Brothers in Uber-Geekhood

Published 06 September 07 05:42 PM

I just got an email from Anthony Vitnell from HP who is one of Australia's leading UC consultants, and who is also a geek.

" Without fear of being labeled a geek, I have decided to embrace Unified Communications as much as possible. For 2 years I have lived in my apartment without a telephone (very high mobile phone bill though) and I decided to leverage some of the Unified Communication Demo kit that I have (when it’s not travelling around APJ) and built myself a house phone using OCS 2007, Polycom CX7000 and AudioCodes MP-114 Voip Gateway + Microsoft Lifecam camera, all displayed in the picture below (along with the UC Partner of the year award :)).

Very complex solution for a house phone, but I have to say it is very sexy if I do say so myself. "

Yes Anthony you are a geek, but you're not a geek alone - that looks disturbingly like my setup at home which has essentially the same configuration, with a talking VB Boonie to guard it all of course.

Yes - what a bunch of geeks - I think Greig Sheridan from 3D Networks beats you all - I think he has a PABX at home including OCS integration

Greg has nothing ;)

How about 5 PABX systems (2 X CS1000, MCS, BCM, Asterisk), LCS, OCS, AD, Exchange 2007, IP phones, Fibre to the house... I need more room on my desk, but I do love working from home :)

Recently I posted on fellow uber-geek Anthony Vitnell and his OCS setup at home. In that post my mate
