Notes
Interesting things one could possibly do with Asterisk (suggested by email from Hans Fugal):
- Distinctive ring
- Mother-in-law logic (aka ex-girlfriend logic)
- e.g. different messages or behavior depending on who's calling
- or even change the CID name for incoming calls to something more hip, for a finite set of numbers (or a match of numbers)
- ring only one of the phones depending on who's calling
- DND
- room-to-room calls
- Set up a meetme conference that you can use at the drop of a hat, e.g. to get a bunch of people together to sing happy birthday to your cat
- TTS announcing who's calling. aka couch potato caller ID
- caller ID pops up on the screen of your laptop/desktop/whatever - aka computer geek caller ID
- system access, e.g. uptime, load, memory, run a script (might want to password-protect that)
- call in and secretly monitor your cat in the living room using the console
- call in and scare the cat with the console (aka paging or intercom)
- zapateller
- make up a wacky answering machine message with Audacity
- dial-a-song
- dial-a-madlib (markov chain)
- math game for the cat
- horoscope
- dictation machine
- control your rhoomba
- jukebox control
- place an automatic call to yourself when some event occurs (using the manager API)
- new PLUG email
- SCO stock drops further
- alarm clock
- get a motion sensor and combine the intercom and call placing ideas, to scare the cat (burglars)
- time-of-day logic (fewer rings at night, or no rings)
- write a script to place a crank call
- places call
- with spoofed CID (Jason Hall <801-555-4956>)
- playback(tt-monkeys)
- Use that crank call script automatically from a spam filter, but use the FBI's CID this time. Or maybe Bill Gates.
- Don't abuse caller ID too much and ruin it for the rest of us who want to use it for legitimate purposes (look like we called from a business phone even though we're at home)
- voicemail to email
- time and temperature (and other weather)
- speed dial
- gambling IVR (blackjack hand - if you win your call will be completed. if you lose you will be disconnected)
- DUNDI
- Allow extended family to place calls in your local area over VOIP
- Set up family voicemail (press 1 for Chris, 2 for the wife, 3 for the cat...)
- music on hold that reflects what you're currently listening to
- (from Wzl) Automatically send email to DNCR complaints center when blacklisted numbers call
