With Vonage, I have a little phone router called the PAP2 from Linksys. It uses a 5V 2A AC adapter whose tip's polarity is positive. Through the tragedy of moving internationally, I have lost the original adapter. I have sought high and low for a replacement. To make a long story short, in Canada, I can go to The Source (formerly Radioshack) and if you go to the digital camera section instead of the AC adapter section, you can find the one adapter that will fit your needs. 2000mA, with voltages at 3, 5, 6, 6.4, 7 and 7.5V DC. I'll note that none of the plugs are the right fit, so you might have to spend another 3CAD on a K-type plug tip.

Mwahaha.

Now joining the ranks of IMAqua and DJAqua as unused but awesome plugins comes EvoAqua. A plugin for the Evolution mail client that announces aloud an incoming message's sender and subject.

It uses Speech Dispatcher, as always, to speak.

GNOME Bug 607610 has the patch to Evolution to add the plugin. I'll try to separate it out at sometime, but it will require at least Evolution 2.29.2, since it relies on functionality that wasn't around until then. So, most people will want to wait until 2.30?

Good night.

My girlfriend isn't fond of her desktop e-mail client starting up to handle mailto: links to people's e-mails. I am not sure why, but even I once used an extension to make Gmail's compose window open for e-mail addresses. Well, now no extension is needed.

Go to your options window (Linux: Edit -> Preferences, Windows: Tools -> Options, I think), then go to the Applications section, and then filter on "mailto". Then, you can click the handler on the right (Evolution, Outlook, whatever), and change it to Gmail! (Or, Yahoo!, whatever.)

Cheers.

I love being married, it has opened up an incredible sense of commitment and security in my life and my wife’s life. Love is love, and I would never want to prevent anyone from enjoying what I am afforded the privilage of enjoying. This includes gay people. As such, I have joined this Facebook group to get 1,000,000 who support same sex marriage. I usually hate these kinds of groups, but I think it could be interesting to visualize the support behind this issue. Worthy, methinks.

Shared by aquarichy Packaging and installing things isn't the nicest thing on Linux.

We're living interesting times, the web is gaining momentum, the explosion of the smartphones and the mobile market is changing the ways people think about computing, the model to deliver applications and services to the consumer and his role in the usage has radically changed.

The way people create, build and deploy applications has radically changed, 10 years ago you couldn't even think about deploying a large application without packaging it in a box with a manual and spend large amounts of money to deliver it to the shop shelves, you couldn't even think about people actually buying it without some sort of advertising in the hi tech magazines.

Shared by aquarichy An article regarding Toyota's safety problems.I wonder whether this will destroy my favourite automobile company.

Secretary LaHood all but said that Toyota can expect a large civil fine for how they have handled the situation. The current cost of the recall is estimated to top $900 million.
