For some people writing a book may be fairly easy, but for me, writing a book seems like a monumental task, especially with a project like trixbox CE that changes almost on a daily basis. The first book was supposed to be about Asterisk@Home and was almost finished when AMP became FreePBX with a bunch of new features and major sections of the book had to get redone. Just as I was finishing it up AGAIN, Andrew called me to tell me that it was changing to trixbox with a bunch of new features, and again, major sections of the book had to get redone.
This time was no exception except many times it was ME making decisions about trixbox CE that would dramatically change things I had already written for the book. It’s one thing to be at the mercy of someone else, but when you are causing your own grief, its that much worse! The first book was a good overview of trixbox and came in at 148 pages. The new book, as yet unamed, is a very detailed dive into trixbox CE and its inner workings, along with maintenance, troubleshooting, and security sections with a page count of over 340 pages. Its finally over and done and time to take up a new hobby in my new-found spare time.
