Introducing Simply Remind Me Pro
Sunday, 10th November, 2024
Simply Remind Me was designed for people to send themselves reminders - hence the name, Simply Remind Me.
Over the years, I’ve witnessed many businesses who are using Simply Remind Me to send reminders to their customers. Everything from dentist surgeries reminding their patients of their upcoming appointments, to Government embassies reminding tourists when their visa expires!
Whilst this works (and are novel uses of the app) it’s not what it was designed for.
Introducing... Simply Remind Me Pro. Built for businesses and dedicated users.
You are invited to the next generation of Simply Remind Me
Monday, 7th October, 2024
Back in October 2023, I teased a complete re-imagination of the “event” in Simply Remind Me.

Almost a year later, and I’m ready to invite people to the new event/reminder experience in Simply Remind Me.

Re-imagineering the event in Simply Remind Me
Tuesday, 10th October, 2023
Rapidly approaching 500 new users this year, my free email and simple text message reminder app - Simply Remind Me - is earning a loyal following in the world.
In July, I had 131 new users that have signed up in 2023. As of today, I've trebled this to 466.
All of these new users are bringing great suggestions and feedback - particularly from a competitor's service that stopped working earlier this year.
I'm rolling all this feedback and suggestions into a complete overhaul of the "event experience" which I'm excited to preview today.

Today, 14th May, I discovered that SMS messages sent from my Simply Remind Me app since 1st March were not being delivered by my SMS provider.
Because they were successfully accepted by the gateway, Simply Remind Me correctly deducted the credits from your account. But the messages failed to arrive at their intended handsets.

Manage software package upgrades on Linux with NodeBeagle
Friday, 21st January, 2022
Updates for devices running the Linux operating system come in the form of packages. Using the Linux system’s package manager, you install new packages and upgrade them as new versions are released.
Now sure you can log onto each Linux device and run apt update && apt upgrade, or dnf update, depending on your distribution. But what if you have several – even hundreds – of devices to keep updated? And how do you know what new updates are available?
