- patio11 18y agoIt's been something of a reoccurring dream of mine to control my server remotely from my cellphone. I spent some time making my backend cell phone friendly and it was one of my best ideas ever in terms of productivity enhancement. Although actually using the web service on my cellphone costs me about $50 extra month (grrr), the ability to access customer records means I can handle 90% of support inquiries through my cell phone. This means that I can make productive use out of the 2 hours a day I spend on the train. Yay for reducing dead time. Now if only I could do Rails and Prawn development on the phone...
- bprater 18y agoThe concept is great, but the restriction that Twitter puts on the number of queries you can do an hour makes it reasonably non-useful for on-demand tasks like restarting the webserver. It has the seed of a great idea, though -- everyone has a Twitter client on their phone. You can sit down to any browser and issue commands.
- jawngee 18y agoWe use jabber for this. It's realtime, easier to secure, doesn't rely on a third party, etc.
- patrickg-zill 18y agoMaybe it is just because it is late, but I can't think of anything dumber than this.
