We all know what happens to Child Actors: sudden fame and questionable friends often result in sad stories. Some overdose on drugs, others cling desperately to semi-celebrity, and many just get a normal job. Well, the same thing happens with Animal Actors: when these fuzzy stars retreat from the limelight they do their best to keep their dignity and make ends meet. Krappy the Monkey, arguably the most famous poo-flinging chimp in the internet age, has more or less retired to the world of commercial acting and stuntwork. His latest gig involves landing a Jet Pack during football game halftime shows. The crowd loves it, but the danger is very real. Help keep Krappy alive and not on fire, and give the fans something to cheer for. You are not lost to us, Krappy. We still love your beautiful smile, and there’s always time for a comeback.

Email Scheduler is just that, an email scheduler.

Release notes:

I have updated the Email Scheduler program. I added code to have outlook check mail for each account that is active in the settings, and has a poll setting of greater than “Manually”. What that means is, on the time it is supposed to start checking mail, it will force outlook to check the mail. This will hopefully fix the random not checking mail issues some of you are having. Please let me know if this does indeed fix the issue, since for some reason, on my phone it works without this code. Also please report any errors.

I am still working on the IMAP service piece I have talked about. I have ran into a problem with C++ blocking server responses after a timeout. I hate working in C, I was hoping to be able to use a library on this, but since it blocks, and I don’t have the source for it, it looks like I am going to have to write all the SSL code too, which I am not sure I want/can do. Anyways, I think I am going to finish up the .NET version of this, and release it instead of the native. It will be optional, so those of you that don’t want to use it because of it’s size won’t have to. Look for it within a couple of weeks.

Task Facade, previously known as Dynamo 3, is a cool, animated task manager for your PocketPC 2003/05/06 device. Say goodbye to boring text lists of running programs and instead manage your programs by sliding in images of all your running applications onto your screen. For each program on your device an image is saved and when you click the hotkey they all zoom onto your screen. Simply click the one you want and it will increase to fill the screen. Quickly seeing all the running programs is far more efficient than having to read through a text-based task list so Task Facade can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.

Task Facade also allows you to quit programs from inside the image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do.

As well as just looking generally cooler, Task Facade offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.

This application turns your phone into a full remote surveillance tool – however, you are not the active spy, but the phone will alert you whenever something interesting is happening.

The basic setup is simple. Set the “agent” – that’s the contact’s telephone number that should be informed in the case of an emergency. Next, place the phone at the place that you want to monitor, for example next to a baby.

From now on, the application will constantly monitor the audio level of its surroundings. If they exceed a pre-defined threshold, the phone will automatically call the agent. As a normal voice call is made, you can now hear the surroundings of the phone in order to judge if something serious is happening.
