You leave your cell phone at home, but are able to log in remotely and access your phone via bluetooth to check your text messages and see who has called.
Pending is the ability to get the mac to send me an email every time I get a text, but it can be done. I just don't know applescript well enough. Although here is reason to learn.

You truly are an uber-geek my friend.
You must have been expecting a Very Important Text. Thing is, do you really want your mac to send you a mail every time you get a text, wouldn’t it be easier to like, just bring your phone with you? No?

I didn’t say I was a clever geek, hence the category for this post.

I’m surprised you neglected to mention that the BluePhoneElite site doesn’t look right when viewed in firefox.
This usually causes your ‘SevitzDotKnickers’ to get in a twist! :)

Actually it doesn’t really work in IE6 either…
5. Adrian
Works fine in Safari … which is ok because it’s for MACs.

Only an engineer would go to such lengths to solve the symptom of a problem.
Better to solve the problem itself. Matthew has the answer above… take the damn phone with you ya muppet! ;-)

But once the phone is forgotten, your solution becomes redundant, mine doesn’t.

You always say if you put something in Outlook you won’t forget it. Well, put ‘don’t forget phone’ in Outlook then. Remotely accessing your frickin’ phone smacks of overkill on the techie-geek front.

If my phone or wallet is out of my pocket for more than a few seconds, my legs freak out. I can’t believe you go places without your phone. You are no true geek.

No, I reckon you found these websites recently and left your phone at home ‘accidentally’ just so you could try out the remote access thingy. Coz that’s really how much of a true geek you really are.

LOL I think you might be onto something matthew…
Adrian, if you find a proper solution to NOT forgetting your phone then this enter POST is redundant!!
Something like a child lock on your front door which, when you open it, plays a message asking “have you got your phone with you?” before you can open the door. There. Proper solution that.
Ummmm… I think you’ve just dragged me down to your level! (up? sideways??)

the doorbell rang at 11pm last night. me, mike and the dog looked at each other to work out who had forgot keys… a Member of the General Public had found my phone on the road outside the house and was trying to return it to its owner. firstly: i hadn’t realised i had dropped it secondly: it must have been there awhile as we were away this weekend thirdly: my phone is that terrible that nobody else wants it
sucks to be the owner of my phone.
