Having recently rented one and having enjoyed it immensely, I'm interested in buying a Tandem for my partner and I to ride together. Imagine my delight when I found a Cannondale Road Tandem at an amazing price. A little too amazing...

My Dolan Multicross came equipped with Tektro Oryx low profile cantilever brakes, apparently these are pretty much standard equipment on many new cyclocross and touring bikes.
Essential OS X Applications

I don't have to do a Mac OS install too often, but last week we finally retired the old G4 iMac, to be replaced by a nice new Early 2009 Mac mini. I thought this would be a good time to do one of those really lame 'Essential software for your Mac' articles.

How to get Disconnect Supervision on your BT Telephone Line
23rd Dec 2008, 20:42:58
Disconnect Supervision is a brief interruption of your telephone line's usual 48V signal. This voltage drop tells your device that the remote party has cleared the line and it is time to hang up. Disconnect supervision is also sometimes called "calling party control (CPC)," "open loop disconnect", "cutoff on disconnect" or "disconnect clear time (DCT)". Phew.
Anyway, by default, the timing of this voltage drop seems to be only 100ms or so which is too short for the FXO card in my Asterisk box.
Like most BT related problems, this can be resolved by speaking to the right person, using the right BT terminology and asking the right questions.
