    • ]]>     I’ve decided to actually develop some Android programming skills, and as my first project I’m making an app version of my Silent Night night-time ringer silencer.

    Truth be told, I’ve been working on the code for a few weeks now, and I’ve run into issues with the Android OS stopping my background Service, then restarting it, well, weirdly. It seems to be the same issue that stops my ASE version if the script has been running for more than, say, 6 hours.

    I’m planning to release a basic version as a freebie, and a more feature-rich version as either paid or ad-supported.

    Here’s the part where I ask for some help:

    I own one Android phone, the Moto Droid a855. I need to test this thing on multiple phones and tablets (if you really need a ringer silencer on a tablet), and I’m not made of money. If any of you would like to do some testing, go create an account over on the project page and leave a comment here with your username. If you contribute your time, I’ll repay your kindness with free releases of the future premium versions. And a credit in the about dialog.

    Thank you in advance!

    • ]]>     I coded a little Python script for ASE which silences the phone’s ringer at a specified time, and un-silences it afterwards. Perfect for when you want to receive phone calls in the morning, but don’t want to hear the email chirp when you get spam at 2am.

    Details are on the project page.
