There’s a new version of findme called firefindme in the TUAW findme folder. This version allows you to report your location to Yahoo’s new FireEagle location service. In order to use this utility with FireEagle, you’ll need to run two utilities: start with authtoken, which will launch Safari and ask you to log into Fire Eagle and authorize the FindMe application. Then run authcheck to retrieve your authorization certificate. You’re then golden to start using the -F option with findme.
I have a bunch of FireEagle invites, so leave a comment if you’d like one. I’ll need to respond to your comment so make sure you registered with a valid email.

By request, deviceinfo is in the individual Erica Utilities folder. It returns the platform (iPhone or iPod), code, serial number, imei, and model number from the command line.
./deviceinfo : options -p platform -c platform code (e.g. M68AP or N45AP) -s serial number -i imei -m model number

I’ve placed a much better version of the findme utility into the TUAW folder. Run it with -h to see all the options. You can now output a single google maps URL, request just the latitude/longitude, submit your value to Twitter.
I’ll be adding Yahoo ZoneTag support soon as well. If you have any special requests, speak now because I don’t have a ton of time to devote to this project.

I’ve been doing some housekeeping this morning. Erica Utilities is now updated to 1.1.4 with version 0.65. New items include updated versions of snap and autosnap (they won’t mess with iPod playback any more), sbar (statusbar tweaker), apmode (airplane mode), badge (add badges to applications), doSync (force an iTunes sync), teleclip (add telephone web clip), urlclip (ditto but for urls) and an updated xwidg.
Download from the Erica Utilities folder.

I’ve put an updated version of findme (findme-better) into the TUAW folder. Please let me know if this works better for location for you. To use, just copy to your iPhone (you may have to use Firefox if you get errors after downloading with Safari), rename to “findme” and replace the original findme from the LoJack project.

Version 0.31 is in the XLaunch folder. Try tilting it on its side! Now supports Webclips as well as app icons.Oh, and p.s. Yes, it does work on the touch. And p.p.s. This probably means that AppFlow is deprecated. What do you all think? Let me know.

As part of my iPhone Programming book project, I ended up doing some cover flow work last night and AppFlow is the result. It’s a simple cover-flow based application launcher. You can check it out here. To use, just flip to your favorite application (it’s alphabetical) and double-tap the icon to launch.

This is a command-line utility that finds your location via google maps (limited to lat & longitude) and autosubmits it to yahoo, and gets back the name of your city and state in return. Yahoo’s database grows. You get more informative help. It’s here
