A long list of things to do.

So, as the title says.. this is a catch up for the blog, updating on past and planning for future tasks.

Completed:
----------
Holiday 1 week in Melbourne (Done, went and saw monty python spamalot :D )
Setup wireless network with ospf routing (done, also using my home connection to provide more bandwidth when required)
Setup wireless hotspot on the house (done, still trying to find a workable solution for a link to nambour thou :-/)
Map out unknown portions of work wireless network (I'm sure the previous admin left documentation somewhere, it's just easier if you figure it out yourself and understand it all)

Todo:
-----
Still working on home VoIP solution, been mucking about with trixbox, and also built my own asterisk + freePBX ubuntu system. Yet to get it all working thou.
IP accounting for traffic thats coming in from wireless network via my home connection. (Working on a better way to log this, rather than just using the mikrotik traffic counter)
- Currently trying to create myself a version of the script naturalnetworks used here http://blog.naturalnetworks.net/2007/08/recording-routeross-ip-accounting-data.html -
Rebuilding work VoIP server, with a Digium TDM410P with 2 FXO modules and 2 FXS modules + Echo cancellation module.



Planning networks for 2 new large accomodation areas, 1 with a number of buildings spread out over a city, looks as thou the best option is to use business-linked adsl2+ links back to a nearby datacenter.
Installing wireless point to link to Nambour
Installing wireless at a relative's house just down the road (linking back to my internet of course)

Oh and, the old man wants me to either build him up some sort of MythTV box or order a FiireEngine with LinuxMCE pre-installed. I'd like to try setup the Myth one, but not really enough time at the moment.

And thats about it.

Oh wait.. latest addiction: I picked up a couple of packs of the WOW Trading card game starter sets while I was in melbourne which is quite fun, even thou I have quit wow. Found an epic pop-culture store there too, where I bought dad a half price remote control dalek to modify :-) (it had some broken bits, all working fine now) - checkit out at www.minotaur.com.au (the store not the robot).
