Featured Project:

Since January 2017, GeekLabs and friends have been building ring-u, a auto-configuring small business phone system that uses several commonly available VoIP/SIP phones. Soft-launch was September 15th, 2017. That's 9 months from "do this thing" to hardware and software designed, built and in-stock. It's currently using a couple of "Tier 1" back end telecom providers for actual service delivery, but makes using complex internet telephony technologies very simple. The plan: build a sustainable profitable business.

Jan 2022 update: Hello Hub Version 2 released. And rocks! Customers love the OLED display showing network info and system status.

May 2022 update: Serving happy customers in more than 48 states, plan worked.

Other Projects:

MELEE: Mail Engine

A simple and powerful mailing list manager. Runs as a user and only requires 1 database table. Full MIME, plain text, PGP Signed and PGP Encrypted receipt and delivery options. Works great with some basic sysadmin skills and a mail server that does IMAP and SMTP. Basic SQL knowledge is useful for setup.

Melee - a confused mass of people. "the melee of people that was always thronging the streets"

"MGB" Endpoints

The clients call them MGB's - Mike's Geek Boxes. Leveraging OpenVPN, Embedded Arm Computers (Libre Computing Renegade's), Debian for Arm, a bespoke VPN and an advanced version of "Kitty" for CAT/MRI Scan, these enable remote monitoring, diagnostic and use of medical imaging devices. Need some bizarre remote access and control capabilities? We learned a lot that can be leveraged for other applications.

Faxerthal

Faxerthal.com is the silliest project imaginable in 2022, enabling modern technologically advanced humans to communicate with faxerthals, neanderfaxes and faxanderthals from the pre-email and website age. Faxerthal.com exists because technology insular faxerthals won't stop requiring people to fax things to them and I keep running into people that need to fax things to them and it was a chance to build a new from the ground up application framework and CSS. Heck, it might even make a few bucks.

GeekLabs 3D

Yeah, who doesn't have a 3D printer? Surprisingly, few of the people with them can design parts or complete items. GeekLabs has designed products for a wide range of markets. Images and CAD/AMF/STL files will be available here soon. This is a guilt ridden placeholder to remind me.
