
drops, like nothing wrong with a protein shot to the face, yakety yak yak balls, and my

33:04.560 --> 33:07.420
first, my personal favorite, e-motherfucking-leet.

33:08.500 --> 33:10.460
Thanks, and keep up the good work, Stacksmasher.

33:12.620 --> 33:15.500
Well, Stacksmasher, you know, do you, do you want us to do that some more?

33:15.600 --> 33:18.020
I mean, we're, we're always looking for new stank sounds.

33:19.480 --> 33:21.760
Mainly, much the chagrin of a stank, I would assume.

33:22.540 --> 33:26.200
Um, you know, hell, if you, if you want, make your own soundboard of, uh, just clips from

33:26.200 --> 33:31.100
the show, you know, if you really want to have, you know, Strom and I and, you know, various

33:31.100 --> 33:33.820
forms of guests, you know, Dr. Zygman, Not Theory, whoever.

33:33.820 --> 33:38.080
However, just, you, just hack them on up, hack the shows up, and email them on in, you

33:38.080 --> 33:42.960
know, just, the one thing that we do request is, uh, don't send it to radio at binrev.com,

33:43.100 --> 33:48.120
um, just email them directly to me, and that would be blackratchet at blackratchet.org.

33:48.220 --> 33:50.320
Or Strom Carlson at gmail.com.

33:50.920 --> 33:52.940
Oh, yeah, or Strom Carlson, yeah, I didn't even think of that.

33:53.160 --> 33:53.960
Ha, ha, ha, yeah.

33:54.560 --> 34:00.460
Um, we, we can both handle larger attachments than, um, radio at binrev.com can, so please,

34:00.540 --> 34:00.960
K, thanks.

34:00.960 --> 34:06.620
So, guys, since, uh, Allison, by the way, I, I, I talked to her, and she couldn't call

34:06.620 --> 34:11.640
in, I, I do have some new Allison prompts that, uh, have just gone into aster sounds that

34:11.640 --> 34:15.820
I, I thought I could share with the, uh, with the group, so whenever you want me to

34:15.820 --> 34:18.020
insert a random Allison sound, just let me know.

34:18.160 --> 34:19.000
All right, cool, yeah.

34:19.420 --> 34:25.540
We, we'll do two more emails, and then we have, um, we have a caller holding on the line,

34:25.540 --> 34:26.060
so.

34:26.340 --> 34:26.700
Okay.

34:27.340 --> 34:27.820
Let's see.

34:28.360 --> 34:28.700
Hello.

34:28.820 --> 34:31.400
Or if you want, just sort of, just fire the random, uh, stuff back in.

34:31.500 --> 34:34.180
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

34:34.180 --> 34:39.740
Our next email, our next email, our next email is from someone named F, and, uh, he says,

34:39.820 --> 34:40.540
hello, bin revolutionaries.

34:41.560 --> 34:45.220
Your show brings me great joy on a weekly basis, and the most interesting aspect, apart from

34:45.220 --> 34:49.500
hearing the insults and puns, is discovering new and old programs with an in-depth perspective.

34:50.080 --> 34:51.400
I wanted to tell you this in person,

34:51.520 --> 34:53.780
so I tried your call-in line from a Canadian payphone

34:53.780 --> 34:56.160
to test out your number yesterday while waiting for the bus.

34:56.540 --> 34:58.140
It sounds like it won't go through from here

34:58.140 --> 35:00.180
unless your number is only active during your showtime.

35:00.600 --> 35:03.380
Can you guys get a Skype or other form of VoIP access to call in?

35:03.820 --> 35:05.680
You would hope number six this summer, F.

35:06.740 --> 35:07.500
Well, okay.

35:07.640 --> 35:10.100
Strom, I think this is thoroughly in your jurisdiction,

35:10.320 --> 35:11.520
so I'll just let you answer this one.

35:11.560 --> 35:13.460
The 888 number does not work from Canada.

35:13.460 --> 35:15.920
That's why we have the 213 number for you guys to call in.

35:15.920 --> 35:19.240
I'll actually fetch at my IP provider

35:19.240 --> 35:21.500
and see if I can't get them to open it up to calls from Canada.

35:22.680 --> 35:27.540
And as far as a VoIP call-in, I guess I can experiment with those,

35:27.660 --> 35:31.200
but I guess what I'll end up doing is we'll have, like,

35:31.220 --> 35:34.200
the main call-in number for our listeners in the continental U.S.,

35:34.200 --> 35:37.640
and then we'll have a page you can go to

35:37.640 --> 35:40.500
to see all the other call-in numbers or all the other call-in options.

35:42.820 --> 35:45.180
We should, like, get, like, a call-in number from, like, every country.

35:45.180 --> 35:46.340
You should get, like, one from...

35:46.340 --> 35:47.480
Because there's, like, free...

35:47.480 --> 35:50.720
There's free DID providers in, like, all kinds of crazy countries in Europe.

35:51.080 --> 35:53.160
If you're in a Zergevon, come home.

35:55.220 --> 35:57.520
Well, like, how many does...

35:57.520 --> 35:59.120
You know who we're talking about.

35:59.220 --> 36:00.680
The man with the 15 numbers.

36:01.100 --> 36:02.360
I guess we can drop his name on the air.

36:02.920 --> 36:05.660
You know, how many numbers does Bill have on his computer?

36:06.080 --> 36:07.560
Oh, I forget how many numbers Bill has.

36:07.680 --> 36:09.280
Yeah, he has, he has, like...

36:09.280 --> 36:12.180
A friend that we know has about...

36:12.180 --> 36:19.280
I gotta say, he has probably around 20 free DIDs on his asterisk box.

36:19.920 --> 36:20.780
And it's from...

36:20.780 --> 36:21.840
He has, like, stuff from Italy.

36:22.360 --> 36:24.300
He has a number from Poland, one from Germany.

36:24.520 --> 36:27.000
I believe he actually has one from the UK, if I'm not mistaken.

36:27.860 --> 36:28.840
But, um, just...

36:28.840 --> 36:30.620
He has, like, phone numbers from everywhere.

36:30.780 --> 36:32.640
It's amazing what kind of DIDs you can get.

36:33.740 --> 36:37.060
So, I assume one from Canada has to be around there from someplace.

36:37.060 --> 36:40.580
Our, our, our wonderful neighbors from the north.

36:40.900 --> 36:41.300
Oh, yes.

36:42.260 --> 36:42.780
All right.

36:43.600 --> 36:44.180
Next one.

36:44.780 --> 36:46.680
Hey, guys, I have two things to say.

36:47.160 --> 36:50.300
In the chemistry portion of episode 133, you mentioned BR.

36:50.960 --> 36:51.940
It's bromine.

36:52.340 --> 36:55.320
It becomes bromide when it forms a compound with a metal element.

36:55.740 --> 36:59.060
That is called binary molecular compound because it consists of two elements.

36:59.540 --> 37:01.700
Without chemistry teachers, my chemistry teacher is great.

37:01.700 --> 37:05.240
I suspect that he is an alcoholic because he has a box of Smirnoff in his room.

37:06.380 --> 37:06.700
Nice.

37:07.220 --> 37:08.140
Woo-hoo, Smirnoff!

37:09.300 --> 37:11.140
I, I like Grey Goose, but, uh...

37:11.140 --> 37:13.880
Anyway, on episode 132, you guys mentioned a Yugo.

37:14.280 --> 37:18.940
It was very out of context, but I was surprised that anyone outside of Eastern Europe would know about them.

37:19.380 --> 37:22.840
Of course, I know about them because I grew up in Eastern Europe and my family actually had one.

37:23.180 --> 37:24.140
It was a pretty good car.

37:24.720 --> 37:25.940
I also have one question.

37:26.100 --> 37:30.120
I have heard that some people give away hardware such as hard drives, servers, cameras, etc.

37:30.120 --> 37:31.420
for people in the scene.

37:32.000 --> 37:35.100
Do you know if anyone is interested in donating hardware to people who do free media,

37:35.100 --> 37:38.400
such as your show, Hack TV, or my show, Broken Floppy TV?

37:38.900 --> 37:40.960
If so, can you please hook me up with some links?

37:41.380 --> 37:41.980
Thanks, guys.

37:42.100 --> 37:43.180
Keep up the great work.

37:43.980 --> 37:44.580
Not signed.

37:44.580 --> 37:49.300
Personally, I've heard of you.

37:49.400 --> 37:51.360
I think you've heard of a Yugo, right, haven't you, Strom?

37:51.840 --> 37:52.520
I think I, yeah.

37:52.580 --> 37:54.860
I actually saw one on the street in Vegas one time.

37:55.740 --> 37:57.380
I've never actually seen one in person.

37:58.480 --> 38:01.460
Well, if you want to see what they look like, go rent Drowning Muna.

38:01.460 --> 38:06.360
Yes, yes, that's the only place I have ever seen one.

38:06.420 --> 38:08.260
I've seen it in that movie.

38:10.420 --> 38:14.000
I wasn't going to admit watching it, but I guess if you brought it up, it's okay.

38:18.320 --> 38:23.260
I mean, I've never actually seen one in person, but they're very infamous for just sucking.

38:23.520 --> 38:25.920
They're sort of like, you know, the Eastern European version of the Pinto.

38:25.920 --> 38:32.700
If I remember correctly, I was making the case that, basically, I just think I made the case that

38:32.700 --> 38:35.780
something sucked and I used the Yugo as a comparison tool.

38:37.040 --> 38:38.980
Still, people have heard about them.

38:39.100 --> 38:40.460
It's not too uncommon.

38:41.540 --> 38:45.560
Yeah, they were sold in the U.S. from, like, 86 until the early 90s, I think.

38:46.740 --> 38:47.180
Exploded.

38:48.740 --> 38:51.060
Yeah, they did explode, didn't they?

38:51.180 --> 38:52.060
I think they did.

38:52.060 --> 38:56.320
They definitely weren't known for their fine workmanship.

38:59.020 --> 39:03.860
As for the free stuff, personally, I would recommend the free stuff portion of Craigslist.

39:04.580 --> 39:07.220
That would be craigslist.org.

39:08.300 --> 39:12.560
You can go to your various, it's basically, it's an online WAD ad, and if you haven't heard

39:12.560 --> 39:14.360
of Craigslist, you know, come out of your cave.

39:15.100 --> 39:16.100
Craigslist.org.

39:16.700 --> 39:19.580
Yeah, it's all over the news now.

39:19.580 --> 39:22.880
So, everyone's there, and it's really sad, because it's really going downhill, but we

39:22.880 --> 39:23.420
won't get into that.

39:24.760 --> 39:29.540
Since it's free, it won't be grade A material, but it still will be free, so free is good,

39:29.600 --> 39:29.760
right?

39:31.340 --> 39:36.600
Also, I mean, dumpster diving is always overlooked when people want free stuff.

39:37.220 --> 39:42.360
Just keep an eye out of company dumpsters, colleges, your CS department at your school.

39:43.600 --> 39:45.940
Dumpster diving is always a good place to find stuff.

39:45.940 --> 39:50.720
It's going to need some tender, loving care, but you can definitely do it.

39:51.880 --> 39:59.260
I mean, I picked up a nice little Deck Alpha out of my university, and various forms of

39:59.260 --> 40:02.900
other pieces of interesting hardware that I really don't remember much about now, but

40:02.900 --> 40:04.460
at the time, they were very cool.

40:04.720 --> 40:06.320
Of course, this was 1999 or so.

40:06.320 --> 40:12.260
Yeah, well, I love using the free stuff section when I have something that is too nice to

40:12.260 --> 40:17.280
dump, but too crappy to sell, and I don't want to take it all the way down to Goodwill,

40:17.360 --> 40:19.620
so I just put it on Craigslist, and then they come to me.

40:19.700 --> 40:20.140
It's awesome.

40:21.080 --> 40:21.360
Yes.

40:22.340 --> 40:24.060
All right, we've got...

40:24.060 --> 40:28.220
I always do the Salvation Army route myself, but I don't think we have a Goodwill up here.

40:28.920 --> 40:30.100
Oh, yeah, what's your caller?

40:30.280 --> 40:33.200
The Goodwill is closer to me than the Salvation Army, so...

40:33.200 --> 40:35.280
Anyway, we have MDCowboy on the line.

40:35.280 --> 40:36.160
Hello, MDCowboy.

40:37.020 --> 40:39.460
Hello, Strom, and...

40:39.460 --> 40:39.860
Yeah.

40:40.760 --> 40:43.160
So you had a question for Mark, didn't you?

40:43.840 --> 40:44.240
Yes.

40:44.500 --> 40:46.560
I was wondering, do you actually...

40:46.560 --> 40:49.140
I suppose...

40:49.140 --> 40:53.120
Do you actually get down and dirty with Asterisk and game, or do you just lead it, or what?

40:54.120 --> 40:58.640
Well, I haven't worked on games since, like, 98, 99...

40:58.640 --> 40:59.140
Yeah.

40:59.380 --> 41:02.160
...as a developer, but I do...

41:02.160 --> 41:04.400
I still do development on Asterisk, certainly.

41:05.940 --> 41:06.660
And...

41:06.660 --> 41:11.060
I do a lot of the driver stuff.

41:11.900 --> 41:14.000
I still do some of the features.

41:14.480 --> 41:17.460
I did the video voicemail stuff most recently.

41:18.020 --> 41:19.920
I did support for H.264.

41:20.460 --> 41:22.340
I did a bunch of Meet Me stuff.

41:22.340 --> 41:28.120
And a lot of people don't know it, but I'm actually very involved in the design of the Digium hardware, too.

41:29.060 --> 41:32.320
So, like, the TDM 2400 was sort of my brainchild.

41:33.160 --> 41:39.160
Yeah, I remember you told me about that card, like, months before it came out, and I wasn't allowed to tell us all.

41:40.240 --> 41:40.700
That's right.

41:40.700 --> 41:43.740
So, what, you do hardware hacking, too?

41:44.540 --> 41:44.880
Yeah.

41:45.580 --> 41:47.480
Yeah, but mainly digital stuff.

41:47.520 --> 41:48.820
I'm not really an analog guy.

41:49.520 --> 41:51.160
So, I tend to...

41:51.160 --> 41:57.040
My hardware designs tend to be very indicative of the fact that I'm a computer programmer,

41:57.400 --> 41:59.420
because they tend to be very software-centric.

41:59.420 --> 42:11.480
And I'm a big fan of VHDL, and use it very extensively to really do sort of odd things.

42:14.260 --> 42:17.440
I'm sorry to say I have no clue what the heck you're talking about.

42:17.520 --> 42:18.040
VHDL.

42:18.040 --> 42:21.880
Oh, VHDL is this hardware description language.

42:21.880 --> 42:28.340
And there's also Verilog, which is also very popular, kind of a Python versus Perl kind of thing.

42:29.740 --> 42:37.280
And, basically, it lets you describe a circuit in something that looks sort of like a programming language,

42:37.400 --> 42:40.620
and then you use special parts called CPLDs or FPGAs.

42:40.920 --> 42:45.820
And then it creates this digital circuit that you've described inside of the part.

42:47.260 --> 42:49.200
Ooh, I'm looking at that.

42:49.200 --> 42:51.600
But, that sounds...

42:51.600 --> 42:53.480
Maybe I can design hardware.

42:53.600 --> 42:54.680
Maybe there's hope for me yet.

42:55.040 --> 42:58.940
Just sort of make it as a programming language, and you can do it.

42:59.340 --> 43:02.800
Well, I've been working on my solder foo recently, so...

43:02.800 --> 43:03.120
Yeah.

43:03.280 --> 43:05.360
I can't solder for the life of me.

43:06.640 --> 43:07.840
I never used to be able to.

43:07.920 --> 43:09.180
I guess it's a learned art.

43:10.100 --> 43:11.800
I don't have steady hands.

43:11.840 --> 43:12.440
That's my issue.

43:12.760 --> 43:13.400
Ooh, yeah.

43:14.020 --> 43:14.800
That'll kill you.

43:14.800 --> 43:20.320
Didn't you have another question, Cowboy, about the...

43:20.320 --> 43:24.640
Please listen carefully, as absolutely none of our options have changed.

43:26.880 --> 43:30.840
I couldn't resist.

43:33.080 --> 43:34.080
Yes, uh...

43:34.080 --> 43:36.920
There was a moment of silence, and I thought I would break it.

43:37.600 --> 43:38.040
Nice.

43:38.280 --> 43:39.040
Very nice.

43:39.040 --> 43:42.000
Okay, Cowboy, I'm sorry.

43:42.120 --> 43:42.320
Go ahead.

43:42.440 --> 43:43.140
What was your other question?

43:43.260 --> 43:43.420
Yes.

43:43.660 --> 43:47.960
My other question was, since you do actually do programming, I suppose you use some kind

43:47.960 --> 43:49.220
of Linux distribution.

43:49.380 --> 43:50.440
I was wondering what you use.

43:51.060 --> 43:51.340
Oh.

43:51.480 --> 43:51.660
Oh.

43:52.880 --> 43:54.680
You're going to be so disappointed.

43:55.040 --> 43:56.260
I can already tell.

43:56.360 --> 43:57.500
I hope you're sitting down for this.

43:58.400 --> 44:00.700
No, I am a proud Fedora user.

44:00.700 --> 44:05.860
Uh, and I am about the only technical person at Digium that runs Fedora.

44:06.480 --> 44:13.000
Everybody else basically runs Gen2 or something other than Fedora.

44:13.480 --> 44:15.860
But, but I'm pretty much a Fedora person.

44:16.780 --> 44:17.020
Yeah.

44:17.360 --> 44:19.500
I tried that Fedora junk.

44:22.340 --> 44:23.600
That's all I can say.

44:24.660 --> 44:27.040
Well, no, Bill uses Fedora, too, so.

44:27.960 --> 44:28.880
Yeah, well, he does.

44:28.880 --> 44:30.000
He's pretty Linux-y, so.

44:31.700 --> 44:35.520
Well, the thing that, you know, Gen2 is real popular here.

44:36.800 --> 44:43.440
And when I was in London, I took out the, a bunch of Gen2 developers, and we got rather

44:43.440 --> 44:44.900
trashed on, not very much sleep.

44:44.960 --> 44:48.800
But anyway, so, you know, I have nothing against Gen2.

44:48.900 --> 44:55.360
But personally, if I'm watching something compile, it better be asterisk, zaptel, or libpri.

44:55.960 --> 44:56.800
You know what I mean?

44:57.580 --> 45:00.160
Those are the things that I want to be watching compile.

45:00.700 --> 45:08.220
Are, like, the Red Hat asterisk, or no Red Hat, Fedora RPMs for asterisk, like, bleeding edge,

45:08.280 --> 45:10.640
because you're just constantly checking it out of CVS and compiling it?

45:11.480 --> 45:14.020
No, I'm not really involved in any of the packaging.

45:14.160 --> 45:15.200
I just use it as my desktop.

45:15.200 --> 45:22.900
Another sort of bizarre thing, those of you who have ever used any of my graphical applications

45:22.900 --> 45:29.300
know that I always write code in using GTK, and that's because I am a big C fan and not

45:29.300 --> 45:30.840
a particularly big fan of C++.

45:30.840 --> 45:34.140
But I actually do run KDE as my desktop.

45:35.300 --> 45:35.660
Really?

45:36.000 --> 45:37.520
See, that's something I didn't expect.

45:38.480 --> 45:38.760
Yes.

45:39.160 --> 45:42.800
So I run my GT, I love writing GTK apps and running them under KDE.

45:44.340 --> 45:46.040
You just like pain, don't you?

45:46.860 --> 45:47.180
Yeah.

45:47.420 --> 45:47.660
You like Fedora.

45:48.160 --> 45:50.640
You like running GTK under KDE.

45:50.640 --> 45:54.500
Hey, maybe we can bring them to the bondage ball this weekend in Los Angeles.

45:57.160 --> 45:57.760
Oh, God.

45:57.760 --> 45:59.640
I can bring that cat of 25 pair.

46:00.340 --> 46:02.980
Oh, the cat of 25 pair, yeah.

46:04.440 --> 46:06.940
Yeah, I'll bring my cat of 25 pair.

46:10.440 --> 46:12.080
Oh, man.

46:12.280 --> 46:13.540
You heard it here for us.

46:13.760 --> 46:19.380
Not only does Mark Spencer run Fedora, he also runs KDE, but develops GTK apps under it.

46:19.380 --> 46:21.960
That's correct.

46:22.280 --> 46:23.440
These are the good questions.

46:23.520 --> 46:24.840
These are good questions right here.

46:25.640 --> 46:28.200
How do I make asterisk answer in my phone?

46:28.440 --> 46:30.500
Oh, hey, Mark, how do I make asterisk answer in my phone?

46:31.360 --> 46:32.080
Yeah, I knew that was coming.

46:33.240 --> 46:34.160
No, I'm just kidding.

46:34.840 --> 46:35.300
All right, cool.

46:35.440 --> 46:36.180
Do you have any more questions?

46:36.860 --> 46:38.440
Goodbye, Digium Tech Support.

46:38.600 --> 46:39.080
Wink, wink.

46:42.720 --> 46:46.480
Do you have any more questions for us or for Mark, MDCowboy?

46:47.600 --> 46:48.360
Not really.

46:49.380 --> 46:50.000
Well, sweet.

46:50.940 --> 46:51.100
All right.

46:51.100 --> 46:54.760
Well, hey, what does the MD stand for in your name?

46:54.800 --> 46:55.620
I have a question for you.

46:55.620 --> 46:58.000
Well, yeah, I was kind of thinking about that, too.

46:58.160 --> 46:58.560
I don't know.

46:58.660 --> 47:02.560
I was just kind of like modern-day cowboy because I live out on the couch on a farm and whatnot.

47:02.620 --> 47:04.240
I thought you were a giant mini-disc fan.

47:05.340 --> 47:08.920
No, I'd rather go with the CD.

47:10.840 --> 47:12.060
And I like Mountain Dew.

47:12.060 --> 47:21.620
I just got this image of him now, you know, riding on one of those automatic bucking bronco things and going, yee-haw, 8-track 3.

47:23.620 --> 47:38.580
Actually, when I was at Linux World out in, I guess it was in San Francisco, the last one, I was amazed to see that there was a company there that had like a 20-by-20, and there was not actually a booth.

47:38.580 --> 47:42.360
All there was was a mechanical bull and some pliers.

47:43.100 --> 47:43.860
That was Black Dog.

47:44.100 --> 47:45.300
Yeah, it was Black Dog.

47:45.960 --> 47:48.000
But I guess it worked because Matt remembers them.

47:48.880 --> 47:50.080
Hey, that's what it is.

47:50.080 --> 47:52.140
I mean, that's what marketing is right there.

47:52.440 --> 47:52.680
Mm-hmm.

47:54.060 --> 47:55.420
You've got to get people to remember you.

47:56.380 --> 47:56.600
Yeah.

47:57.400 --> 48:04.600
Well, we'll give MD a nice little prompt here, you know, so for thanks.

48:05.880 --> 48:11.800
All our agents are busy reprogramming the phone system to make sure you can never actually reach them.

48:16.600 --> 48:17.620
I love that one.

48:17.620 --> 48:17.940
Asterisk is fun.

48:18.340 --> 48:19.240
Asterisk is fun.

48:20.080 --> 48:22.680
I didn't even remember that.

48:23.740 --> 48:29.020
We've got to send that clip, Hello, Noobs, back to the gym.

48:29.640 --> 48:30.240
Oh, man.

48:30.440 --> 48:31.640
Oh, that would be awesome.

48:32.760 --> 48:32.960
Yeah.

48:33.140 --> 48:35.300
Oh, no, I don't think I ever told you this, Mark.

48:35.460 --> 48:35.640
No.

48:35.640 --> 48:44.440
During our asterisk talk at DEFCON, we had a demonstration of the different ways you can get voice prompts into asterisk.

48:44.440 --> 48:51.220
So we had the three ways were record them yourself, do some sort of text-to-speech, or have Alice and Smith record them for you.

48:51.220 --> 48:56.380
So we had kind of like the, what was it, the speak-and-say?

48:57.160 --> 48:59.220
Yeah, I called it speak-and-say-A-G-I.

48:59.440 --> 49:00.600
Yeah, speak-and-say-A-G-I.

49:00.600 --> 49:03.160
Okay, so the first one, it says, Black Ratchet.

49:03.380 --> 49:03.520
Yeah.

49:03.960 --> 49:08.260
So the first one, it goes, Black Ratchet says, Asterisk is cool.

49:09.260 --> 49:09.460
Yeah.

49:09.820 --> 49:11.080
I think an asterisk is fun.

49:11.220 --> 49:11.420
Yeah.

49:11.560 --> 49:12.600
Asterisk is fun or something.

49:12.600 --> 49:12.760
Yeah.

49:12.760 --> 49:18.100
And then the second one says, Cepstrol says, Oh, baby, give it to me.

49:18.280 --> 49:18.540
Yes.

49:18.860 --> 49:19.100
Yes.

49:19.480 --> 49:19.720
Yes.

49:21.680 --> 49:26.600
And the third one is, Alice and Smith says, Hello, noobs.

49:29.480 --> 49:30.860
I'm trying to find it.

49:30.900 --> 49:31.520
I used to have it.

49:32.020 --> 49:32.160
Yeah.

49:32.460 --> 49:35.960
Actually, one of my ideas was actually, I always wanted to make a Cepstrol sex hotline.

49:36.160 --> 49:37.720
And they'll have like, you know, 1-800-Cepstrol.

49:37.840 --> 49:38.440
Oh, no.

49:40.500 --> 49:41.820
It's like just Iron Bay.

49:41.820 --> 49:43.760
Oh, that's so awesome.

49:44.120 --> 49:47.420
Well, you know, they've actually just released a new version of their stop,

49:47.520 --> 49:51.500
and we're hoping to have some official asterisk packages of it soon.

49:52.320 --> 49:52.480
Oh, cool.

49:53.260 --> 49:55.140
But they've got some new voices in there.

49:55.620 --> 49:59.400
They've got a whisper voice and something else.

49:59.460 --> 50:02.460
They have some other new voices that are available, so.

50:04.100 --> 50:04.840
That's cool.

50:05.360 --> 50:05.840
Awesome.

50:07.260 --> 50:09.560
Well, hey, MDCowboy, thanks for calling in.

50:10.540 --> 50:10.940
Indeed.

50:12.820 --> 50:14.920
This is your first time listening, isn't it?

50:15.760 --> 50:17.260
Oh, yes, it actually is.

50:17.460 --> 50:20.800
I'm kind of new around this BinRev website.

50:20.900 --> 50:21.200
Awesome.

50:21.420 --> 50:22.880
Well, we hope you...

50:22.880 --> 50:25.440
Where are you located, if you don't mind saying?

50:26.320 --> 50:27.880
I am in Indiana.

50:28.420 --> 50:28.920
Sweet.

50:29.120 --> 50:29.780
Okay, cool.

50:30.160 --> 50:31.220
Gary, Indiana.

50:31.360 --> 50:33.340
We're in Alabama.

50:35.080 --> 50:35.720
Alabama.

50:35.720 --> 50:39.980
That's what everybody says.

50:41.980 --> 50:43.700
That's how much fat is in here.

50:43.760 --> 50:44.840
Hello, noobs.

50:45.480 --> 50:46.040
There we go.

50:48.100 --> 50:49.280
You've got to send me that.

50:49.340 --> 50:50.080
That's awesome.

50:50.080 --> 50:54.640
I have to ask someone permission, because that's where I get it from.

50:54.720 --> 50:58.600
And I'd just like to send a shout-out to Doug once again for sending that to me.

50:58.760 --> 50:59.300
Thank you, Doug.

51:00.880 --> 51:01.660
Well, sweet.

51:01.780 --> 51:03.740
Thank you, MDCowboy.

51:03.800 --> 51:04.680
Thank you for calling in.

51:04.780 --> 51:07.720
Hope to hear more from you in the future.

51:08.620 --> 51:08.980
Yeah.

51:09.920 --> 51:10.280
Sweet.

51:10.280 --> 51:13.220
Have a good evening, man.

51:13.780 --> 51:14.320
Yeah, man.

51:14.340 --> 51:14.700
You too.

51:14.880 --> 51:15.200
See ya.

51:15.460 --> 51:15.780
See ya.

51:16.020 --> 51:16.300
See ya.

51:17.820 --> 51:18.600
All right.

51:19.300 --> 51:22.600
So, we're moving on to personal hacking stories now.

51:23.580 --> 51:27.860
Is the other person still there, or...

51:27.860 --> 51:28.600
Which other person?

51:28.720 --> 51:30.040
Oh, on the call-in number?

51:30.680 --> 51:30.980
Yeah.

51:31.540 --> 51:32.780
Yeah, let me take a look.

51:32.780 --> 51:35.360
Well, I guess you guys talk amongst yourselves for the time to be.

51:35.740 --> 51:35.960
Yes.

51:36.180 --> 51:37.200
I'll give you a topic.

51:37.840 --> 51:39.400
A guinea pig is either a guinea nor a pig.

51:41.160 --> 51:42.320
Thank you, Strom.

51:44.160 --> 51:47.280
Yes, the entire point of the Hello Noobs was...

51:48.060 --> 51:49.280
We partially...

51:50.140 --> 51:51.120
We wanted...

51:51.120 --> 51:51.960
Not we.

51:52.080 --> 51:54.420
Doug wanted to get Allison Smith to say that,

51:54.480 --> 51:57.320
and basically he had to come down, write out the text,

51:57.440 --> 51:59.560
and then had to write it out all phonetically for her.

52:01.080 --> 52:03.280
Which was very interesting on my thing,

52:04.000 --> 52:07.460
because, you know, we're just used to all saying all these type of crazy terminology,

52:07.460 --> 52:10.940
but when you actually get someone who's not used to speaking it,

52:11.020 --> 52:13.460
it's kind of interesting talking about it.

52:15.540 --> 52:22.160
But Allison Smith came through and recorded this wonderful intro for the voice bridge that we were on.

52:22.820 --> 52:24.120
That was running on asterisk.

52:27.000 --> 52:27.480
Cool.

52:27.480 --> 52:31.980
Yes, and apparently, uh, Strom is interviewing the heck out of these people.

52:34.800 --> 52:36.800
Yeah, I guess that other caller hung up.

52:37.600 --> 52:38.200
Oh, what a shame.

52:38.920 --> 52:39.320
All right.

52:39.740 --> 52:41.200
Hey, personal hacking stories time.

52:42.900 --> 52:44.560
We're, like, never going to get to our main topic.

52:44.640 --> 52:45.900
We're already, like, almost an hour in.

52:45.960 --> 52:46.720
We're only on personal hacking stories.

52:46.720 --> 52:49.100
Well, this is sort of very, we're getting Collins,

52:49.240 --> 52:54.500
this is sort of, like, you know, free-flowing with Mark Spencer and the rest of the Elite Digium crew.

52:56.860 --> 52:57.260
Yeah.

52:57.720 --> 53:01.500
You guys are so 31,337, it's not even funny.

53:05.120 --> 53:07.900
You will be connected with the next available agent.

53:08.100 --> 53:12.680
However, if they don't feel the connection, don't expect it to work out.

53:16.720 --> 53:18.740
I love Allison.

53:19.620 --> 53:19.940
Yeah.

53:20.320 --> 53:21.360
And she will say everything.

53:21.600 --> 53:22.980
Well, except for one word.

53:23.060 --> 53:23.940
Except for one word.

53:23.960 --> 53:24.540
Except for one word, yeah.

53:24.700 --> 53:25.880
There is one word.

53:29.600 --> 53:31.780
All right, Strom, what have you been doing this week?

53:32.440 --> 53:35.320
Oh, boy, I have been playing with my new logic analyzer.

53:36.100 --> 53:37.360
You have a logic analyzer?

53:37.560 --> 53:40.120
Yeah, I bought a logic analyzer, a USB logic analyzer,

53:40.120 --> 53:45.780
that I've been using to analyze the connections between a smart card and its reader.

53:46.720 --> 53:47.000
Oh.

53:48.060 --> 53:50.320
So that's been kind of a fun learning experience.

53:50.400 --> 53:52.660
It's like, I've never used a logic analyzer before,

53:52.800 --> 53:56.360
so I've been kind of bashing my head against the wall trying to figure it out.

53:57.220 --> 54:00.540
Last time I used a logic analyzer was 2002 when I was in college,

54:01.040 --> 54:02.660
and I still don't know how to use it, so.

54:04.360 --> 54:12.400
Last time I used a logic analyzer was last night, actually.

54:13.100 --> 54:13.940
About this week.

54:13.940 --> 54:20.200
But I have one of the HP ones.

54:21.460 --> 54:23.040
Oh, HPs are nice.

54:24.000 --> 54:24.300
Yeah.

54:25.000 --> 54:28.440
That was like the best buy I've ever made, actually.

54:28.580 --> 54:35.560
The best buy we've ever made was we bought like a color HP logic analyzer off of eBay

54:35.560 --> 54:36.800
for like $350.

54:37.900 --> 54:40.380
It's like 50 grand new or something like that.

54:40.540 --> 54:41.220
It's like unbelievable.

54:41.220 --> 54:42.300
That's a pretty good skill.

54:42.800 --> 54:43.160
Awesome.

54:43.740 --> 54:44.340
Oh, yeah.

54:44.460 --> 54:48.480
And after we got it, we found out that it actually can connect up to an X Windows server,

54:49.040 --> 54:51.040
and like you can run it entirely remotely.

54:51.520 --> 54:52.160
That was sweet.

54:54.760 --> 54:55.680
That's amazing.

54:55.680 --> 54:59.020
If you're working on something in the lab, like, you know, next building,

54:59.720 --> 55:01.960
you can safely do it from your office.

55:01.960 --> 55:06.320
So when you have that bomb coming in, you know,

55:06.380 --> 55:08.760
you can just sort of hook up the logic analyzer to it,

55:08.820 --> 55:10.660
then pull up an X term from across the street?

55:12.360 --> 55:17.780
Well, yeah, something like that.

55:20.000 --> 55:21.000
Just roll with it, man.

55:21.060 --> 55:21.480
Just roll with it.

55:21.480 --> 55:26.200
Thanks to our friends at the NSA, this call may be recorded or monitored.

55:26.700 --> 55:29.020
In the interests of national security.

55:32.560 --> 55:34.280
Okay, it's time to do that one.

55:35.740 --> 55:39.220
Okay, just these are going into the asterisk distribution, right?

55:39.760 --> 55:44.060
They're already in the asterisk sounds out of SBN trunk.

55:44.920 --> 55:47.120
Oh, I am so grabbing them right after the show.

55:47.920 --> 55:48.120
Yeah.

55:51.960 --> 55:53.860
I feel another one coming on.

55:54.620 --> 55:54.840
Yeah.

55:55.540 --> 55:57.260
Well, just pretty much whatever there's silence.

55:57.380 --> 56:00.500
But I'm trying to, like, let us have a conversation in between

56:00.500 --> 56:04.040
so they're not totally, like, you know, just one after another.

56:04.360 --> 56:04.680
Oh, yeah.

56:04.680 --> 56:08.600
I have to go in for the not funny enough.

56:08.600 --> 56:14.040
So, Mark, what have you been messing around with this week in your personal stuff?

56:15.060 --> 56:16.680
In my personal stuff?

56:17.300 --> 56:17.660
I don't know.

56:17.800 --> 56:18.220
I don't know.

56:18.220 --> 56:22.000
I'm, like, it's so blurred between work and play.

56:22.140 --> 56:22.880
He doesn't leave.

56:23.160 --> 56:25.120
I rarely leave the office, yeah.

56:25.720 --> 56:28.380
Yeah, every time I talk to him, I pull up his webcam, and it's like,

56:28.500 --> 56:29.360
you're at the office?

56:30.260 --> 56:30.620
Yeah.

56:30.860 --> 56:33.100
I'm, like, you're in the conference room.

56:33.160 --> 56:34.480
You can't look at your office right now.

56:34.560 --> 56:34.880
Darn it.

56:35.580 --> 56:37.120
I thought it would be cool that everyone could, like,

56:37.120 --> 56:41.180
look at the Mark Spencer webcam right now and see him live on the radio.

56:41.760 --> 56:45.560
Well, I can walk in there, but the phone would have to stay.

56:45.620 --> 56:45.940
Oh, wait.

56:46.000 --> 56:46.600
No, I can do it.

56:46.640 --> 56:46.920
Hold on.

56:53.920 --> 56:55.560
Wait, is he walking in there now?

56:56.360 --> 56:57.280
Yes, he's in there.

56:57.960 --> 56:59.240
Oh, actually, what's the URL?

56:59.420 --> 56:59.900
I don't even know.

56:59.900 --> 57:01.060
It's marcocam.com.

57:01.520 --> 57:02.680
Marcocam.com, yeah.

57:04.260 --> 57:05.820
Marcocam.com.

57:05.920 --> 57:06.420
There he is.

57:06.420 --> 57:07.620
I see the side of his body.

57:07.620 --> 57:09.140
Yep, I'm right here.

57:09.260 --> 57:09.520
Woo!

57:11.220 --> 57:11.960
There he is.

57:12.600 --> 57:14.700
Yeah, be sure to change the face on the robot.

57:17.280 --> 57:19.520
Let me, let me, re-center it.

57:19.580 --> 57:23.100
Hey, he's wearing his Linus is my homeboy shirt.

57:28.380 --> 57:28.940
He's smiling.

57:28.940 --> 57:31.360
As everyone just sort of flocks to marcocam.com.

57:31.600 --> 57:31.760
Yeah.

57:31.760 --> 57:32.440
Yeah, there you go.

57:32.440 --> 57:36.000
I wonder how many people we actually have listening to our show right now.

57:36.560 --> 57:37.380
That's a good question.

57:38.380 --> 57:39.140
Let's find out.

57:39.320 --> 57:41.660
It's GDP hacking.

57:41.660 --> 57:44.420
So, what have you been working on?

57:46.160 --> 57:47.140
Well, let's see.

57:48.120 --> 57:54.740
I've been working on, let's see, one project that we haven't announced yet, so I can't really

57:54.740 --> 58:01.680
talk about that one, and I've been doing some hacking on the VPN100M, which is part of the,

58:01.720 --> 58:04.540
it's the hardware hacker cancer for the TDM2400P.

58:05.460 --> 58:09.780
And that's been my project so far for the last few days.

58:11.800 --> 58:14.720
And, yeah, that's about, more or less it.

58:15.440 --> 58:19.180
How about hacking on the TDM400 so it's cheaper, so people like I can afford it?

58:20.000 --> 58:20.900
Yeah, I said it.

58:21.340 --> 58:22.500
One of these days.

58:22.500 --> 58:24.860
Oh, man.

58:25.300 --> 58:26.220
Not soon enough.

58:28.260 --> 58:29.280
Well, give it some time.

58:30.080 --> 58:30.300
Nah.

58:30.520 --> 58:31.600
I've been giving it tons of time.

58:31.700 --> 58:32.660
It's been like a year and a half.

58:33.060 --> 58:33.380
Damn it.

58:33.560 --> 58:36.040
Everything's supposed to halve in price every 18 months.

58:36.540 --> 58:37.500
That's what more is.

58:37.500 --> 58:47.220
As for myself, I talked a little bit last week about Suitsat, and also they talked about

58:47.220 --> 58:50.460
it on the, off the hook on 2600.

58:51.900 --> 58:58.880
Suitsat, Suitsat, I wouldn't say it failed miserably, but it definitely did not function.

58:58.880 --> 58:59.480
But it failed happily.

59:00.240 --> 59:01.420
It failed happily, yes.

59:01.900 --> 59:03.840
It was a learning experience.

59:03.960 --> 59:06.120
That's how people try to pass off failure.

59:06.520 --> 59:07.800
Oh, it was a learning experience.

59:09.640 --> 59:15.780
Suitsat got shoved out of the airlock on Friday, I'm not sure what the date was, last Friday

59:15.780 --> 59:20.260
at 5 p.m. Eastern, and for two orbits, it worked like a charm.

59:20.620 --> 59:25.980
And fortunately, I believe those two orbits really, it was a majority of ocean when it

59:25.980 --> 59:26.400
went over.

59:26.960 --> 59:31.080
And after those two orbits, they couldn't hear it anymore, which was very disappointing,

59:31.200 --> 59:31.940
and they thought it died.

59:31.940 --> 59:36.920
But as of right now, actually, I'm going to go pull up the website, and I'll just make

59:36.920 --> 59:37.780
sure that it's still working.

59:37.980 --> 59:43.840
It's transmitting, however, it's transmitting very weakly, and unless you have a very good

59:43.840 --> 59:50.140
antenna, you are not going to hear it, or you are unlikely to hear it.

59:51.740 --> 59:51.920
Yeah.

59:53.620 --> 59:54.940
And actually, you can...

59:55.760 --> 59:56.120
Hey!

59:56.440 --> 59:58.200
Get your hand out of the Red Bull fridge!

59:59.460 --> 59:59.840
Right.

01:00:00.300 --> 01:00:00.740
Okay.

01:00:00.740 --> 01:00:00.800
Okay.

01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:04.800
We're going to have a Mark Spencer soundboard after this.

01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:08.900
It is still orbiting.

01:00:09.080 --> 01:00:11.100
Apparently, what it is, is I'm just going to...

01:00:11.100 --> 01:00:18.020
The original frequency you're supposed to listen to it on was 145.99 megahertz, but actually

01:00:18.020 --> 01:00:24.100
what they're doing on the International Space Station is they are rebroadcasting it on 437.8

01:00:24.100 --> 01:00:27.540
megahertz, which is the downlink for the International Space Station.

01:00:27.540 --> 01:00:34.860
So, you are going to be able to hear it, hopefully, maybe, we hope.

01:00:34.860 --> 01:00:42.900
Just listen to it over the next couple of days, because I believe the actual time frame was they

01:00:42.900 --> 01:00:47.720
expected it to last was about a week, but we don't know exactly what's going to happen

01:00:47.720 --> 01:00:51.620
with it, because everything's sort of gone out the window, because it started failing.

01:00:52.580 --> 01:00:56.520
So, they expect to have another one out in 2007, so hopefully that one will work well.

01:00:56.520 --> 01:01:00.820
Uh, they actually think what happened was the batteries froze, or possibly something came

01:01:00.820 --> 01:01:02.900
loose inside this, uh, space suit.

01:01:03.260 --> 01:01:06.160
Are they going to try and retrieve it and do, uh, forensics on it?

01:01:06.160 --> 01:01:08.660
Um, no, it's going to burn up in the atmosphere.

01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:09.440
Oh, charming.

01:01:10.040 --> 01:01:12.600
And if it lands in your, um, front yard, hey, you get to keep it.

01:01:13.200 --> 01:01:13.480
Yay!

01:01:13.660 --> 01:01:14.520
Free Russian space suit.

01:01:16.560 --> 01:01:18.400
Or a pre-Russian space cinder.

01:01:19.340 --> 01:01:19.700
Yes.

01:01:21.040 --> 01:01:26.040
No, as of two hours ago, it is still transmitting, just so you know, and this was, uh, that would

01:01:26.040 --> 01:01:30.080
be 8.31 p.m. Eastern, and it was picked up by someone in Europe, I believe.

01:01:30.080 --> 01:01:38.000
Um, suitsat.org is actually, they have, they've plotted it all out on the, uh, on the map, and

01:01:38.000 --> 01:01:40.440
who's here in it, and who hasn't, and all that kind of wonderful stuff.

01:01:41.040 --> 01:01:42.960
So, and it is.

01:01:43.380 --> 01:01:47.580
Um, the other thing that I've been working on is I've been working on, um, wonderful GIS

01:01:47.580 --> 01:01:51.080
mapping with, uh, on Windows, which is always fun.

01:01:51.620 --> 01:01:53.400
And I, I just want to plug this project.

01:01:53.580 --> 01:01:57.080
It's, uh, tinyurl.com slash 876bravo7.

01:01:57.080 --> 01:02:01.920
I, I lightly mentioned it last week, but we were sort of rushed for time, so I, I plowed

01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:02.500
right through it.

01:02:03.140 --> 01:02:08.820
Um, it's called Sharp Map, and it's basically, it's this, it's this one guy out in Germany,

01:02:08.920 --> 01:02:11.960
and I believe, I, I believe actually he's younger than me, which is kind of depressing.

01:02:12.520 --> 01:02:18.160
Um, and basically he has wrote, written this open source GIS, uh, library for .NET and C

01:02:18.160 --> 01:02:22.000
Sharp, uh, for Windows all by himself, which is just absolutely amazing.

01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:26.720
And, and it's, it's, it's just a wonderful project, and it made a lot of things that

01:02:26.720 --> 01:02:31.740
I needed to do insanely easier than I thought they would be, and I, I just want to send shouts

01:02:31.740 --> 01:02:32.200
out to them.

01:02:33.280 --> 01:02:38.320
And I've actually, I, I, I've sort of become the default op into their, uh, IRC channel,

01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:40.240
because I'm the only one there 24-7.

01:02:40.660 --> 01:02:44.480
So basically I'm the one who keeps the, uh, little at symbol by his name the entire time.

01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:51.400
So, that would be, uh, it's, uh, Sharp Map, uh, take a look at it.

01:02:51.480 --> 01:02:55.060
If you're very interested, if you ever want to map in Windows, or do some type of mapping

01:02:55.060 --> 01:02:59.640
or statistical analysis via GIS, uh, just look at that library, it's pretty good.

01:03:00.220 --> 01:03:01.680
And those are the two things that I've been doing.

01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:06.000
I actually need to, uh, listen to a suitsat pass on that other frequency, Ian.

01:03:09.340 --> 01:03:09.700
Cool.

01:03:10.020 --> 01:03:10.820
So I think in the...

01:03:10.820 --> 01:03:13.060
So now, now we're actually getting into specific show topics.

01:03:13.060 --> 01:03:15.420
Yeah, with only 25 minutes left to go on the show.

01:03:16.140 --> 01:03:18.320
We've only weaved in and out of it the entire night.

01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:19.020
Yeah, we have.

01:03:19.100 --> 01:03:23.420
Uh, actually we have, we do have one more phone call, which is completely off topic.

01:03:24.020 --> 01:03:24.740
So do you want to take it?

01:03:24.740 --> 01:03:25.420
Can we take it out of the way first?

01:03:25.640 --> 01:03:26.360
Yeah, sure, why not?

01:03:26.500 --> 01:03:28.060
Eh, okay, I'll see if it's still there.

01:03:30.660 --> 01:03:31.500
See, and run.

01:03:33.440 --> 01:03:34.960
So yeah, suitsat's fun.

01:03:35.140 --> 01:03:39.100
Um, I, I, I'm, I'm really hoping that I'm going to hear it before it actually, you know,

01:03:39.160 --> 01:03:39.660
goes dead.

01:03:39.660 --> 01:03:43.520
Because I, I, I basically got out at 10 a.m.

01:03:43.520 --> 01:03:46.180
And I listened to, uh, I had to wake up early on Saturday.

01:03:46.240 --> 01:03:46.920
I was very disappointed.

01:03:47.780 --> 01:03:53.380
And, um, I, I sat out in my car with my, my mount antenna and I listened for it and heard

01:03:53.380 --> 01:03:53.680
nothing.

01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:55.260
And I was very depressed.

01:03:56.260 --> 01:04:01.180
But if they're, um, what, but what basically the, the new frequency that I gave out is the,

01:04:01.180 --> 01:04:05.500
uh, International Space Station is listening for it and also retransmitting it on a different

01:04:05.500 --> 01:04:09.940
frequency, so their transmitter is more powerful and they're only like two miles away from

01:04:09.940 --> 01:04:10.520
it in space.

01:04:10.680 --> 01:04:14.180
So they should be able to hear it better than anyone off on the ground could.

01:04:15.500 --> 01:04:18.620
Um, good stuff.

01:04:19.680 --> 01:04:26.860
So, in the interest of better customer service, this call, ah, hell, listen, if we were interested

01:04:26.860 --> 01:04:29.860
in better customer service, you wouldn't be listening to a recording.

01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:32.120
Ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:37.680
I wonder if anyone actually uses these out in the field.

01:04:39.080 --> 01:04:42.700
Well, actually, that was the topic of one of my, my talks.

01:04:43.700 --> 01:04:48.980
Because, um, we didn't used to use Voice of IP for our incoming 800 number.

01:04:48.980 --> 01:04:53.040
We used TDM for that because, like a lot of people, we were just afraid of using Voice

01:04:53.040 --> 01:04:56.320
of IP across the wide open internet in a real business environment.

01:04:57.000 --> 01:05:02.620
And then one day, someone discovered an extension, uh, on our, on our phone system.

01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:10.140
Uh, and, actually, let me see if I can play it for you.

01:05:10.520 --> 01:05:14.720
I, I hadn't planned on it, but, I'll play it for you.

01:05:14.840 --> 01:05:15.240
Hold on.

01:05:15.240 --> 01:05:21.720
And then, it'll be like, you know, Mark, Mark Spencer's Pornhouse After Hours.

01:05:22.680 --> 01:05:23.400
Let's see here.

01:05:23.460 --> 01:05:24.720
Hold on just one sec.

01:05:24.780 --> 01:05:26.720
I'm going to try to do this.

01:05:26.860 --> 01:05:27.520
Let's see here.

01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:33.440
Hmm, oops.

01:05:34.560 --> 01:05:35.360
It should be two.

01:05:40.420 --> 01:05:42.660
You're listening to Typing Radio Live.

01:05:42.680 --> 01:05:43.640
Thank you for holding.

01:05:43.640 --> 01:05:46.260
Your call is very important to us.

01:05:46.600 --> 01:05:47.780
Please stay on the line.

01:05:48.180 --> 01:05:51.040
You are the, I'm sorry.

01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:53.000
You're not the next caller in line.

01:05:53.380 --> 01:05:59.580
In fact, you are so far down the list, it's actually likely that we won't get to your call

01:05:59.580 --> 01:06:00.100
today.

01:06:01.080 --> 01:06:05.940
The next human voice that you might hear on the other end of this line is probably going

01:06:05.940 --> 01:06:10.020
to be the cleaning lady at 11 o'clock tonight, noticing the phone is off the hook.

01:06:10.020 --> 01:06:15.060
She'll pick up and go, hello, and that's, that's the best we'll do for you today.

01:06:15.160 --> 01:06:15.660
I'm sorry.

01:06:15.780 --> 01:06:16.940
I have to be honest with you.

01:06:17.500 --> 01:06:19.620
You are not the next caller in line.

01:06:20.120 --> 01:06:20.900
Hang up now.

01:06:21.540 --> 01:06:22.360
Live your life.

01:06:22.700 --> 01:06:23.900
Spend time with your children.

01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:26.440
Don't stay on hold.

01:06:26.440 --> 01:06:30.280
You are not the next caller in line.

01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:32.560
I love that one.

01:06:33.100 --> 01:06:35.820
I was mouthing the words along with that as you played it.

01:06:35.820 --> 01:06:42.500
And so, with that prompt, someone sent out one of those emails that people on ALL tend

01:06:42.500 --> 01:06:43.740
to forward to, like, everybody.

01:06:44.460 --> 01:06:48.180
And those people would, in turn, call their friends and tell them to call our toll-free

01:06:48.180 --> 01:06:49.640
number and dial that extension.

01:06:50.480 --> 01:06:55.220
And so there was this massive number of calls that was coming in, like, you know, several

01:06:55.220 --> 01:07:00.760
hundred an hour, coming across our toll-free line with, you know, PRI with all these people

01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:02.920
calling this extension that had this message on it.

01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:09.140
And we basically had to move to Voice RIP, and then people didn't really mind, and so

01:07:09.140 --> 01:07:09.660
we kept it.

01:07:12.640 --> 01:07:13.400
That's awesome.

01:07:15.220 --> 01:07:18.220
This is Behold the Power of the Internet, right there.

01:07:18.400 --> 01:07:18.840
Oh, yes.

01:07:19.980 --> 01:07:20.380
Exactly.

01:07:21.580 --> 01:07:22.420
Into our web.

01:07:22.420 --> 01:07:26.900
All right, so since we're actually going to get on to it a little bit, so, Mark, tell us

01:07:26.900 --> 01:07:27.640
about Cheops.

01:07:28.580 --> 01:07:31.300
The entire, okay, let me preface this, actually.

01:07:31.300 --> 01:07:35.720
The entire point of the show was, I was just amazed at the sheer fact of the amount

01:07:35.720 --> 01:07:41.380
of software that I used in my, I guess you could say, Linux career that Mark wrote, which

01:07:41.380 --> 01:07:45.060
was, I was going through your website, and I was going, oh, God, I remember that.

01:07:45.440 --> 01:07:46.420
And I remember that, too.

01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:47.460
Oh, wow.

01:07:47.860 --> 01:07:48.480
Oh, wow.

01:07:49.700 --> 01:07:53.960
And it was just kind of, I always knew him as the person who wrote game, and now I knew

01:07:53.960 --> 01:07:55.140
him as the person who wrote asterisk.

01:07:55.140 --> 01:08:00.600
And it was just, like, kind of weird how much stuff you actually wrote that I remembered.

01:08:01.820 --> 01:08:07.640
So, one of the programs that, at least I always thought it was cool, was Cheops, or how do

01:08:07.640 --> 01:08:08.380
you actually pronounce it?

01:08:09.060 --> 01:08:09.880
Che-ops.

01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:10.940
Che-ops.

01:08:11.040 --> 01:08:11.380
Che-ops.

01:08:13.160 --> 01:08:13.980
So, so, so.

01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:15.060
It's like Cheops.

01:08:16.100 --> 01:08:16.760
I don't know.

01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:18.760
I always picked it up at school, Cheops.

01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:19.580
Che-ops.

01:08:20.340 --> 01:08:21.260
Yeah, exactly.

01:08:21.260 --> 01:08:24.600
So, so what is, what is Cheops?

01:08:26.380 --> 01:08:34.480
It was a network user interface, or a NUI, with the idea that what you could do with Cheops

01:08:34.480 --> 01:08:42.800
was to give it a range of IP addresses or a domain, and it basically would either go out

01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:47.520
and LS the domain, get all the hosts, or go with the IP addresses, and then would go identify

01:08:47.520 --> 01:08:52.740
all of them with KSA, which was a precursor to NMAP, and it would put up little icons

01:08:52.740 --> 01:08:56.480
for each of the systems based on the operating system that was there, and then you could

01:08:56.480 --> 01:09:00.260
right-click on it, and it would port-scan it and give you the services that were available,

01:09:00.420 --> 01:09:05.380
so you could, like, just right-click and go SSH, or, like, right-click and go web, and

01:09:05.380 --> 01:09:08.140
it would bring up a web browser pointed to that particular machine.

01:09:08.820 --> 01:09:10.440
So it made it very easy to see your network.

01:09:10.440 --> 01:09:15.660
And then you could hit Control-M to map it, and it would use TraceRoute to show you how

01:09:15.660 --> 01:09:17.220
all the machines were connected together.

01:09:17.820 --> 01:09:22.920
So it was just a really convenient tool for exploring your network and being able to access

01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:24.720
machines real easily.

01:09:26.720 --> 01:09:30.580
And people used it a lot.

01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:34.760
It was even, in the early days, it was more popular than game in terms of the number of downloads,

01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:40.540
but game garnered maintainers, and KEOPS really didn't.

01:09:40.640 --> 01:09:44.760
And when I moved on to Asterisk, KEOPS really didn't go anywhere, and there was a lot that

01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:50.740
needed to be done, like the SNMP support could be improved, and, you know, it needed to be

01:09:50.740 --> 01:09:57.360
updated to use NMAP instead of KSO, and, you know, a lot of other stuff like that that

01:09:57.360 --> 01:09:57.860
needs to happen.

01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:01.000
But fundamentally, I think it was kind of a cool concept.

01:10:01.000 --> 01:10:08.160
I got a bit, but when I first stumbled across it in, like, you know, 99, 2000, to be honest,

01:10:08.220 --> 01:10:12.940
I don't remember when I did, like 99, 2000, thereabouts, I was just like, wow, this is

01:10:12.940 --> 01:10:18.600
the coolest thing ever, and I, back in, like we said before, back in the days without network

01:10:18.600 --> 01:10:20.960
security, no one actually knew what the hell was going on in their network.

01:10:21.340 --> 01:10:27.300
I did wonderful works of the entire, my entire corporate network where no one knew what the

01:10:27.300 --> 01:10:28.340
hell was going on.

01:10:29.040 --> 01:10:30.000
Oh, that's fantastic.

01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:37.300
In fact, one of the people that I work with here, Malcolm Davenport, KEOPS is how I found

01:10:37.300 --> 01:10:46.900
him, because I was running KEOPS on the local LAN network at the dorm I was in, and I was

01:10:46.900 --> 01:10:49.060
like, wait a second, there's another Linux box.

01:10:49.780 --> 01:10:50.640
How is that?

01:10:50.740 --> 01:10:52.840
And so I went running around looking for a Linux box.

01:10:52.840 --> 01:11:03.480
Actually, to be honest, I, I, we, we met somebody like that at my dorm, my freshman dorm, who

01:11:03.480 --> 01:11:09.900
was running Linux as well, and like, I just got into Linux, and I got, I, one of my friends

01:11:09.900 --> 01:11:14.720
also just got into it, and we were doing all this kind of stuff, and we were playing with

01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:20.400
Samba, and when you did the Samba client, it would say, um, you know, Windows NT, whatever

01:11:20.400 --> 01:11:23.680
it is, or like, it's a, you know, Samba, whatever, and we connected to the server, and we said,

01:11:24.020 --> 01:11:25.860
oh my God, this person's running Samba.

01:11:25.980 --> 01:11:30.620
So we tracked this person down to say, wow, you're running Linux, and he said, wow, you're

01:11:30.620 --> 01:11:31.660
running Linux too, and.

01:11:32.660 --> 01:11:33.380
And it was lovely.

01:11:33.380 --> 01:11:35.460
It was, it was wonderful.

01:11:35.640 --> 01:11:39.960
We actually, we stayed in touch during freshman and sophomore years, but then he dropped out,

01:11:40.040 --> 01:11:41.100
and we never really heard from him again.

01:11:41.700 --> 01:11:44.200
Then my friend dropped out, and I never heard from him again, so.

01:11:44.660 --> 01:11:46.380
So I have a funny Samba story.

01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:54.420
When I was a co-op at a fairly large telecommunications company with about 1,500 employees, okay, one

01:11:54.420 --> 01:12:00.880
day we came into the office, and nobody in one entire wing of the building, so like half

01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:06.420
the, half of the employees, right, 750 people, could not log in to the Windows network.

01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:08.160
It would just immediately reject their login.

01:12:08.820 --> 01:12:10.260
Oh God, I didn't know what happened.

01:12:10.660 --> 01:12:16.920
And the entire staff of, entire IT management was running around with this little fluke network

01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:20.840
meter, trying to figure out the source of the problem, and came running into my office

01:12:20.840 --> 01:12:22.980
saying, hey, it's your Linux box, isn't it?

01:12:23.660 --> 01:12:26.140
And I was like, uh, no, I'm not even running Samba.

01:12:26.600 --> 01:12:30.240
But then I ran an SMB client, and I was able to track down that there was a machine.

01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:36.640
That was running Samba, and went and found it, and it was that, one of those old, do you

01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:43.500
guys remember those little alpha 533, or not 533s, the alpha like 133s that were really

01:12:43.500 --> 01:12:45.060
popular for a long time?

01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:51.060
So someone was running one of those, they were basically like a 486, and he had Samba running

01:12:51.060 --> 01:12:51.460
on it.

01:12:51.660 --> 01:12:57.160
And his little alpha, his little miniature alpha, was answering.

01:12:57.160 --> 01:13:00.720
He had configured it for the same domain, which would have been okay, except he also turned

01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:01.720
on domain logins.

01:13:02.300 --> 01:13:08.560
And it was answering all the requests faster than the multi-processor Windows NT server that

01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:09.100
they had.

01:13:10.100 --> 01:13:15.800
So before the NT server could authenticate, then he was saying, nah, nah, you're not a user

01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:16.180
on me.

01:13:17.060 --> 01:13:18.260
So it was pretty funny.

01:13:18.620 --> 01:13:19.160
It's amusing.

01:13:19.160 --> 01:13:23.620
Yes, I do actually remember hearing stories about that.

01:13:23.700 --> 01:13:27.400
As soon as you said, no one in the entire wing of this building could log into the Windows

01:13:27.400 --> 01:13:27.660
network.

01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:32.320
It's like, oh God, somebody turned on domain logon support and made themselves a domain

01:13:32.320 --> 01:13:32.680
master.

01:13:33.020 --> 01:13:33.220
Yep.

01:13:33.940 --> 01:13:34.260
Exactly.

01:13:35.160 --> 01:13:37.600
Please select your home music.

01:13:37.860 --> 01:13:39.300
Press 1 for Led Zeppelin.

01:13:39.620 --> 01:13:41.000
Press 2 for Kenny G.

01:13:41.380 --> 01:13:42.920
Press 3 for Eminem.

01:13:43.280 --> 01:13:44.860
Press 4 for Weasels.

01:13:45.240 --> 01:13:48.960
Press 5 to hear me endlessly lifting digits you could press.

01:13:49.160 --> 01:13:52.480
Press 6 for fingernails screeching down a blackboard.

01:13:52.760 --> 01:13:54.260
Press 7 to hear a click.

01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:59.740
Hum, a ring back, and that bell woman saying, if you'd like to make a call, please hang up

01:13:59.740 --> 01:14:00.420
and try again.

01:14:00.740 --> 01:14:06.060
If you need help, hang up, and then dial your operator, followed by really loud beeping.

01:14:10.500 --> 01:14:12.480
Oh God, she talked about corn breath.

01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:16.300
That's our nickname for her.

01:14:16.300 --> 01:14:19.100
We're sorry, the number you have reached has been disconnected.

01:14:19.620 --> 01:14:23.920
Or, telephone service has been disconnected from this number due to telephone being disconnected.

01:14:25.580 --> 01:14:26.020
Yeah.

01:14:26.780 --> 01:14:32.700
Yeah, Evan Norbell had some master tapes of her, and he sliced her up to say that.

01:14:32.780 --> 01:14:33.120
But yeah.

01:14:34.380 --> 01:14:35.500
Ms. We're sorry.

01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:37.420
We're unable to personally answer your call right now.

01:14:38.200 --> 01:14:39.500
We call her corn breath.

01:14:39.700 --> 01:14:40.980
Lacking a better name for her.

01:14:40.980 --> 01:14:43.940
Because no one knows who she really is.

01:14:44.020 --> 01:14:44.220
Yeah.

01:14:44.240 --> 01:14:44.880
Do, do, do, do.

01:14:45.340 --> 01:14:47.260
Yeah, but she was the voice.

01:14:47.340 --> 01:14:52.620
When AT&T was re-standardizing all the recordings in the early 80s to get the SIT tones on everything,

01:14:52.960 --> 01:14:53.640
they used her.

01:14:54.040 --> 01:14:55.620
So that's why she's bloody everywhere now.

01:14:56.780 --> 01:14:57.180
Wow.

01:14:57.180 --> 01:14:59.640
So, let's think, oh, that'll be Allison one day.

01:14:59.900 --> 01:15:00.700
You just watch.

01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:02.360
Oh yeah.

01:15:02.420 --> 01:15:03.460
I'm hoping, we're hoping.

01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:06.200
That's our dream, to be honest with you.

01:15:06.280 --> 01:15:08.280
Because we're phone freaks and we have strange dreams.

01:15:08.900 --> 01:15:11.920
That Allison becomes the next Jane Barbie, as it were.

01:15:11.920 --> 01:15:13.920
Cool.

01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:22.580
If I ever get an AIS machine, I should make Allison say all the digits.

01:15:24.040 --> 01:15:29.920
Well, unless, of course, the original magnetic drum is intact with Jane on it, then in which case...

01:15:30.540 --> 01:15:32.840
Oh, of course, yes, yes, at which point you won't do anything.

01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:36.540
That's funny.

01:15:36.540 --> 01:15:37.340
All right.

01:15:37.440 --> 01:15:42.880
Well, we just sort of lightly touched on geops, which was really going to technically be our main topic,

01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:44.700
but I think this was a relatively good show.

01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:45.580
Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:15:45.780 --> 01:15:49.420
I guess if any of you listening out there are interested in maintaining geops,

01:15:50.020 --> 01:15:51.980
Mark, why don't you pitch this?

01:15:52.520 --> 01:15:53.100
Oh, yes.

01:15:53.280 --> 01:15:56.920
If anyone out there wants to be maintainer and, like, seriously has some skill,

01:15:57.480 --> 01:16:03.640
then, well, like, send me a patch that does something interesting, like convert it over to end map,

01:16:03.640 --> 01:16:10.640
and then if it works, then you can be the maintainer, and I would be very happy and would go, yay,

01:16:12.300 --> 01:16:14.120
and maybe I'll get Allison.

01:16:14.920 --> 01:16:18.120
Oh, and I bet we can get Allison to record your answering machine message.

01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:25.040
This call may be recorded and put up on our website for other customers to laugh at.

01:16:25.040 --> 01:16:34.860
Oh, good old Allison.

01:16:35.440 --> 01:16:36.680
That's what people should do, I think.

01:16:37.540 --> 01:16:44.340
These prompts, by the way, were inspired by Brad Templeton, who sent a list of these,

01:16:44.480 --> 01:16:46.600
and Allison was kind enough to do them all.

01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:51.900
You've seen Allison in business, don't you?

01:16:51.900 --> 01:16:57.900
Yeah, well, she certainly gets a lot of business through the Voice website.

01:16:58.800 --> 01:17:01.600
Because you can buy prompts with basically anything you want,

01:17:01.740 --> 01:17:07.000
and actually have Allison record them through the Digium website if you go through to the Voice.

01:17:07.000 --> 01:17:08.680
Like saying, hello, noobs.

01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:10.080
Exactly.

01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:12.040
Exactly.

01:17:15.560 --> 01:17:16.220
All right.

01:17:17.240 --> 01:17:17.680
Announcements.

01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:21.860
I still have the old announcements from last week, and I deleted those, so...

01:17:21.860 --> 01:17:23.060
I don't think there's any announcements.

01:17:23.320 --> 01:17:26.800
Well, SCALE is going to be this weekend in Los Angeles, Southern California Linux Expo,

01:17:26.860 --> 01:17:30.740
and actually, not only will I be there, but Mr. Spencer will be there as well.

01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:32.200
That's correct.

01:17:32.340 --> 01:17:33.180
From what I understand, yes.

01:17:34.860 --> 01:17:37.240
Are you going to be at Linux World Boston, Mr. Spencer?

01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:40.540
Mr. Spencer.

01:17:41.640 --> 01:17:42.620
That sounds so weird.

01:17:42.620 --> 01:17:46.380
I don't know.

01:17:47.060 --> 01:17:48.460
I think I might be.

01:17:48.780 --> 01:17:51.940
I have to look at the conference calendar, but I think I might be speaking there, actually.

01:17:52.900 --> 01:17:53.280
I don't know.

01:17:53.360 --> 01:17:54.640
I think I might be speaking there.

01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:55.300
I don't know.

01:17:55.720 --> 01:17:55.980
Oh, no.

01:17:56.140 --> 01:17:56.420
I wish.

01:17:56.620 --> 01:17:59.000
I can't wait until I'm that popular, and I can say that.

01:17:59.040 --> 01:17:59.720
You can look on it.

01:18:00.100 --> 01:18:01.360
It'll be on the digital book.

01:18:01.540 --> 01:18:05.840
One of the things is that I sort of transitioned to this point.

01:18:05.840 --> 01:18:11.600
At first, the way it starts out is that you have people that kind of help you with things

01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:17.640
like figuring out where you need to be and so on, and then at some point, that whole relationship

01:18:17.640 --> 01:18:23.620
changes, and you realize that you basically have handlers that tell you now where to go

01:18:23.620 --> 01:18:28.240
and where you have to be, and that just, you know, I sort of come into work, and I'm like,

01:18:28.360 --> 01:18:30.420
okay, where am I going this week, you know?

01:18:30.420 --> 01:18:32.680
Where do I have to be?

01:18:33.480 --> 01:18:39.400
So it's a very different kind of relationship than the way it starts out.

01:18:39.740 --> 01:18:40.460
Yeah, it was so weird.

01:18:40.560 --> 01:18:47.140
When I scheduled Mark to be on the show, I just hit him up on AIM, and I said, hey, do

01:18:47.140 --> 01:18:48.920
you want to be on our show this week?

01:18:48.960 --> 01:18:57.540
And he's like, yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm available, but email my assistant instead and have her

01:18:57.540 --> 01:19:00.860
verify everything, because I don't even know what my schedule looks like anymore.

01:19:01.620 --> 01:19:01.880
Right.

01:19:02.460 --> 01:19:06.060
We're trying to get Zimbra up and running, though, so once we have Zimbra up and running,

01:19:06.180 --> 01:19:10.560
then hopefully I'll get to have a little bit of say in my own schedule, because then I

01:19:10.560 --> 01:19:14.440
won't have to conflict with whatever everybody else puts down for me.

01:19:15.980 --> 01:19:16.340
Hmm.

01:19:18.140 --> 01:19:19.800
Have you guys seen Zimbra, by the way?

01:19:21.400 --> 01:19:21.760
Zimbra?

01:19:22.440 --> 01:19:22.800
Yeah.

01:19:23.080 --> 01:19:24.160
Z-I-M-B-R-A.

01:19:24.500 --> 01:19:26.640
No, but I had a coworker once named Zimbra.

01:19:27.540 --> 01:19:30.660
No, not exactly.

01:19:30.860 --> 01:19:38.800
It is actually an Exchange drop-in replacement, protocol-level compatible with Exchange with

01:19:38.800 --> 01:19:42.920
an AJAX Web Outlook look-alike.

01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:45.180
Free as in B or free as in speech?

01:19:45.980 --> 01:19:50.460
Free as in speech, and it's really pretty amazing.

01:19:50.460 --> 01:19:57.960
Of course, it's AJAX, so if you have a slow web browser, yeah, you'll want to use POP and

01:19:57.960 --> 01:19:59.180
IMAP to connect up to it.

01:19:59.260 --> 01:20:04.480
But it's got calendaring, it's got email, and it has a pluggable interface where you can do

01:20:04.480 --> 01:20:08.860
cool things, like it can recognize a FedEx tracking number or UPS tracking number, and

01:20:08.860 --> 01:20:13.200
when you mouse over it, it'll, you know, tell you what its status is.

01:20:13.980 --> 01:20:16.860
So it's pretty nifty stuff.

01:20:17.680 --> 01:20:19.020
You can mouse over an address.

01:20:19.120 --> 01:20:22.280
If you go to Zimbra.com, they have an online demo you can go through.

01:20:22.560 --> 01:20:23.880
That's Z-I-N-B-R-A?

01:20:23.880 --> 01:20:24.480
I'll have to check that out.

01:20:25.100 --> 01:20:25.300
Correct.

01:20:25.500 --> 01:20:26.120
Z-I-N.

01:20:27.900 --> 01:20:28.900
Let's see if I can remember.

01:20:28.900 --> 01:20:29.680
Z-I-N-D-I.

01:20:29.700 --> 01:20:30.540
Zebra, indigo.

01:20:32.040 --> 01:20:32.520
Mike.

01:20:33.140 --> 01:20:33.620
Mike.

01:20:34.480 --> 01:20:35.840
Bravo, Romeo, Alpha.

01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:40.320
Bravo.

01:20:42.160 --> 01:20:42.920
That's R.

01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:45.040
Romeo.

01:20:45.040 --> 01:20:45.820
Romeo, I just said.

01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:46.560
Romeo, yeah.

01:20:47.820 --> 01:20:50.220
Zulu, India, Mike, Bravo, Romeo, Alpha.

01:20:50.940 --> 01:20:51.360
Thank you.

01:20:51.860 --> 01:20:53.420
Oh, here's a question for our listeners.

01:20:53.640 --> 01:20:55.360
I would love to find out.

01:20:55.360 --> 01:21:03.280
We were debating about whether or not you could create the entire phonetic alphabet using only expletives.

01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:07.560
And I could get no farther.

01:21:08.180 --> 01:21:10.080
I couldn't come up with a good one for E.

01:21:10.680 --> 01:21:15.560
So with that thought, we can let our listeners work on it and see what they come up with.

01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:18.640
If we get that assembled, we will read the whole thing on the radio show.

01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:19.440
I guarantee you.

01:21:20.120 --> 01:21:20.600
Who will?

01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:22.460
Who will?

01:21:22.460 --> 01:21:23.500
I will.

01:21:24.000 --> 01:21:26.080
I will personally read the whole thing on the radio show.

01:21:27.280 --> 01:21:27.840
All right.

01:21:27.900 --> 01:21:29.060
We'll have a swearing episode.

01:21:29.200 --> 01:21:31.440
We do nothing but curse the entire time.

01:21:33.980 --> 01:21:34.660
All right.

01:21:34.800 --> 01:21:37.540
So, Scale, do we have any other announcements?

01:21:37.660 --> 01:21:38.800
Because they're just kind of running out of time.

01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:40.800
Not that I can think of.

01:21:41.200 --> 01:21:46.460
There's OSBC in San Francisco, too, the very following week, which I'll be at.

01:21:46.460 --> 01:21:48.860
But, so, yeah.

01:21:49.180 --> 01:21:51.080
That's the open source business conference.

01:21:52.400 --> 01:21:54.580
Other than that, I don't know what else beyond that.

01:21:54.680 --> 01:21:57.000
Eventually, there's Vaughn in San Jose.

01:21:57.960 --> 01:21:59.240
Lots of stuff out in California.

01:22:00.240 --> 01:22:01.100
Yay, California.

01:22:01.840 --> 01:22:03.040
Well, because it's winter up in there.

01:22:03.040 --> 01:22:07.220
I just can't understand why there aren't more voice over IP conferences in Alabama.

01:22:07.220 --> 01:22:08.720
It just blows my mind.

01:22:09.420 --> 01:22:12.060
Well, what drives me nuts is there's no hacker conferences in Boston.

01:22:12.180 --> 01:22:14.840
I mean, heck, that actually kind of makes sense.

01:22:15.880 --> 01:22:16.060
Yeah.

01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:16.880
Ooh.

01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:20.600
MIT, we've got all the smart people up here.

01:22:20.680 --> 01:22:22.700
But, no, no geeky conferences up here.

01:22:24.280 --> 01:22:25.660
Hell, we just got Linux World.

01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:27.520
We've got five minutes left.

01:22:27.520 --> 01:22:30.240
And we have Vaughn coming up in the fall.

01:22:32.260 --> 01:22:34.540
Yes, we have Vaughn coming up in the fall, too, which I'll be attending.

01:22:35.680 --> 01:22:40.120
Site of the week, we're going to go with the Sharp map again, which is, hold on.

01:22:40.280 --> 01:22:41.640
I completely lost my URL.

01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:42.940
I said it early in the episode.

01:22:43.040 --> 01:22:43.500
Just go there.

01:22:44.860 --> 01:22:46.640
Email radio at binrev.com.

01:22:47.500 --> 01:22:49.000
Mark, do you have any shouts out to people?

01:22:51.720 --> 01:22:53.760
All of the Asterisk developers out there.

01:22:54.120 --> 01:22:54.660
Thank you.

01:22:55.280 --> 01:22:57.400
I really appreciate all the help that we get.

01:22:57.660 --> 01:23:02.700
For people that go and develop with Asterisk and post their patches

01:23:02.700 --> 01:23:07.660
and put up with how long it takes us sometimes to get the more complicated ones in,

01:23:08.040 --> 01:23:14.980
I just really can't express enough my appreciation for all the help that we get.

01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:21.140
How long it takes to get into fights with JerJer on the Mantis system

01:23:21.140 --> 01:23:24.260
about saying that my patch does work, yet he doesn't believe me.

01:23:25.080 --> 01:23:27.000
And it was his fault that he wasn't downloading it correctly.

01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:28.320
But we will get into that.

01:23:29.340 --> 01:23:37.120
And I especially want to say I'll throw out some greets to BJ from Birds of the Word

01:23:37.120 --> 01:23:41.120
for sending us that awesome Red Bull fridge.

01:23:41.120 --> 01:23:51.700
And then I think, let's see, Matt, do you have any greets you want to get?

01:23:51.700 --> 01:23:52.000
Oh, yeah.

01:23:52.260 --> 01:23:54.380
Yeah, we definitely want to thank the makers of Red Bull.

01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:57.360
And girls.

01:23:57.820 --> 01:23:58.200
And girls.

01:23:59.020 --> 01:24:00.180
And not so much the girls.

01:24:03.320 --> 01:24:03.780
All right.

01:24:03.980 --> 01:24:05.420
Well, I'll send shouts out to you, Mark.

01:24:05.460 --> 01:24:06.260
Thank you for coming on.

01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:09.860
It was a very interesting episode.

01:24:10.080 --> 01:24:11.040
I'll give it that.

01:24:11.360 --> 01:24:12.220
Yeah, well, it was fun.

01:24:12.920 --> 01:24:13.540
Yeah, it was fun.

01:24:13.580 --> 01:24:14.180
It was interesting.

01:24:14.180 --> 01:24:17.240
We get to hear all the new asterisk prompts.

01:24:17.500 --> 01:24:19.460
Their premiere party on BinRev Radio.

01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:22.980
Shout out to Allison Smith for recording all that awesome stuff.

01:24:23.240 --> 01:24:24.300
Oh, absolutely.

01:24:24.300 --> 01:24:24.660
Absolutely.

01:24:26.300 --> 01:24:26.840
All right.

01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:29.620
Live agents are ready to assist you.

01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:35.420
To reach one, enter the 53rd through 69th digits of the cube root of pi.

01:24:35.420 --> 01:24:40.060
We got to have her on the show at some point.

01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:42.300
Yes, we totally should.

01:24:42.860 --> 01:24:43.260
All right.

01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:45.720
Do we have any Spanish speakers out there?

01:24:46.620 --> 01:24:47.440
I'm sure we do.

01:24:48.220 --> 01:24:52.820
Because I do have one Spanish one, which he did.

01:24:52.940 --> 01:24:53.500
Play it up.

01:24:53.640 --> 01:24:55.360
And then we'll go into our closing music.

01:24:56.400 --> 01:24:56.900
All right.

01:24:56.900 --> 01:25:11.480
If you don't want to talk to anyone, do not press number two.

01:25:13.600 --> 01:25:19.260
As I understand it, the translation is, if you speak Spanish, you know I'm really not saying anything.

01:25:19.480 --> 01:25:20.040
Press two.

01:25:24.040 --> 01:25:24.900
All right.

01:25:24.900 --> 01:25:28.900
So our closing music this week is something from OC Remix you downloaded.

01:25:29.080 --> 01:25:30.260
Mega Man 3 something or other?

01:25:30.620 --> 01:25:30.800
Yes.

01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:31.600
Mega Man 3.

01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:32.100
Oh, shoot.

01:25:32.160 --> 01:25:33.420
I'm completely drawing a blank on the title.

01:25:34.260 --> 01:25:35.140
I'll figure it out.

01:25:35.180 --> 01:25:36.120
It's somewhere in my bookmarks.

01:25:36.580 --> 01:25:37.860
Mega Man 3 something or other.

01:25:38.620 --> 01:25:38.880
Yes.

01:25:38.920 --> 01:25:40.640
Mega Man 3 Remix something, something, something.

01:25:41.460 --> 01:25:43.260
So we will see you next week.

01:25:43.440 --> 01:25:44.280
Same hack time.

01:25:44.600 --> 01:25:45.740
Same hack channel.

01:25:54.900 --> 01:26:03.280
I'll be right back.

01:26:03.500 --> 01:26:04.040
So we will see you next week.

01:26:08.360 --> 01:26:19.840
See you next week.

01:26:20.480 --> 01:26:23.120
cleaner pens molto.

01:26:23.120 --> 01:26:53.100
Thank you.

01:26:53.120 --> 01:27:23.100
Thank you.

01:27:23.120 --> 01:27:53.100
Thank you.

01:27:53.120 --> 01:28:23.100
Thank you.

01:28:23.120 --> 01:28:53.100
Thank you.

01:28:53.120 --> 01:29:23.100
Thank you.

01:29:23.120 --> 01:29:53.100
Thank you.

01:29:53.120 --> 01:29:55.120
Thank you.
