findme rocks!
An invite would be awesome! Thank you.

Comment by m00z | March 5, 2008 | 1:51 pm

Hey Erica,
would love to test this, please send me an invite if you still have some left. Thanks!

I would like to play with FireEagle if you have any invites left

Comment by ryanworrell | March 5, 2008 | 2:39 pm

Erica could I get an Invite please??

Comment by BoredMind | March 5, 2008 | 2:46 pm

If you have any of those invites left could you please send one my way? I would really like to test of the functions of this new Yahoo service. Thanks

Comment by intervex.net | March 5, 2008 | 2:46 pm

Erica, great job with all the utilities you provide, I would love an invite for FireEagle if you still have any available. Keep up the great development work! -Mark

Comment by m00z | March 5, 2008 | 2:48 pm

Works great so far
Using as firefindme -g -F -d

Comment by intervex.net | March 5, 2008 | 3:10 pm

Seems like I got it working, the findme-better app seems to do a far more accurate job of pinpointing my location however. Definitely something I need to keep playing with. Thank you Erica for your hard work and amazingly fast response to my request for an invite. -Mark

Comment by intervex.net | March 5, 2008 | 3:19 pm

UPDATE: when I run firefindme with option -k -a -F the location returned in FireEagle is almost exact… the -g option seems to be what throws it off by over a block even if used in conjunction with -k and -a

Comment by Erica Sadun | March 5, 2008 | 3:24 pm

-g forces cell tower location, which isn’t as accurate as WiFi location.

Please do -h to see what all the options mean.

Oh and one more thing: add exit 0 to your shell scripts to preserve the health of the LaunchDaemon. (Tip thanks to the awesome jnewland)

Comment by Kinmar | March 5, 2008 | 4:52 pm

Erica, could you be a little more exact on what we need to do to add exit 0 for the newbies? Also is there a way to have it post your position to both twitter and fireeagle?

Comment by Kinmar | March 5, 2008 | 4:59 pm

Also is there any way to have it run with -g but only if it doesnt find anything with -k or -a? For times when were not in wifi range? Thanks again for any help.

Comment by vsc | March 5, 2008 | 6:12 pm

Still doesn’t work for -g. Debug returns the tower but no lat/lon. Prior versions worked properly.

Thoughts?

Comment by Kinmar | March 5, 2008 | 6:47 pm

@ vsc

-g works fine for me. Aside from it being rather inaccurate due to it going through the cell tower rather than wifi.

Comment by masimunes | March 5, 2008 | 7:38 pm

erica, i’d like to try fireEagle if you have the invites.

Comment by Starv | March 6, 2008 | 2:08 am

I’d love an invite as well!

Comment by boomersmech | March 6, 2008 | 2:52 am

Erica if you have another invie please let me know, Thanks!

Comment by OliverWS | March 6, 2008 | 9:45 am

I’d love an invite, if you still have any. Thanks so much for all you do!

Comment by nlieb48 | March 6, 2008 | 10:20 am

Erica,
Could you please post another step by step process for the findme project. I had everything working in the beginning but now I’m a little lost. For some reason I can’t get anything to send to twitter, but I can get the long & lat from findme.
Thanks

Comment by Hesam | March 7, 2008 | 3:17 am

Erica,

That’s what I get for taking a day off to not check your development status on FindMe. Please send me an invite if you’ve still got some left - I’d greatly appreciate it.

I’ve used your program findme and a little perl script on my website to lob my location and create a google map. Thanks so much for making this possible.

Comment by lyonanderson | April 7, 2008 | 2:23 am

Hi there,

Do you still have any invites left? Would love to have one

Comment by jeroenw | April 8, 2008 | 11:04 am

I’ve put up a little guide to integrate findme with WordPress:

http://www.jeroenwollaars.nl/?p=21

I could probably do much better, but this works for now.

See it all in action on the homepage.

Comment by bjorkollur | April 16, 2008 | 10:32 am

Hi Erica, if you have a invite left I would love to have one.

But two more point, to improof this app.
Is it posable to include the phone number from the SIM in the messages that is being sent to twitter, that way you could call and ask for your phone back.
Also if you could have the phone send a SMS to some “SPECIAL NUMBER” if if some one change the simcard.

But thanx for a grate app.

Comment by joephish | April 26, 2008 | 10:57 am

hmmm findme doesn’t seem to work here (London, UK), does it look up cells against a database?

By the way I’d love an invite erica! thanks

Comment by deeeep | April 29, 2008 | 3:40 pm

Comment by deeeep | April 30, 2008 | 2:05 am

Thanks Erica,

Help!

Comment by deeeep | April 30, 2008 | 2:19 am

Doh, moved files from /usr/local/bin/ to /var/mobile/ and it all automagically worked… Mea culpa!

Great app - I was looking for exactly this type of functionality - thanks.

If any fire eagle invites remaining, would be much appreciated.

Comment by putumutukas | July 6, 2008 | 8:54 am

Hello,
My warmest regards to Erica for this awesome utility but during my recent loss of a mobile phone i startet to search something similar to my iphone since half of my life is in this phone … So i found a excellent tool for nokia- guardian mobile which is transparent and when you enter a unauthorized sim into the phone it silenly reports the new phone nr, made calls and received calls to my preprogrammed number and also the location like findme does … so i just wanted to ask if there would be a possibility that you or someone else would develop a similar app for iphone- i would gladly pay for such a insurance that at least i can get some info about my phone after losing it .. currently i’ve bounced into lack of interest to track my phone by the police, by the mobile provider and all others so it would be superb if i could do something on my own to get it back …

with best regards,
putumutukas
