Morning meeting today with a new client. Should be a fairly quick meeting, but you never can tell. Sometimes the meetings that you expect to take five minuts take hours. And the reverse is true sometimes too! Then I need …
Slight problem with the SMS control. Only minor one. The code to send SMS messages is working, but for some reason it is being a tiny bit too aggressive with the formatting requirements of responses. As an example, I sent …
I have traced the problem with the SMS control. It has to do with the PIN NUMBER function of the SonyEricsson modems. The cards do not have a PIN number requested. And I should have worked this out a lot …
ARGH. Some issues with the SMS control. I am not sure what is wrong, but the software cannot seem to work out what the SMS Message Control Centre number is. This is strange. It used to work, but is not …
My VoIP phone arrived a bit earlier. It is actually a nice phone – seems like good audio quality, and only took about 25 minutes to configure. A manual would have helped, but I am not sure how much. The …
Home after a couple of meetings. Not sure what I can say about them, but here goes. The first meeting went well… I found a parking spot at the Redfern Shopping Centre. It is amazing how these little shopping centres …
I need to pick up a couple of pre-paid SIM CARDS with Telstra today. They offer 1c per SMS between prepaid users, and this will be good to load test the SMS software as well as to test the SMS …
This morning I have a meeting with a company doing a Reality TV show. Before being scared with the prospect of me appearing on ‘Big Brother’ or ‘Survivor’, or even worse, ‘Australian Idol’, do not be alarmed. I have not …
The MythBusters show is really cool. Discovery have now released some videos that did not quite make it into the shows – dues to potential liability with the actions shown. Some things are apparently too dangerous or irresponsible to show, …
I did a 3-4Km run a bit earlier. Same distance as my last time, although I think that I did it slightly faster. I cannot be sure. I really need to drag out my GPS and start taking it with …
The cable for the SMS application worked well. Actually, so did the application, but I am getting ahead of myself here. I got much of the programming outsourced. Frankly I could have done the work without issue, but right now …
One quote written, one phone call receieved putting me onto a short list for a Request for Quotes. And about to make up a serial cable. Not a bad effort for a morning I would guess. And it is only …
A friend of mine just MSN’ed me from New Zealand. He is having some issues with his satellite dish – or more correctly the satellite finder for it. This is a device that you put on the lead and will …
Once again the to-do list is expanding. I do get things off it, but rather slowly it seems. Before bed tonight I intend to get a proposal to a client down south of the border. The problem I am having …
More work… Bids to prepare… Software to write. Hardware to build. I think this year is going to be amazing. I think I finally have a buyer for my SMS based tracking solution. 90% of the software is already designed …
