Sick. Wrong. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I haven't perpetrated a bogus hack in too long. Today's line of reasoning:

I want to be able to zephyr people from my phone.

Oh. I suppose I can write a proxy script.

Cool. now I can send mail to addr+username@fsck.com and it'll get zephyred to them. (for @people, it's username%domain) [1]

Oh. better lock that down, so it can't get trivially spammed.

There. only from me and anyone with a tmobile phone.

That was easy. what about zephyring classes?

Oh. Um. There we go. addr+class+instance @fsck.com or addr+class+ @fsck.com will blast them out.

But I'm definitely not doing the reverse.

*an hour or two pass*

Oh. I guess I could twist owl into doing my bidding.

So, now you can zwrite szs@fsck.com -i address and it'll get emailed out with the correct return address.

Now I just wish I could get my personal messages SMSed to me when I'm away from the computer.

Oh, my evil plans amuse you, avacon?

*10 minutes pass*

Thanks to erik, owl now has the features I need to get my personals smsed to me when I've got a zaway running including the word "phone"

I made something today. Even if it's arguably the worst collection of duct tape and chewing gum I've put together in years.

[1] Ask me privately and I'll point you at the address.
