I’d never heard of this modular phone platform before today. It sounds awesome, not least because of the whole idea of being able to move bits of phone into my own super computer. That would be very cool.

Useful resource if you’re using the iOS Workflow app
If you know about the iOS “Workflow”, then you’ll know just how useful it is for automating simple things on your iDevice. Well this site is a great (and unofficial) resource for workflows.

I thought I’d post these as I’d not got around to putting them here.
Another mention over at littleBits
Those lovely people over at littleBits have been kind enough to give me another feature as well, on their maker’s page. You can view it here.
Restarting iOS Automation and beyond
That sounds a bit Buzz Lightyear doesn’t it. It probably isn’t nearly that cool though sadly. Automating doing stuff on your iPhone doesn’t have the same appeal as being Buzz Lightyear. Anyway, back to the subject in hand. I do post about this from time to time. I mention stuff about automating and how it can save time and get things done quicker etc. However, I’m not entirely good at practicing what I preach. My own experiments in automation haven’t been as fruitful. But I plan to change things over the next few weeks and months.
My plan is to find ways of automating things that I actually need to do rather than just automating stuff that seems cool. I also want to only automate when the process of automation doesn’t take so much time to set up that it actually outweighs the time saved in automating whatever it is I wanted to do. Does that make sense?
I’d also like to automate across platforms, into the real world where possible with stuff like WEMO, and find ways to get things done that make sense for me. That’s the plan anyway. I’ll be posting about what works, what doesn’t, what I just don’t get at all, and the stuff I find useful along the way. I hope that it’ll help me or rather, motivate me to get on with it, and it might be useful for one or two people out there too. We shall see.
