The batphone network is almost up - using the charity of others, it's already working. We're using FreeWorldDialup as a SIP proxy for now. If you want to try me, my number's 542856, or for other SIP places, sip:542856@fwd.pulver.com. Provided I didn't just open myself up to VoIP telemarketers, I'll keep that number active even after my brother gets his Asterisk server playing nicely externally, and we have an A-Team style private network for the Commisioner or some little kid who frequents B.A.'s youth center to contact us on.

An image, including the ultra-sweet batlogo I am for some reason incredibly proud of, despite viewing the entire voip-phone enterprise as too unnecessary-geekiness even for me:

What the hell, the phone was free.

Today I cleaned a ton, tore apart a laptop to fix its power connector, and put WinXP on the eventual briefcase-computer.

Oh, and I found out the new features in Reason 3.0. Holy. Shit. TRB fans, rejoyce. I mean, holy crap - if the Combinator works like I think it will, I might just wet my pants. Now if only they will tell us when it's coming out.

It was a little touch and go there, but today turned out to be a great day. Even if the cheese fries at Steak and Shake were a little so-so.
