RJ Auburn - One Step Beyond

So the blog spam bots and finally found me. Looks like they left their ugly dropping all over the web site last night. For now I have turned on moderation for comments until I can set up some sort of filtering in the comment system.

Tom Keating posted a entry today on ENUM that is a good overview of where deployments are in the US. I agree with him 100% that ENUM is going to be the direction that everyone moves to over the next few years as the PSTN evolves from it’s legacy form to the next generation version that is a mix of both circuit switching and VoIP. It’s exciting to see everyone start to converge on it as the solution.

Companies are currently using private ENUM trees for deployment (We have been using it here at Voxeo since 2000 for our hosted network) and I think they will stick around for some time even when the public ENUM tree’s start getting some traction in the US.

I would definitely recommend giving the posting a read.

Today I came across an amusing TTS demo on the Rhetorical web site. It’s a demo of their Eduardo and Valley Girl voices in conversation. You will have to check it out. The Rhetorical guys have a great sense of humor and make some pretty damn good text to speech voices.
