I am now on the SDF VoIP system at extension 1896! If you don't already have an
extension of your own and you are an ARPA or MetaARPA member, you can get one
quickly and easily using the 'maint' command. I am using the Linphone software
to access the system. For now I am *not* staying logged in which means (I
think!) that if you try to call me it will go to voicemail. Please feel free to
leave me a message! I hope to play around more with the VoIP system in the near
future, but this seems like a good way to ease into it - interacting with people
via voicemail means that timezones aren't a problem, and I figure leaving a
recording is less akward than an actual conversation for the less extroverted
amongst us (which includes myself).
Pondering some kind of crazy project using the VoIP system and an unused
RaspberryPi, where maybe by calling my extension you can listen to the output of
a hardware chiptune player or something like that. No idea how feasible this
is, but fun to think about...
