I guess tonight while packing I had a few too many cups of coffee so I was obviously wired and decided to sit down and write some code.  I ended up writing an XMPP / Jabber relay for ENUMPlus which I must say works pretty damn good.  Setting this all up is a three step process ;

1. Create an account / Login to enumplus.org and click “Notifications”.  Input your XMPP user account in the form and press “Send Me Notifications!”.
2. Copy the provided dialplan addition and paste it into /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf.  Reload your dial plan of course with asterisk -rx “dialplan reload”.
3. Add enumplus@gmail.com to your buddy list and test it out!

Here’s a screenshot to get started.

Anyway, go get signed up and test it out for yourself – it is a ton of fun!

I think Growl is a pretty awesome little notification app, I use it for absolutely everything and thought I would cook up a simple way for anyone to relay growl messages to their nodes – even from remote events.

What you need :

• A Local web server (with PHP of course)
• Remote machine must have curl (unless you are good with javascript)

Download the class.growl.php from google code and toss it in your web root.  Create a new file called growler.php or growlnotify.php.  Within it you can paste the following :

Set your webserver to listen on some obscure port and forward it through your router.  You can now use curl to post messages from a remote location to all of the nodes you specified in the associative array above  as such :

curl -d “message=some message `date`” http://your-web-server-ip:port/filename.php

This is a simplified explanation how I wrote Growl notifications for Asteristickies.

Have fun.

I have been a busy beaver today preparing two new modules for Asteristickies,

I recently completed (and uploaded) the latest release featuring notificxations for your XBMC.   It supports authentication as well as specifying a custom port (for computer builds with limited perimssions (ports < 1000))

The script pops a tiny message at the bottom of the screen and pauses any currently playing media.  There no modificatios to the dial plan and no third party software to install.

To get a copy, sign up at the PiaF forums and PM user “aster1sk” with your email address.

This morning I added Growl notifications to Asteristickies using a wonderful PHP class found here.

You do not need to add any third party software to make this work, presuming you have Growl already installed.  Configuration is minimal and notifications can be sent to any routable hostname . address.

Want Asterisk call notifications sent to Gtalk / Jabber?  Here it is :

Tell me you do not think this is awesome.  I spent 12 hours straight fine tuning this process, it is working quite well.

This module will be release in our next release of Asterisk Stickies.  Stay tuned!
