Project Diary: XTools [1]

Finally started serious work on my Xtools projects.  Xtools is the nickname I’ve given to the project to convert all of my Meridian/Succession Parse utilities to be web enabled.  Once completed, I’ll have a fully functional, multi-user death star…  I mean management interface for handling all of the customer information I’ll ever come across.

Nortel Tip: No customer built?

LD 15, NEW DEFAULT


I finally gave in

One of the things that I didn’t want my website to become was a Nortel support portal, but I finally gave in.  I need a place to keep a bunch of handy links while working between multiple computers and frankly, this portal makes the most sense.  So, today, I started adding a bunch of links [...]

I’ve got a whole article I’m writing on how to secure a CS1000 (although, not for public distribution), but the fact of the matter is that there are some very simple things that people can do to keep a better watch on what is done in their system.  One of the things that can be [...]


Nortel Tips from the Archive

One of the things that I’m occassionally asked (but never personally implemented) is:
“How do I forward my desk number at work to some other location when I’m not ask my desk?”
Enter Kris Guntzelman (who originally gave me the answer)
The feature you are looking for is indeed Remote Call Forwarding.  The FFC
