Asterisk World will be held in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida from January 25th — 28th, 2016.

To paraphrase the song, Feeling Good: It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new logo For Kamailio And I’m feeling good I’m feeling good Just in time to ring in the new year, Kamailio has introduced their new logo.

First, some history.

Recently, the FCC decided to publish their “informal consumer complaints about unwanted robocalls and telemarketing calls” to the interwebs.

Astricon 2015 will be held in Orlando, Florida from October 13-15, 2015.

When Yeni and I were dating, her apartment used Comcast for Internet.

Tomorrow is July 4th, or Independence Day here in the United States — where we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776.

Recently, Yeni sent me to the grocery store to grab some milk for the bakery.

Recently, Representative Ted Yoho penned an opinion piece explaining that the FCC recent reclassification of the Internet, protecting Net Neutrality, is a bad thing.

Kamailio 4.2.3 has been released.

I’ve loved Siracha for some time now… and having built up a decent tolerance over the years, would consume a pretty decent amount.

Fair warning: this is one of those tech type posts.

It’s a crazy concept… I feel that liberty allows us to communicate free from government interference.

I subscribe to Seth Godin’s email where each day my inbox receives his latest blog post.

Went to WDW yesterday with the Mrs… we’re annual pass holders which allows us to go when convenient.

You may not have known… I love watches.

Recently, a call taker from Walgreens called Yeni a bitch.

To make an incredibly long story short… let me ask you this: What would you do if a call taker called your wife/mother/daughter/etc a bitch?

Let me start off my saying this: I despise the word stupid.

I read a great blog post from Jeff Archibald called Stop Networking.

Yeni and I love going to DisneyWorld — our one big spend each year is annual passes.

Today, I attempted to use my American Express card as a replacement for an old card that had expired.

I had an interaction with American Airlines this morning that made me realize why I choose American (even though they cost more than others).

I loathe drama.

From either the bakery or VoIP consulting, I get to sift through “feelers” on a daily basis.

This week, I spent a day in Seattle.

I love when Yeni creates sculpted cakes at the bakery.

So last night, the Mrs, her parents, and I headed to Blue Water Bay in Melrose to celebrate our 5th anniversary.

You love her But she loves him And he loves somebody else You just can’t win J.

This morning, as I was reading Collin Austin’s post on sweating the small stuff, I couldn’t help but think of how David Lee Roth changed the way I make contracts.

So, while I was discussing pricing regarding a Kamailio support request, the potential client responded with: we got an Indian company they just asked $10/hr and they have good experience in this field

So, working the phones over at the bakery today while coding some dialplans… when a call comes in from a South Florida area code… I’m calling to get a custom cake for a 70th birthday party.

I’m a lucky guy.

With a tag-line of friends don’t let friends get tracked, new search engine Duck Duck Go certainly new how to grab my attention.

Sadly, I did not make Berlin this year to attend Kamailio World — something I hope to correct in 2015.

I’ve been discussing for a few years here the dangers of our collected data.

Recently, I again wrote my Senators and Congressman about the NSA collection of data.

This one does it for me every time.

Back in 2012 or so, I posted a video hidden within a rant I had made.

If we haven’t met yet, my name is Fred Posner.

I don’t think I’ll ever come up with a better quote than this: The Internet is like a big city.

I do use a variety of statistical data to review the websites I administer — and while I will monitor and review the others very often, I review FredPosner.com about twice a year… and with that long winded introduction, I present… 2013: The Year That Was…

Here’s the back-story: Before we married, Yeni bought her first car.

I have a hate / hate relationship with ATT.

For the last 16 years, I’ve enjoyed Thanksgiving at my parent’s house in beautiful South Florida.

Smile.

After returning home from AstriCon 10, I decided to start-up a new server and see how long it would take me to run a working Kamailio server behind NAT (on a private IP).

Ah, the power of Twitter.
