[NSRCA-discussion] Flew the computer this weekend: Result -- a virtual caller app

[Peter Vogel]

Folks who haven't signed up for the beta test yet, here's a quick update --
I did a major release last night with support for adding your own
schedules.  I have a couple other goodies in mind for the not-too-distant
future and last night when I was in the mall for a haircut, I bought myself
a little present to motivate me to do an Android version -- a 7" Galaxy
Tablet.

If you have an iOS device and want to try the app, please do sign up.

Thanks!
Peter+
