[buug] BerkeleyTIP TOMORROW Jan 3 Sat- Party Time :) Video Talks: Asterisk, GPU

Fri Jan 2 16:31:44 PST 2009

Shellow...

I dropped into the Berk Tip room, 3 peeps there, not much going on... is 
there something in the way of video links to follow? some live feeds? 
just wondering,,,

i have an old garage sale special running 9.0 shrike and a working 
asterisk prog installed - cmdline only.  i have an idea about how to set 
up a nice cheap pbm using asterisk and um,,, a new product on the net i 
purchased recently. id like to strike up some convo nexttime, as i think 
i am a little late to this freenode session.

till then... Oly
