    Posey County Wireless Project

    Some of you know that I work with Keith Hudson on a lot of projects.  What some of you don't know is that Keith is a daredevil!  Wink
     
    Keith and I are working on a project to install a wireless network for the Posey County Water District.  As part of this project we are mounting antenna's to the top of the water tower in the Marrs District.  Keith and his son Garrett had to climb to the top of the water tower Saturday and I took a few pics.
     
    Now, some of you may be asking why I wasn't up there too.  Well, now you know who the smartest one in the bunch is!  Open-mouthed
     
    Actually, I would have loved to have done the climb, but my old knees wouldn't have made it up and down both.  Keith would have had to call 911 to get me down I am sure.  That would not have been pretty or fun.
     
    I added all the photos to my album but posted one here to show you how brave they were.Posey County Wireless ProjectKeith and Garrett actually let go of the ladder and trusted their safety harnesses!  Now, who is the smartest one?

    German Food Night

    In early February we made a trip to Jasper In to the Schnitzelbank Rest to enjoy authentic German food!  We had a really good time and some really good food.  We met Jim and Julie Ellis; Scott and Trish Peters; and Ike and Glenda Worthington. 
     
    Good food + Good Company = Good time!
     
    We're planning on doing it again some time.  Hopefully soon since Scott is moving to China in May

    As you can tell, Glenda wasn't real sure about some of the stuff on her plate!

    WHAT IS VoIP?

    VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology that allows you to make phone calls over the Internet. In summary, VoIP takes your voice communications and converts them to data that can be transmitted over your existing IT network and the Internet. Along with taking advantage of your existing network, VoIP offers functionality that has historically been cost prohibitive to the small and medium business spaces.

    WHY VoIP?

    VoIP offers real, tangible benefits to today’s small and medium businesses.

    • Helps save you money by reducing costs associated with phone system setup, maintenance, and toll charges.
    • Helps save you time by making installation and ongoing management easy with online management tools.
    • VoIP features like unified messaging, mobility (office anywhere) and presence provide small and medium-sized businesses with a big-business image at a small business cost.

    One device for Music and Phone

    I wasn't really sure how to categorize this entry so I hope you agree that being under "Computers and Internet" is the right place.
     
    Anyway, I am an avid fan of Bluetooth Headsets for using my cell phone.  I am on my phone about 2,000 minutes each month and many times needs both hands free since I do tech support.
     
    I also like music and have been looking for an inexpensive bluetooth stereo headset but before now that was hard to find.
     
    Now, I have found the best of both worlds!  A Bluetooth Stereo Headset that is also a wireless phone headset!  It allows the user to be listening to MP3's on their MP3 phone and then answer the phone if it rings and it automatically mutes the music! 
     
    All this and under $50!  Here are some details....
