Oh I figure it out:

In php.ini, change date.timezone to the correct timezone will fix the crash.

Fantastic! It works right out of the box.

I would like to report a bug: If I clicked on ‘Month Report’ it crashed. This is the error log:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘DateTime::__construct(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ‘Asia/Bangkok’ for ‘ICT/7.0/no DST’ instead’ in /var/www/html/agcdr/application/controllers/ReportsController.php:62\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/agcdr/application/controllers/ReportsController.php(62): DateTime->__construct(’2011-12-01′)\n#1 /var/www/html/agcdr/application/classes/Router.php(114): ReportsController->month()\n#2 /var/www/html/agcdr/public/index.php(103): Router->loader()\n#3 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/html/agcdr/application/controllers/ReportsController.php on line 62

Mine is a CentOS 6.2 32bit

I have a question and then a suggestion on top of it. I have a client that is looking to see a report of the extensions inbound+outbound usage. Along witht hat they want to ability for it to email an entire team 4 times a day. They currently have this on their traditional PBX. Any thoughts would help. I am about to install this to see if you have the extension usage report.

Indeed, I did see your request. My apologies for not acting on it sooner, I have been busy. I’m going to implement that and a few other AGCDR issues over the coming weeks. Thank you for your interest.

Hello!

Thank you for your system.

At first, as wrote on Google Code, it would be great to define time period on which data on summary page displayed.

Hi Stuart,
WONDERFUL bike you have there… when you have a moment, could you please pop me an email as I’d love to ask you some questions about it? I had one like it when I was a teenager as well… fond memories :)

I could not agree more with your choice of person. He was first on my list!

Try padded cycling underwear; does the same job as cycling shorts, without making you look so daft. Secondly, get a 1:25 000 map of where you’re going; those work rather well. Compasses aren’t needed unless you’re out on open, featureless moors.

Finally, a really wide front tyre is passable front suspension.

Comment on No to the Alternative Vote by Ricey

The Australian survey asked 1012 people the following question:
“Currently, elections for the *Federal* House of Representatives, or lower house, use a preferential voting system. This is where voters indicate an order of preferences for *all* candidates, and these preferences are taken into account when deciding which candidate wins. (PAUSE). An alternative system would be “first past the post”, where voters only vote for one candidate and the candidate with the most votes wins. Would you personally prefer…?” “A preferential system” “A first past the post system” (choices offered randomly)
That’s a bit of a false dichotomy as it offers ranking all candidates or ranking one. AV as proposed here gives the option of doing either and any inbetween. The poll got 57% FPTP, 37% preferential, 5% dunno. There’s an interesting split in that preference seems to shift from preferential to FPTP as respondents get older, perhaps they get hacked off with their governments. Certainly in their last election FPTP would have given them a stronger coalition government – but still a coalition. I think Australia’s had AV since the end of WWI and brought in mandatory voting shortly afterwards. Apparently now 29% want voluntary voting. The survey author says “When voters are dissatisfied with what’s on offer from the major parties, voluntary voting gives them a powerful form of political self expression – withholding their vote. Nothing could send a clearer message to political parties that they need to lift their game.” There’s quite some “political self expression” going on in the UK in recent elections!
