SIP - Getting the most out of VOIP

What is VOIP?

Many people either have no idea what VOIP is, think its unreliable, or can't see the point in it. To be fair for people who have mobile phones with hundreds of free minutes and land-line telephones with free weekend and evening calls it can appear on the surface to be pretty pointless. However there are some advantages which may affect you:

More than one telephone line for free...

If you live in a household with three or more people in it you have undoubtedly encountered the situation where you either wanted to use the phone when it was already in use, or got annoyed by someone else constantly picking up your private calls. With VOIP this problem is solved...

Gizmo of the Month - Techno-Balls

Out of all the Xmas presents I got this year, I had to tell you about this one. What looks like a simple marble run kit is actually hours of constant tweaking and adjustment to get that perfect swish mesmerising marble motion. If you are even slightly obsessive-compulsive like me you will love it!

I personally got the Techno-Balls "Hi-Lift Drive Helter Skelter" (269 piece set) and although once you've built and perfected it there's not a whole lot of room for customisation, it does take a considerable amount of time to do and makes an impressive gizmo ornament at the end of it. However fingers crossed I will get another kit next year and be able to combine the two to unleash some of that supressed creativity potential ;)
