Dave, of The Asterisk Blog, has pointed out that Asterisk: The Future of Telephony, 2nd Edition has hit the streets. I highly recommend the book, in either edition.

Spook Country 15 Aug
Almost forgot: Spook Country came out last week. For those that don't recognize the title, it's yet another good William Gibson book.

I've been attempting to read it only in dribs and drabs, putting off any heavy reading until I'm on a 12-hour trip coming up in the near future.

Linksys WRT54G Ultimate Hacking 08 Jul
After a month of having the back order of my pre-order being reordered, I finally have my copy of the book. The bad news is, I read through it in two days (still can't type well). The good news is that, even though it rehashes a lot of the basics, it contains enough "nuggets" of new (to me) material to make the purchase worthwhile.

More free books 28 Dec
Bruce Perens is working with Prentice Hall to produce a series of books by various authors called the Open Source Series. A nifty additional feature is that the book becomes available online, for free, a few months after it hits the shelves.

VoIP 25 Nov
I highly recommend O'Reilly's book, "Switching to VoIP" by Ted Wallingford. If you're messing around with Asterisk, it's a good book to have. While there's not a whole lot on setting up Asterisk, it is a good reference for theory and troubleshooting.
