Very educational and entertaining.

MediaWiki is the defacto choice here. Never had a speed issue. It's fast and easy to manage. If MySQL is a concern the pmWiki is good and only uses the file system.

Cool I'll probably stick with it for now.

I would.

Hmmm.... Lab project?

I'm totally ordering one of these and flying to work.

Very interesting!

I'll track down the book link.

I have a Logitech case keyboard for my iPad. I like it a lot as a keyboard but not as a case / cover.

@Bill-Kindle that's a good book for learning but definitely get the MSPress curriculum book too. Different approaches and depth.

I am highly mobile and a tablet is critical for me to remain connected.

I especially like having an iPad once custom apps are being made for it. Really enhances the functionality.

I use two iPads and a Kindle Paperwhite for reading. I find the iPads to be great for work and really love the backlit ready on the non-fire Kindle. I use an iPad all day every day.

@NetworkNerd okay. That is pretty funny.

Texas has gotten insane with the huge, rapid temperature swings.

I've toyed with the idea of doing what Scott does (use Asterisk at home) as a way to force myself to learn how it work. With that in mind I would require cordless phones at home to work on the system.

@Dashrender said:

Scott, you run Asterisk as a VM, right?

Yes, on Xen and VMware.

@Dashrender We run it hosted. As far as phones, that's the beauty. Use pretty much whatever you want. Only one I know doesn't work is the 3CX softphone and it used to until they locked it down to 3CX systems only.

The issue there is that 3CX isn't an open SIP softphone, it's just a client of 3CX, not an open phone system. It doesn't work with anything except 3CX.
