Sometimes you need to be able to send SMS from a computer. This is obvious when you’re talking of monitoring your servers. Email alerts are good, but what if you’re sleeping ?
I used to set up a SMS modem, with it’s own SIM card and subscription. This is really easy, using smsd daemon, to send SMS. Just put a formated file in a directory and bam!, you SMS is fired.
But what when you can’t set a SMS Modem in a datacenter ?

Then you have to use an online SMS provider.

  • Good

    • you just have to call an API to send a SMS

  • BAD

    • it’s not free (you pay per SMS when the modem can have an unlimited SMS sending subscription
    it is network dependant ; if you have a network failure, you will never be informed

    If you installed over your old Tiger or if you are new user, you may have experienced errors when trying to build py-mysql.Py-mysql is a Python module to connect to Mysql.I’m using it to have Django, the Python Web Framework, to connect to Mysql database. This is what I got when trying to install :   

    # port install py-mysql
--->  Building py-mysql with target build
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py-mysql/work/MySQL-python-1.2.2" && /opt/local/bin/python2.4 setup.py build " returned error 1

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

    I tried to upgrade MacPorts… but I already had the latest.

    # port selfupdate

MacPorts base version 1.600 installed

Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.600

The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated
selfupdate done!

    I finaly found the solution on http://rob.cogit8.org/blog/2007/Nov/14/installing-django-leopard-mac-os-105/
