The phone needs an application where we can configure which of all these ideas we want to use (sending coordinates & phone no, detecting if out of reach from BT device, etc).
I would like my phone to log the GPS info + current phone no to my server, where the information would be stored in a mysql DB with a timestamp. It should always send the information when free internet is available. I would also like it to send the same information over an SMS to a preconfigured phone no if current_sim is not in the allowed_sim_cards list allowed=0; for (i=0;i<num_of_legal_sim_cards: i++){ if (current_sim == legal_sim_cards[i]) allowed++; } if (!allowed) send_edata_sms(receiver_no); On 4/4/08, Federico Lorenzi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One of the really cool ideas is the bluetooth one as mentioned before. > You can pick up a cheap bluetooth headset for next to nothing, and all > you do is carry it around with you.

It is much better to use a versioning system like svn or cvs on the server for two reasons: 1) If you mess up some config files or delete something, you can always get it back 2) It would be less information to sync Setting up a svn server is very easy. -- Please don't send me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
