Vaste telefonie heb ik nu bijna gratis. Kost een paar nachten uitzoeken en nerden op internet, maar dan heb je ook wat.
Onze belkosten voor vaste telefonie zijn nu niet meer €2,- per maand, maar zijn nu ongeveer €1,-. Niet dat het ook maar iets uitmaakt voor de portemonnee, maar het gaat om het Hollandse principe dat je het allemaal eigenlijk helemaal gratis wil.
Hoe? Voipbuster account, EasyVoip account, Voxalot account en een hardware SIP device.
Met voxalot maak je vervolgens een paar rules die zorgen dat je altijd de goedkoopste connection gebruikt. Korte gesprekken naar vast gaan via voibuster, de rest (lange gesprekken en mobiel) via EasyVoip.
Voxalot stel je vervolgens in op je SIP device als uitgaande voip aanbieder.
Inkomend gebruik ik voipbuster vanwege gekoppeld (eenmalig 1 euro) 085 nummer.
Tarieven:
Voipbuster 120 dagen gratis, de rest van het jaar 2 cent per minuut
EasyVoip €0,004/min voor vast en €0,03 voor mobiel + beide een starttarief van €0,026
Wanneer er een goedkopere aanbieder komt switch je gewoon, uiteraard met behoud van nummer. Moet je wel eerst je prapaid van 10 euro op bellen, daar ben je dus eerst een jaar mee bezig 
Ben nu nog op zoek naar een Voip aanbieder die me geld toe geeft.
Update 29-1-212 Voxalot doet het niet meer, beter kun je gebruik maken van een hardware VOIP kastje zoals bijvoorbeeld Sipura 1001

This evening I copied a dvd-r video with DVD Decrypter to my new bought NAS called Synology 210j.
I accidentally noticed the network performance with windows task manager and saw this picture.
Probably very common, but I haven’t seen this kind of patterns before.

After the call from someone I know very well who is beining stalked by an ex-boyfriend I decided to give her a computer based CCTV system.
She asked for something like a VCR with camera, but you will only use that for a week because you don’t want to change the tape every 3 hours.There had to be a good piece of software you can use.
After a short search, I ended up with ZoneMinder. It’s a free, proffesional, expandable, linux based CCTV system which will work on old pc’s too.
I use it together with a BT878 and a BT848 tv card, HP vectra computer (800 MHz, 40GB disc and 512 MB RAM.
You can download a livecd called ZMLarch http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/ZMLarch , with this you can try it out and install the software. I did both.
After install I had to change a few things:
Go to console and type ’sudo nano /etc/rc.conf’. Change TIMEZONE into Europe/Amsterdam. Save the file
Type ’sudo nano /etc/hosts’ and change zmhost_3524350 into zmhost. Save the file.
For administration, installing webmin is a good idea since you can configure the server remotely trhough your browser. Type ’sudo pacman -S webmin’
Add @webmin to rc.conf, at end of the file where modules are loaded.

Yesterday I transfered all bruijn.nu imap accounts from webreus.nl to google apps while keeping all the @bruijn.nu mail accounts!
Why? Because webreus costs 7 euros a year, with 300 MB total space for all email accounts while google apps is free and offers currently more than 7 GB of space.
So if you own a domain name and use email a lot (and love imap), than moving your email to gmail is a very good idea. You can keep your webhosting at your current host and move only your mail accounts.
Here is how I did it:
- Go to Google Apps and create a free account. I used the dutch version at http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new?hl=nl
- Make the same user accounts as you have at your current host
- Change your MX records and point them to google. You see how as soon as you log in and go to email activation. Of course you need acces to your DNS to change them. At this point all new mail will be delivered to gmails servers (as soon as all servers have updated their DNS of course)
- Synchronize your old email accounts with gmail so that you have access to your old messages.
There are several ways to do this. You can drag and drop them through thunderbird, but if you have 1000’s of messages this is a time consuming job.
You can better use a special tool. I used imapsync which runs on perl, which I ran on Windows Vista but shouldn’t be a problem on Windows 7 too.
Download activestate’s perl http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ and install all necessary packages. I used perl 5.8 and added some extra repositories you need.
Repositories:
http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm
http://trouchelle.com/ppm
http://ppm.tcool.org/archives
Packages:
Mail::IMAPClient
IO::Socket
IO::Socket::SSL
Digest::MD5
Digest::HMAC_MD5
Term::ReadKey
Date::Manip
After that, download imapsync http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/dist/ I used version 1.2.86
Unpack the archives with 7zip, open an administrator command prompt and set your timezone first with:
C:\Users\Michiel\Downloads\imapsync-1.286>set TZ=CET
I use central europian time which worked perfectl. You probably have to use another timezone. You sometimes need it because synchronizing with Google Apps can sometimes change all dates from your mail to the date you synchronized your mail. This command pulls the date out of the header of your email message and changes it back.
Don’t close the CMD window. Now the magic will come. Use it at your own risk, but it worked for me. Type:
C:\Users\Michiel\Downloads\imapsync-1.286>perl imapsync \ --noauthmd5 --host1 your.imap.server.tld --user1 your_username --password1 verysecretpasswd \ --host2 imap.gmail.com --user2 username@gmail.com --password2 gmail_password --ssl2 --skipsize --idatefromheader
Now all your mail will copy to Google Apps servers. Note the last --idatefromheader switch.
After this, change your mail client and point your imap server to imap.gmail.com, check the SSL switch.
Great, now you have more than 7 gigs of free IMAP space!
This website runs on another free webhost http://www.freehostia.com while my mail runs on gmail. I also changed my webmail address to point them to gmail. Check it at http://webmail.bruijn.nu to see how the default interface will look like
