Welcome to Part 2 of this 11 part video series on Inkscape. In this video, I explain the basic areas of Inkscape, start a new project, make a simple square design, show gradients and opacity, use the stroke paint option, and add some text.
Welcome to Part 1 of this 11 part series on Inkscape. Inkscape is a fantastic similar to Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw. However, Inkscape is free and open-source! So before spending money on other graphics editors, give Inkscape a try.
TrueCrypt is a free and open source encryption software. With minimal effort, you can quickly configure TrueCrypt to encrypt your data. Why should you configure your data? Well, if there is data residing on your laptop, computer, external drives, internal drives, or USB device which is of a sensitive nature, it’s likely a good idea to have some form of encryption.

Just think what data resides on your home computer: chances are you have your electronic tax returns with your social security number. [Read more →]
In the seventh video in this 10 part series of videos on Asterisk, life becomes easier! I explain how to download and use Trixbox, a web interface used to easily configure Asterisk.
If you have watched the previous videos, you may be thinking that Asterisk is really complicated, you must know Linux, be a command line guru, and be familiar with voice protocols, contexts and plenty of other abstract Asterisk lingo! [Read more →]
In the sixth video in this 10 part video series on Asterisk, we finally get to have some fun. I show you how to use a software based phone, or Softphone, to make calls using Asterisk directly from your computer.
My particular preference for a Softphone is X-Lite, which you can get for free at www.counterpath.com. It is very easy to use and setup, provides a great interface, and it provides good quality of service for your calls.
After some brief configuration of the X-Lite Softphone, which I explain in the video, you will be ready to make your first test!
