To many files in /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/

I know it's been a long time since I've published any howtos, but I just ran into something that I knew I solved long ago, so I decided to come here and share.

Some time I ran into this, posted on trixbox.org for help and no one could figure out the answer. I kept getting bogus suggestions and questions, like "are the wave files valid," "are you hitting filesystem limits," and other off-track questions. After a little digging I found the cause. I ran into the issue again and remembered I had identified the cause and didn't want to have to trace through the php again so I looked for my original question on the topic:

What is the truth about the RIAA?

IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) the RIAA> is an organization which appears to engage in racketeering, extortion, and intimidation tactics as well as spreading propoganda to convince people that the Fair Use clause of Copyright Law and the Home Recording Act do not exist and allow users to exercise their rights. The RIAA and MPAA also want you to believe that the DMCA does not provide the interoperability exclusion clause, which if you follow to the letter, does in fact allow you to use libdvdcss/decss to bypass technical measures to rip and back up music video and/or movie DVDs, as it allows for interoperability with backup and transcoding/ripping software.

Three days is what it took for me to figure out what I wanted to do on this web site after hearing of Richard Wright's death. When posting on myspace that night I couldn't figure out what do do. Finally I decided to do something simplistic and put up the image of the 20th anniversary DSotM album cover as the index page:

I don't know about you but I HATE the access key tooltips which keep popping up in konqueror. Yes, I know I can tap control to toggle the access key tooltips but when typing in konqueror the tooltips become very annoying when you use the control key for other functions, such as copy & paste. Disabling the access key tooltips in khtml is very easy.

OK I'm back - my site is back up. I haven't updated it yet but I will be upgrading it soon.

My hair? It's more wild. I was kidding around with one of my partners, telling him I'm going purple next.

Did I say pink? Now that I've washed it twice, it's really really really pink. I guess more pigment came out, leaving more dye along with the natural reflection of my hair. It's like, well, to look at my hair you need sunglasses. I did it for a lark for halloween but I think I might keep it. I was going to see if the hairdresser can lift the color out this weekend but if I make it to the salon I'm going to see if she can just even the color out a little. :)

Oh my. PINK HAIR!!

Yes, for Halloween I decided to take a plunge and play with Manic Panic. It was either purple or pink, so I took an informal poll. Majority ruled pink, and I didn't want the ugly blue-grey color purple fades to if one doesn't keep up with it, so that was the clincher. So, I went hot pink.

My printer came in and it's been running happily, but I have had NO time to post a review. Between sukkot, working on web sites for the congregation I got involved in, cooking for the congregation, and work, I've been uber-busy.
