Tao, Zen, and Tomorrow
Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. John F. Kennedy You may have already noticed, but SIP Adventures has a new name – Tao, Zen, and Tomorrow. I began this blog by writing just about everything I knew about SIP, […]
Creating Wow With Avaya OneCloud CPaaS Applications
The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own. – Virginia Woolf I have been writing communications software since the 1980s. I began working with proprietary protocols such as Northern Telecom’s Meridian Link and Applications Module Link before moving to “standards” such as […]
Building Bots with Natural Language Processing
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. — Nelson Mandela I would venture to guess that most people had their first encounter with natural language processing (NLP) when Apple added Siri to the […]
With Meraki MV Cameras, Seeing is Believing
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. Confucius The best part of my job is when I get to explore different technologies in order to decide what is worth pursuing and what is best left ignored. While playing with the former is more gratifying, it can also be quite fulfilling the moment I decide […]
Another Demonstration of my IoT Workflow Software
Here is my friend, Thomas Roemer of Avaya, with another demonstration of IoT in action. In this video, he is running my IoT workflow tasks (plus several others I created) from the Avaya CPaaS cloud platform (formerly known as Zang). Cool stuff!
Call the Midwife — a Patient to Nurse Smart Speaker Bot
I decided to have a little fun today and expand on what I have been doing with bots. This time around, I created the prototype of an application that allows hospital patients to request a nurse via a bedside smart speaker. While my bot is still pretty simplistic, the idea it explores can be expanded […]
Using AI and IoT to Orchestrate Smart Parking
I have been a “professional” programmer since 1983 (yes, I am that old) and still get a kick out of seeing how other people use my software. In this case, Thomas Roemer from Avaya has created a smart parking solution that employs the artificial intelligence and IoT integration software I created. It’s a cool video […]
Building Alexa Applications for IoT
A few weeks ago, I shared the work I have been doing in creating bots for Google Home smart speakers. As cool as those applications are (in my humble opinion), I don’t ever want to be thought of as a one trick pony, so I recently turned my attention to doing the same for Amazon’s […]
Developing a Future-Focused Mindset
As much as I enjoy seeing my articles posted on blog sites other than SIP Adventures, I get an even bigger kick from finding articles written about me. 🙂 Okay, I am not that vain (mostly), but if I am entitled to 15-minutes of geek fame, Eric Krapf’s, fun and flattering missive on the work […]
Building IoT Bots With CloudHawk and Google Home
I have been programming since I was a senior at Coronado High way back in 1975. Yes, I am that old. While today’s projects are light years beyond the simple things I once wrote in BASIC and Fortran, the thrill of creating something amazing out of a bunch of number and letters is still just […]
