Asterisk IAX2 keys in Debian (15-05-2008 20:45)
Yesterday the Debian team issued a security advisatory about OpenSSL.
They made a mistake in 2006 that made the PRNG predictable. Because of this, all keys generated using this OpenSSL library have to be considered compromised.
This means that your asterisk IAX2 keys should be considered compromised as well.
I advise you to regenerate them after installing the security update.

Access to Digium SVN (02-02-2008 21:00)
Two days ago I was talking on #asterisk-dev with russellb and Corydon about a task in Asterisk that was waiting for some coders. I started work on this issue but had to redo the patches 3 times because of changes in asterisk that would conflict with the work I had done.
To make life a bit easier I suggested some developer start a branch so we can stay up-to-date with the core development and it would also make it easier to merge the branch back once all the work was done.
To my big suprise, they told me they added me to the access list of the Digium subversion server and that I could do all this myself from now on!
This is a big honor because there are only like 30 other developers outside Digium that have access to this subversion machine, and most have contributed a lot more and a lot more dificult code. Nice detail is that I'm the only one from The Netherlands that has access now :)

My First Blogpost (02-02-2008 19:00)
Today I decided to get myself a blog.
It seems odd that the author of MvBlog does not use MvBlog for his own blog, but I wanted to see if it can be done in Covide CMS. Turns out it's not that much work and it also made me find some bugs in the template module that are now fixed.
I'll mostly use this blog to post some small tips that dont deserve a full page under documentation and some other random things.
Dont expect this blog to be very active ;)
