Ok so unfortunately I'm having to stop the development on the App front for the time being. A list of priorities and deadline means my new project will be taking much more priority, as this will be related to work more so. 

Project lookdown - http://sourceforge.net/projects/lookdown/

Overview: 

• Project lookdown is an OpenSource Project, based currently on Windows.
• The mission is to add another level of security measure to identify machines when lost/stolen

UPDATE:1

Always been thinking of this idea, and with recent events (iPhone stolen) this has kind of given me a bit more intensive to try and see why there hasn't been any movement on this. Every year around 600000 computers are stolen, thats not including phones. But all now are connecting to the Internet in a way there somthing this powerful medium can do to find it if it re-connects?

 What if a machine gets stolen, The next time it gets internet connection it sends you a email of where it is using software installed on the machine? Or if ISP's get involved (slim chance) it notifies or checks against a global list of MAC Addresses and relays this onto the authorities.  

Just blogging away some ideas, there are a few products available on the net, but have you heard of any? Thought so, why isn't there a uniform way of dealing with this. It does seem relatively easy to setup.

Peace.

So okay, Thomas and I are on a 6 week campaign of a quest to do 100 press-ups straight so far we are both on week 2 and have sore arms. If you're serious about increasing your strength, do follow the six week training program and you'll soon be on your way to completing 100 consecutive push ups!

Below is the 1st week plan. Training on Mon, Wed and Friday. 60 seconds break between each set. So far so good!

Week 1 Day 1

Set1: 10  Set2: 12 Set3: 7 Set4: 7 Set5: 9

Week 1 Day 2

Set1: 10  Set2: 12 Set3: 8 Set4: 8 Set5: 12

Week 1 Day 3

Set1: 11  Set2: 15 Set3: 9 Set4: 9 Set5: 13

Okay so 'Project: get the HoT'

First iPhone app under construction, i'll keep this blog.project 2 weeks behind of where I am so I can fully document this..kinda.

So.. you wanna make an app huh?

Follow this then:

1. Get Started! - Valuable Guides

2. Become a Registered iPhone Developer. - You will need to be registered

3. iPhone Developer Program - Luckily like me, you could get funded from your work

4. Once you have your registration and your subscription, log into the iPhone Dev Center and begin downloading everything in sight: SDK, videos, sample apps, and documentation.

So getting very web2.0 savy, suppose being in the IT sector, might be handy. Anyway, will be a place for on goings from @houseoftrouser, my personal blog, and  any projects I will be getting my teeth into. Such as iPhone app's and others, more news soon.
