Thunderbird check all imap folders
With the latest thunderbird, the string to search for in the config editor to set it to check all folders for new email has changed from:
mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new to mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new
As detailed here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/How_do_I_check_for_new_messages_in_other_folders Which caught me out for a while as I was looking for the old one in the config editor.

How to get CallerID via http and CDR records working with asterisknow 1.7
We've been using Trixbox for many years as our PABX at iseek computing, but I wasn't happy that it was moving forward nicely as a project, so last time we rebuilt the PABX using AsteriskNOW instead.
It all worked fine, slightly easier that Trixbox perhaps, and no weird forum registration required, and its pretty clean with FreePABX being the main interface.
Busy today, rearranged Study, finished off hearth for fireplace.
Also went out and got another trailerload of firewood, but didn't take a photo of that ;-)

Slow logins with SBS 2003 or 2008
If you are using a Windows SBS 2003 or 2008 with a domain, and client computers are taking a while to login, make sure that you've got the DNS server set to the SBS box as the default.
We use a linux box as the dhcp server and gateway, and this small change to the dhcpd.conf reduced login times from 2 or more minutes down to seconds.
Wish i'd discovered that earlier!
