Working together, works!
I have a small collection of various CD’s and, or DVD’s for distributions of Linux and, or Unix which I would love to share with you. Please bring some extra blanks and get the media burned for your favorite distro only at the cost of a smile 
I shall arrange to download other such images also, provided these are freely and legally available somewhere via Internet.
I proudly, have been maintaining and, or submitting a few ports for FreeBSD project since December 2006. The authorized volunteers however, take time to approve and, or commit new and, or updated ports; may be due to the workload they handle.
Hence, I have created a public repository for sharing these with all those of you, who either are interested to use or help me in testing these ports, even before these are committed to the real ports tree. Please feel free to download, test and, or report any bugs; a feedback of yours though not mandatory, shall highly be appreciated.
After downloading the requisite and, or suggested <whatever>.shar.gz file(s) for a port, to extract and, or install, all you need to do is, as root repeat the following for the *.shar.gz files:
# zcat <whatever>.shar.gz |sh
or for the <whatever>.patch.gz file(s):
# zcat <whatever>.patch.gz |patch -d/ -p1
Now, visit the main ports’ directory and perform:
# cd /usr/ports/<category>/<port> # make install clean
That’s all, and you have done it!
An updated YATE port is available for FreeBSD. I hope it will also build fine on all BSD variants; haven’t tested. Please report your success and, or failure on other variants.
WWW: http://YATE.null.ro
To install/upgrade the ports download:
To extract, build and install:
# zcat <path>/yate-devel.shar.gz |sh
# zcat <path>/spandsp-devel.patch.gz |patch -d/ -p1
# portupgrade -f -o comms/spandsp-devel spandsp
# cd /usr/ports/net/yate-devel
# make install
or
# make package
Before running csup and, or cvsup do create and, or update a refuse file:
# cat <<EOT >>/var/db/sup/refuse
ports/comms/spandsp-devel*
ports/net/yate-devel*

A yate ports collection for FreeBSD created by Alex Rodin ‘alex DOT rodin AT gmail DOT com’ is also/already available in the yate mailing list archive. Kindly note, that this one is different and also includes, though small, but the following enhancements over the latest CVS head:
I’m not that expert in SIP, H.323, IAX2, Jingle and other such protocols and, or PSTN technology, so I request you to please post your relevant and, or technical questions to Null Team only; the creators of Yate at http://yate.null.ro/pmwiki/index.php?n=Main.MailList
In its current incarnation the Google AdSense is definitely a fraud. IMHO, thousands if not millions of AdSense publishers have already been robbed by invalid click Google excuses till date. As and when an AdSense publisher site and, or blog starts earning a good amount or starts attracting visitors, the Google AdSense people usually come up with this standard excuse:
It has come to our attention that invalid clicks and/or impressions have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have herefore disabled your Google AdSense account. Please understand that this was a necessary step to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.
And publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payments. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers, who knows?
On searching even at Google itself, you too may find:

Obviously google adsense is a fraud
Don’t Get Caught With Google Adsense Click Fraud

AdSense Has A Scam Side
Neither the publishers have enough of the skills and, or expertise to verify who has created the said invalid clicks nor the Google is fair enough to show you the records. Moreover, it is not that easy a job to prove that the records have not been doctored. I’m not lawyer, but I feel that the Google Adsense business in it present form is not transparent.
I therefore, request all AdSense publishers to stop displaying Google advertisements with immediate effect and ask these Google people for some transparent method such as pay per thousand impressions excluding all page views from local network and, or the server itself.
Here is one of the nicest mails, I ever have received:
I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side in to a large workroom filled with many angels.
My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, “This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayers are received.” I looked around in this area, it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved down via a long corridor until we reached the second section. The angel then said to me, “This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings, the people asked for, are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.”
I noticed again how busy it was there also. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small apartment. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. “This is the Acknowledgment Section”, my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. “How is it that? There’s no work going on here?”, I asked.
“So sad …”, the angel sighed, “After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.” “How does one acknowledge God’s blessings?”, I asked. “Simple,”, the angel answered.
Just say, “Thank you, God.”
“What blessings should they acknowledge?”, I asked.
“If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, shoes in your feet, a roof over the head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy people. And if you are reading this on your own computer, you are part of the top 1% in the world who has that opportunity.”, seemed he has lot more to tell.
Also …, “If you woke up this morning with more health than illness … you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.” and, “If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation … you are ahead of 700 million people in the world.”
He continued, “If you can attend a prayer meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.”
… “If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you’re unique to all those in doubt and despair.”
Ok, what now? How can I start?
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are
