This is my application that I have developed for Android. It’s nothing fancy, and doesn’t have a very cool or geeky functionality. It just serves my purpose – switching my phone to silent mode (and manage other audio settings) when I am in office. I know this has been done many times already, but I wanted to do this on the basis of the Wi FI Access Point available nearby.

My office has an access point I use to connect my official laptop to the office network when I need to carry a machine to the in house meetings. So I reasoned  that being in  vicinity of this access point means that my phone has to be in the silent mode.  And so I developed this app.

Currently, its available here [[LINK OBSOLETE]] as an alpha version. I will put it up on Android Marketplace at the price of 1 dollar, but I am making the alpha available for free, because I know it currently is not in a state that I charge anything for it :)

These people sure know how to leave their mark.  I should have been careful with my password in the first place, it was too easy. Looking through what they did and then working my way to get my site back, I could figure out the steps they followed:

1. They guessed my password using brute force, or something more clever, like sql injection.

2. Then they proceeded to  lock me out of my own site by changing my wordpress login, this step makes me feel they used sql injection.

3.They modified my existing wordpress theme to tell me and the visitors that they were here.

Till now, it seems they didn’t mean any serious harm to my site, but  I will have to do some research to really be sure.

I have been lazy about it, no I have been like an old-trunk-not moved-since-ages about it, but now I am definitely going to get it rolling. Now I finally have atleast one person who thinks it’s a good thing. He’s someone I know from work, who has a real penchant technology and activism, unlike me who is super lazy.
I am also trying to get in touch with a few people on the the social networking sites, primarily outlook, and possibly the technology forums which people from this area would often visit.

I am currently working on a new android application. It’s about easing one process that we often have to deal with. I will add more info when I have taken this app further.

I posted this to test the Wordpress to MySpace plugin.
And then I gave a start to my next modifications to firefox addon called ReloadAll!. So I kept this post as a reminder for me to finish them and planned to delete it after that is done.
But I changed my mind and I am keeping this post to update you that I have submitted the version 0.9.5 of ReloadAll! to Addons.Mozilla.org and it should hopefully be available for general availability after AMO review process.
Also, I have released version 0.2 of Wordpress To Myspace, which now has an options page to enter the MySpace access token and secret. If you are upgrading from the previous version, copy the previous token and secret strings from the wpmyspaceupdatestatus.php file and save them somewhere, before you do the upgrade. Otherwise you will lose them and you will need to fetch them again.
For any suggestions, queries or issues with Reload All!, please leave a comment at this permalink , or mail me at unitedronaldo@yahoo.com.
For Wordpress to MySpace, use this permalink , or mail me at the above email address.


I am currently working on another tiny plugin. This one is called Wordpress to MySpace and it is meant for Wordpress.

It allows you to update your Myspace status with the title of your latest Wordpress blog post.

I would say its in an early alpha stage. Please try it out and give me your suggestions on how I can improve it.
