Here is a neat little comic about “how business works.” Amusing, but not entirely true in my experience.
How Business Works

Archive for the 'General' Category
Long time since I posted here. Things have been busy as ever:)
A couple of weeks ago I started a new job, working for a VoIP Solutions company here in Tokyo. The company is called Denphone and it is based just down the road from where I live, in Azabujuban, Tokyo.
It is a very interesting company offering a wide range of Linux and open source IP telephony solutions, particularly using the Asterisk PBX software package. We also sell a lot of IP telephones, including Polycom, Cisco, snom, and Grandstream models. You can see some of them at the Denphone webshop. So I have had a lot of new products to get myself familiar with.
I will be putting up more links in the future, particularly related to VoIP and IP telephony especially Asterisk in the near future.
