NAPS2 Notes
11/1/2024 – Switching boxes over to Linux – need a driver for this scanner or some easily available scanner
- NAPS2 – Not Another PDF Scanner
- NAPS2 – Download – has a Linux version. Windows version worked with scanning project "Julius Andrae – Catalog"
I have 3 of these scanners because they are simple cheap and light and because I keep finding them for 5 bucks. They have a depth of field that allows some degree of a 3 dimensional object to be scanned.
You can get them directly from the MicroTek site here:

Jim Dude and the Asterisk software – he is in a wheel chair
Just got off of the phone with Jim Dude. He is quite a character and I will be talking to him more. Sold a microcontroller board to him as I was moving out of Saint Louis.

Asterisk was a functional concept, but had no real way of becoming a practical useful thing, since it didnt, at that time, have a concept of being able to talk directly (or very well indirectly for that matter, being that there wasnt much, if any, in the way of practical VOIP hardware available) to any Telecom hardware (phones, lines, etc). Its marriage with the Zapata Telephony system concept and hardware/driver/ library design and interface allowed it to grow to be a real switch, that could talk to real telephones, lines, etc.
