I think I had a great week all in all. \u00a0It sometimes felt like everything I was coding just did not want to work. \u00a0But things worked out on the home stretch. \u00a0The nice thing about having multiple projects to work on is that you can switch gears if something is not working and you need some time to figure things out.<\/p>\n

I have been doing some consulting for a small business in town. \u00a0They are expanding and moving into a new building. \u00a0As part of their expansion plans they wanted to ensure Internet connectivity and so wanted to have redundant incoming lines. \u00a0I found a Syswan Duolinks SW24\u00a0load balancer that looks like it will do the trick. \u00a0It should load balance traffic over the available connections and notify you if a line goes down. \u00a0Now if both lines go down, how will you get notified? \u00a0I guess it will be stumped.<\/p>\n

Part of the expansion was a need for more phones, with the ability to start off small, but be able to expand as more staff is added.<\/p>\n

I found what looks like a really good VOIP service www.vocalocity.com<\/a> for a small business in town that I doing some consulting for. \u00a0 The phones and service will be purchased early next week. \u00a0VOIP is the way to go to keep your costs down and for all the amazing features you can get even without owning any telephony equipment. \u00a0The owner decided to go with VOIP phones Cisco SPA942 4-line IP phone that uses POE (Power Over Ethernet). \u00a0This means that the phone gets it power needs via the Ethernet cable. \u00a0No power adapters to deal with, and so long as the network equipment is on a UPS the phone will still work.<\/p>\n

The last piece of equipement to buy was a Netgear FS726TP 24 port switch with POE\u00a0to power those phones. \u00a0All the equipment can bought at www.amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The main Top Secret iPhone Application I am working on\u00a0is going well. \u00a0It looks really good as we have an awesome graphics designer. \u00a0There are many screen and I have been getting the basic framework knocked out. \u00a0That had some challenges, which I finally surmounted. \u00a0I think there is a bug with one of the UINavigationController calls, but I found a simpler way that worked.<\/p>\n

Next week will require some more coding to get content into those many blank screens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
