That last, significant vestige of my boat ownership is gone. Someone at my old club bought my mooring tackle this week. This buyer came along at the right time as I was contemplating what sort of floating art project I could moor in the bay.

I made a minor update the Asterisk Home PBX this week. There is now a whitelist of callers that will ring straight through, bypassing the auto-attendant. There’s nothing fancy to automatically add phone numbers to the whitelist, it’s just maintained manually since it will always be a very short list. The auto-attendant, by the way, is very effective, we don’t even get voicemails from robocallers anymore.

Monday morning, Stevie Wonder’s Can’t Put it in the Hands of Fate was the first song that played when I hit shuffle on my playlist. A serendipitous tune for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Especially given the other events set to occur on this particular day. Keep fighting people.

I wrapped up the Asterisk Home PBX project this week. Wrapped up for now anyway. It’s working, but there are many fun and exciting things that can be done with it in the future.

A friend and former roommate was in town this week. We hadn’t seen each other for something like 27 years. A long time indeed. Our nostalgia was probably a bore for everyone else in attendance, especially those not even born when we were last in a room together. I hope circumstances allow for more frequent visits in the future.
