So we recently purchased a number of companies who use Ubersmith as their billing system. As I’ve mentioned before, we use WHMCS. Ubersmith weren’t overly helpful with extracting our customers’ credit card data, so I had to spend some time playing about with ubersmith. As it turned out, it wasn’t hard at all to pull […]
So we have an Inner Range alarm system at my work.. It’s a great system, but like most alarm vendors, the manufacturer thinks tight lips is a good policy. Yeah, no. $99 for a ‘port 0’ cable to program the alarm boards is a huge rip-off, so I sat down before work this morning and […]
At work, we’re currently doing a FULL rebuild of our customer portal. Part of the requirements of the system are that our staff must only be logging into one place. At present they have to be logged into the portal AND WHMCS. So in v2, we have to basically rebuild 90% of the WHMCS admin […]
Installing dig on a CentOS server is pretty easy, using yum. Dig is part of the bind utils package, so you will want to install bind-utils. Basically

I was looking for a way to store (and graph) data for all of our physical servers. Now sure, we could install SNMP on every machine and just use MRTG, but as a lot of them are leased by clients, I wanted something out of band which will ‘just work’. We have a very nice […]
So at my work, we just bought out a couple of other hosting companies, and needed to bring all their customer data from WHMCS into our WHMCS install. We figured ‘no problems, WHMCS has a merge tool’. Yeah, that didn’t work at all! So. We sat down and wrote one! Where things almost came […]
I was just quickly running up a small linux server to use as a backup server at a remote site, and added a new disk to an existing install. Since it’s at a remote site, I don’t want the chance of it barfing on boot, so I definitely want to specify my partition by UUID. […]
So we’ve filled the Avaya IP Office IP500 at our management office. At other offices, we just buy a DS16 or DS30, depending on site. But at this office, we run a VOIP trunk, so have a VCM32, and only use up to 10 channels on that. As we discovered, the VCM32 comes with 12 […]
