This afternoon I was working with the SMS based tracking into my TeamTrack software. I did actually get it working this afternoon despite some issues, such as not actually having the SMS phone yet – and also with an SMS control that still has some bugs. SInce I did not have the phone I was sending the position reports from a PC based application from my PC… Just faking the position reports. I actually just sent SMS reports from the phone to it’s own phone number – loopback mode.

This actually worked well, apart from a few timeouts in the drivers for the SMS. I ended up getting multiple SMS’s sent, and even more received. This I believe is due to bugs in the serial port driver which should be able to be fixed without too many issues. I would send one position report, three would get sent over the air, and five or six copies would be received. Within a few days this will be working correctly I would guess. Tomorrow I will probably be doing some debugging of the SMS driver as well as doing some user interface options for when I actually get the phone.

Right now I am having some time off… Watching a Katie Holmes movie called ‘Teaching Mrs Tingle’. Looks like an interesting movies – but It really does seem to pale into insignificance compared to ’10 things I gate about you’. I will see how much of the movie I will see… I am starting to get tired.
