Cloud Computing Compliments Cold Climates

The title's a tongue twister for your practice.
I know it's cold when certain things add to the slight clutter on my work desk or netbook bag: gloves, scarf and Burt's Bees Beeswax lip balm with clove oil. The temp in Pensacola got as low as 31 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. Shivers ... brrrrrr.
DIDX API Has Option to Filter DID that Require Special Docs
September 30, 2010
One of our members on DIDXchange made a wish for ... "if we could add a filter in the method of..."
getAvailableRatedDIDSbyCountryCode
The filter would be to avoid DIDs that require documentation or ID, please see the image attached.
Something like:
NeedDocument:
getAvailableRatedDIDSbyCountryCode
The filter would be to avoid DIDs that require documentation or ID, please see the image attached.
Something like:
NeedDocument:
$NeedDocuments = 0 : All DIDs
$NeedDocuments = 1 : All DIDs with document requirements
$NeedDocuments = 2 : All DIDs with no document requirement
Our answer immediately:
We have made you a new function "getAvailableRatedDIDSbyCountryCodeAndDocs" which is exactly same as getAvailableRatedDIDSbyCountryCode, but with a difference that it has one more argument which is for document requirements.
http://kb.didx.net/tiki-index.php?page=Get+a+list+of+available+DIDs+by+country-area+code+and+document+requirements
The reason for not touching the already existed function is that this function is mostly used among customers and sometimes the change in the function arguments or return fields not acceptable by most API users.
Please test the function and let me know if it works for you well.
(So, we ask DIDX members to test it and let us know.)
*** Some governments requires certain documentation before a DID can be purchased. All DIDX members are required to take it as their responsibility to follow the law. See http://kb.didx.net/tiki-index.php?page=Documents+Requirement.

Special Character for Check Marks, Hex Input
August 27, 2010I needed a checkmark in a GDoc, but I noticed that WindDings is not in the font list. Bummer! A little research, for "special character for checkmarks hex input," and I found the answer: the character I want is this ✔ which is Unicode 0x2714 - but far easier to copy-paste it into your doc where you want it.
When I learn something new, I want to share it with others. Some of you reading this will think, "Ah! She didn't know that???"
But others will learn with me. Happy monetizing IP communications! Connect with me on Linkedin.

Ever Wonder What smime.p7s is for?
July 14, 2010
smime.p7s ... you might see on incoming emails from different senders. Sometimes when our company Super Technologies, Inc. is helping our wholesale clients to monetize IP communications, we see this. In fact, every time we receive an email from a government organization who is leveraging DID phone number service on wholesale level.

What Do Hairpinning and The Shining Have to do with VoIP?
July 7, 2010I was remembering my mother in the 60s when she would wet her hair, curl small areas and hair pin in place. When it dried and she combed it out, she looked like an angel. But hairpinning is a term in voice over Internet (IP communications). It is the process of returning a message from a beginning endpoint back in the direction it came from.
