Watch this :

You need a basic LAMP stack and “mp3info” – should be available in your repo’s.

This is totally open – if anyone wants to help out with development leave a comment or send me a message.

The goal is to stream remote media over the web with an intuitive web interface.

Installation :

apt-get install mp3info

cd /var/www

wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/cimediaplayer/Media.tar.gz?r=https%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fcimediaplayer%2Ffiles%2F&ts=1282412797&mirror=master

tar -zxvf Media.tar.gz

Add an Apache virtual host.

create a database : mysqladmin -u root -p create media

edit application/config/database.php using your database creds.

That should be about it – I know these instructions are lazy but it is Saturday… Leave comments if you need help.

I have been busy integrating Asterisk into NimbleBilling – take a look see and let me know what you think!

UPDATE : An online demo is available here!

As a sole proprietor and “freelancer” it is never easy wearing all of the hats, especially when I am knee deep in bugs and get a sales or support call.  One of the most troubling issues I have is with asking for money.  I never have a problem creating the invoice but it is that bloody send button that kills me.

Because of the above – I have decided to finally get organized and put together an automated invoicing application so I don’t have to worry about billing – the computer does for me.  Basically you point your browser to a web app and adda few items to a job list – then save.  Here’s a screencast that should demo it better than I can type it :

Here’s some of the functionality summed up in a brief list.

  • Add / Edit / Delete Clients
  • Add / Edit / Delete Invoices
  • Add / Edit / Delete Jobs
  • Add / Edit / Delete Taxes
  • Add / Edit / Delete Services / Products
  • Auto Email Invoice
  • Download PDF Invoice

It probably does a lot more but I am too excited to complete the PayPal module.

Be sure to check back for updates – a version will be available for you shortly!

This is a great technique for use with large forms with many values you need to save.  It can get in the way if you need individual validation for each value – however it can save a whole ton of time when submitting any number of form fields.

The video isn’t super high quality so I have attached the source here.

Two CodeIgniter developers will be joining us for July’s Screencast – A spectacular C++ also PHP master Mr. Weston and of course myself.  This month’s topic will be JQuery and Codeigniter which I assume will draw a crowd as it is a quickly emerging now that CI has really exploded in popularity.

We have room for 18 participants and would love to know what the audience (meaning you) wants to discuss specifically.
