Awesome use of technology…
August 31st, 2008
So, thanks to more than a few scheduling errors, I have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn tomorrow.
I own an alarm clock, which is set, but I don’t trust me. Enter WakerUpper.com…
These champions have taken Asterisk and a literally $11/mo Voice over IP account and created a brilliant, automated wake-up call service.
See, I LOVE these kind of innovations. They do things on the cheap, but use robust and sound open-source technologies.
I have to wake up at 5 am tomorrow, and WakerUpper will be there… calling me at 5am, 5:15, 5:30, 5:40, 5:45, and 5:50… If I don’t get up, it is definately not WakerUpper’s fault.
Thanks, WakerUpper, and thanks to you, Asterisk Open Source.
But is the excuse for “Why were you late to work?” being “My internet was down!” gonna work with your boss!?!?!
I stick with the trusty iPhone alarm clock…set to vibrate…and placed under my pillow. The pulsing vibration coupled with cellular radiation is the best way to start any morning..
