If this then Android

It's fair to say that when the IFTTT app (If this then that) first hit the iPhone, I was pretty damn excited. One of the first things I set it to do was monitor the price of Woolworths shares and shoot me a quick email if they rose or fall according to the prices I set.

Still enjoying this


Did I actually buy Woolworth shares? Er no, no I didn't. (Probably a good thing as I rarely received a 'The price has gone up!' email through IFTTT). But I did set it up for a few handy shortcuts that I'm still using to this day (including the one that posts a link up on my Twitter every time I post here on Blogger).
So you can only imagine how happy I am reading on Lifehacker that IFTTT has now come to play on Android...
(Not sure what the hell IFTTT this? Here's a quick link!)

Long story short, it's pretty much just as I remembered on ios only this time with a handy Android channel and plenty of handy Android recipes that people have already mixed together. So far in the 24 hours I've been playing with it I've backed up all my phones photos to Dropbox and instructed my Cyborg to mute when I'm on air and be as loud as I can tolerate when I'm one with the couch at home. I've barely scratched the surface.


There's more and more channels added daily and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it convinces the Lexus to fill up with petrol itself. Oh and it's still free which is a massive bonus. Plus you don't actually need either an Apple or Android device to get the most out of it. Find what you can achieve with the multitude of channels here.

Now to tailor make some recipes so money rains into my bank account everytime someone reads my name...

I need this recipe

The true meaning of Flo Rida's song 'Whistle'..

The whistle song? What's it about? Read on! Controversial I know but I'm about to reveal the true meaning behind the Whistle song by Flo Rida. Why? Because I'm getting the general feeling that people around me are really missing the true spirit of Mr Rida's epic masterpiece... We're getting right into the real Flo, yo. After all this time, it's still all about that wisal baby song!

Please don't ignore this massage

It's been a while between scam emails - life has been life, work has been hectic, I've been grunting and sweating my way through my exercise sessions and so I've been putting responding to random idiots through my email on the back burner.  Until today when I was kindly asked not to 'ignore this massage.' I hope it's a hot stone one! Trust me, I NEVER ignore a massage. Better set the record straight then...

Last M.A.M.E standing part 1: Almigo has a plan

Yes I've decided to embark on my most ambitious project to date (well aside from changing a rocker cover gasket on a WRX, on a scale of what I can do that one was pretty ambitious) and build a fully functional arcade emulation machine for the back shed. Aka one of these bad boys. Probably not this one though.. Do I need a fully functional arcade emulation machine? No not really. Will I complete a fully functional arcade emulation machine? Well hopefully, that is the plan. Will I break things along the way? Undoubtedly, this is me we're blogging about. Am I in for a world of pain for doing this? Damn straight. Come join me, this should be fun...(ish)
