  1. This is a GREAT video!
    I wont be using SMS, but E-Mails directly.
    First thing I want to try out is the activation of the alarm system by my server (in case I forget it on a spontaneous trip).
    or turning off the heaters in the same scenario.
    or controlling some x10 stuff. So much potential :-D

  2. Hey somebody stole my computer and I’m try see how can I track it down. If can you email back at bcaldwell27ymail.com

  3. SMS wasn’t delivered. I used all the network viz. BSNL, Airtel, Aircel, Idea, Reliance, Vodafone etc. but msg didnt go.
