The dream, AutoHotkey-powered foot pedal for programmers and ergonomanics

As a hobby programmer and someone who in general use the computer a lots, I'm acutely aware of my hands/arms's general well-being ever since I felt the symptoms of numbness a few years back. Often times not using the computer or typing less is not an option, and a foot pedal is a godsend so that my feet can relieve my hands' duties from time to time.


Some foot pedals out there designed (as they claim) explicitly for ergonomically-minded people are just outrageously expensive, not to mention that their drivers / software do not seem to be very flexible. So, instead of those pedals, I picked up an Infinity transcription foot pedal (INFINITY-IN-USB-1) for less than 40 bucks on eBay, and hacked my own driver for it. The Infinity pedal is designed for transcription (i.e. has Play/Rew/Fwd buttons), but it has 3 sturdy buttons and is actually a great pedal to be re-purposed.

Quick note on Google Voice / Sprint integration

Yes, Google Voice / Sprint integration is now live, but if you would like to continue to use Google Voice Callback, think twice before integrating your Google Voice number and your Sprint number. Integration will merge your two numbers, and thus you will have nothing to callback to - and Google Voice Callback will no longer work.*

* Calling back to your other numbers (home, work, VOIP, etc.) will be unaffected, of course.

Making free internet-based call using your Android phone

It's not a secret that you can make free calls using your Android phone and Google Voice, even without a SIM card in your phone. This is NOT a step-by-step guide, but instead a general description of how it works. Warning: setting this up is not a trivial process. You will need to fill in all the details for yourself. Google (Yahoo/Bing/your search engine of choice) will be your best friend.

DISCLAIMER: The information provided below comes with no guarentee of any sorts. Absolutely nothing. I do not encourage, endorse, or recommend the actions suggested below. Do them at your own risk, and don't blame me even if your phone stops working, your house burned, you lose your boyfriend/girlfriend, your candidate of choise loses the election, or the doomsday comes.

What you need

Let's first go over what you need:

• Google Voice Callback app
  
• A Google Voice account
  
• Internet connection for setup as well as every time you make a call
  
• A VOIP account that works with the SIP protocol
  
• A real phone number (DID) that can transfer call to your SIP account
  
• A SIP app for Android
  

Google Voice Callback v0.10.1 is out!

A quick update. What's new in v0.10.1?

• Now you can choose from multiple callback numbers when making a call (just select multiple callback numbers in the settings). Let me know if this works well!
  
• minor fixes for those who donated via Paypal (thanks!)
  

Enjoy!

Calendar Quick Add v0.5 is out!

This update for Gingerbread is long in coming, sorry! The main change is the fix for Gingerbread crash, but there are lots of small improvements here and there:

• Recognizes phrases such as "in 72 hours" or "in a week"
  
• Recognizes keywords "noon", "midnight", and "now".
  
• Fully spellt out months such as "September 25" is now recognized in text quick add (previously it was only recognized in voice quick add)
  
• Recognizes year as in e.g. 3/18/2012
  
• If hour is greater than 12, assume it's in 24-hour format regardless of setting.
  
• Show day of week on confirmation screen.
  
• Hopefully fixes ending date before starting date bug and the 12 hour into the next day bug
  
• Detects 12/24-hour format and day-month/month-day format from system settings in first run setup
  

Enjoy!
