@tim_g I guess it comes down to passion. And that last comment hurts my soul. I weep for your ears.

  I used to like music. After upgrading all my stuff and re-listening to all my music , I love it.

@coliver yeah she changed it recently. Previous one was better though it was in a mirror so you could see her phone and her taking a selfie lol

@irj Oh I got one of these too I get emails from.

Yeah they are the only ones with a profile picture like that

@jaredbusch So the guy writing abut all this is really exaggerating the effect. This does not seem to be that important. Anyone researching and buying Ubiquity products will be aware of their limitations anyway. everything has some sort of limitations. I mean if you cant event notice it on a 50/50 line then how big a deal is this really?

Good points. It just depends on what your motivation is I guess. If you do not want anyone to read it then sure write a huge wall of text but if you want to have a conversation about something then break it up. That is how I write on my website for tech beginners, www.aindien.com/blog, because if you don't then those beginners will leave quickly.

Sometimes I catch myself writing too much at once but I "try" to make a paragraph every 3-4 lines. It makes it easier to read and for people to respond to. If I need advice on something then obviously I should make it easy for people to respond. It just makes sense.

It is important to remember that whatever community you participate to be friendly. Here, we are all generally friends so having a conversation is a good thing and writing well helps that process. Good video thanks!

@dashrender Yeah I agree with that. I think I will offer to do it for free this time and explain to him its a learning opportunity for me.

@jaredbusch Ok thanks a lot Jared for the advice.

@eddiejennings I would like the learning opportunity and doing it for a buddy on a real small scale seems the best time to do that.

@dashrender Just got home. Ok thanks Dashrender. So at least not horrible and sounds doable after a week or 3

Context:

I have a good buddy that owns a small business and he wants me to redo his phone system with voip. He wants 3 phones so its a small endeavor. He then told me he wanted me to do it because he had been reading up on other people doing PBX solutions. I told him I had never done this before and he would be better off getting someone with more experience in this. He insists that i do it because I have already done a lot of general work for him including his computer system and audio/video stuff. He has always paid well so I guess I can't complain but I don't even know how involved this is going to be. I assume a hosted solution like with Vultr but I don't know for sure if that is accurate or not.

Questions:
Is this something I can figure out and do in a month's time?
What all do I need to consider?
How do I charge for this now?
How does the monthly fees for him work in the future after he has been set up?
Will there likely be support to do eventually when and if things break?
Anything else I need to know from those experienced with this?
