The Future of VoIP

Below is a report Marcin Wrzeszcz [fb] and I compiled for a telecommunications module we are completing. The document describes the major factors that have led to the current state of VoIP, from here we attempt to reason about how these technologies are progressing. The title is quite poor but the document provides a good overview of existing VoIP stacks.

At a careers fair in the University of Limerick (Ireland) recently, guys from Microsoft were handing out a number of these cards.

Animation of Git commits using Gource

Gource is a cool tool for visualising commits to software repositorys (gitcvssvnmercurialbzr), by default gource outputs to a window but using ffmpeg its possible to encode a video from the animation. Below is the command I used:


gource --user-image-dir .git/avatar/ --disable-progress --stop-at-end --output-ppm-stream - | ffmpeg -y -b 3000K -r 60 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - -vcodec mpeg4 gource.mp4

Cobol syntax highlighting for gedit

This semester in University I am taking a class in Cobol, due to the age of the language the tooling is quite poor. After lots of searching I discovered away to get gedit to understand Cobols syntax (for the most part) and also a highlighting scheme for the text editor, these instructions worked for me on Ubuntu 10.10.

Download CobolLSM and cobol.lang


sudo cp cobol.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/

For the color scheme in gedit click Edit/Preferences/Font & Colors click on Add and navigate to the CobolLSM
