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 […]
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 […]
Three Questions with Andrew and Andrew (A Video Conversation)
I will just come out and say it. I hate seeing myself on video. Call it vanity or call it insecurity, but I always think I look dorky. So, it was with great trepidation that I accepted Andrew Maher’s invitation to virtually sit with him for three questions. However, after all the dust settled and […]
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 […]
Smart Speakers: From the Kitchen to the Boardroom
In my previous article here at SIP Adventures, I introduced you to the work I am doing with smart speakers and IoT. This week’s article in No Jitter, takes that work even further and demonstrates how smart speakers such as Google Home can be integrated with WebEx Teams. Be sure to check it out! Smart […]
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 […]
Digital Transformation — Avaya Breeze and Beyond
“The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.” – Arthur C. Clarke In technology, some ideas take a long time to catch on. Consider Microsoft’s journey to Skype for Business. For better or worse, I was there from the beginning — from Microsoft’s first foray into telephony […]
