There’s something delightfully Wallace and Gromitey about Poke’s BakerTweet, but not content with its floury goodness I decided to hack it around a bit.
I’ve put together an app which takes the feed from Albion’s Twitter account, checks for updates, filters them (I’m only really interested in bread), and if (according to Fire Eagle) I’m within a mile of the bakery, sends me an SMS.
I’m thinking about turning it into some sort of web service – and maybe Albion will even pay for the SMS charges – but for now, I’m just enjoying the occasional ding to let me know there’s a loaf waiting.
