Highrise SMS notifications

July 5th, 2009 Petros No comments

I really love Highrise. It is a 37signals service that helps you organise your contacts, your conversations with these contacts, cases, deals and tasks. Highrise also sends task notifications using SMS. Unfortunately it only supports specific providers for certain countries only. My country (Greece) as well as many other countries all over the world are not included in that list. Nevertheless, I managed to make Highrise send notifications to my mobile phone through Google Calendar.

Android

November 16th, 2007 Petros No comments

Nowadays, I use C# to write code most of the time. I don’t have the time I used to have for researching and learning new languages/frameworks/etc., but I try my best to learn something new, at least once every 8-12 months. My last try was Ruby on Rails. Still trying to tame the beast.

A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon Android, and I have to admit it looks really interesting. I would like to learn more about it and even develop a small application on my spare time (is there any?), although I would have to remember my Java along the way.

There is also an interesting competition going on for the best apps written for the platform, that could win quite a large amount of money.

Now, what is more difficult? Thinking an idea about a mobile app or implementing it?
