Well, once again I'm turning to the VBForums for help!

I've recently started work on a Communications Centre Application, and I'm looking for people to give feedback on what they feel it should include. I'll also be looking for Beta Testers at a later date, so now's your chance to sign up!

What it can do so far, or will do soon:
- Send SMS Messages to any UK Mobile Phone
- Send a FAX
- Send / Receive Email
- Manage an address book, which will be linked into the other services
- Allow the user to chat over a LAN
If you can think of any other features you'd like to see included, then post them here! Also, can anyone tell me if any file extensions beginning with "ph" (apart from .php) are in use by any major applications?

Thanks!!!

This may go along with the address book, but some kind of appointment scheduling would be nice

Ian,

You just can't leave any thread alone can you? ;)

Cyber,

Don't listen to him, he's clearly insane. On the subject of your app - an automatic hedgehog renovator would be quite nice....

Aha! Cool ideas! Any idea where I can find details on the Hedgehog interface via the Serial Port?

The Hedgehog wouldn't fit in a serial port not enough holes for all the pins!! :D

Oops! Where can I find a serial - hedgehog adaptor? :D

How about a multiphasic tachion converter.... It makes Ice cubes! :D

Look in that it is made by Fox or Car... I think that it is also known as the "Road-Kill" adapter!

You'd probably be better of using an IR comms port to communicate with hedgehogs. Less risk of injury.

I'd have to be fairly flexible 'cos the little bleeders run around everwhere!!!

cyber - www.roadKill.co.uk/accessories normally stock them ;)

Spiffy! I'll implement that Tachion convertor too!

Anyone have any realistic suggestions? Also, any help on the file extension thing mentioned in the first post?

It really easy!!
Just gotta make the thingy that controls the appoinment thingy to show a pop up thingy!

Piece of cake!

:D
Apr 23rd, 2001, 04:59 AM

You should add a wotsit to help the thingy interact with the other thingy!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:00 AM
CyberSurfer

Ah, but you forgot the doodah which interacts with the thingummy to allow the other bit to do that thingy..
Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:03 AM
chrismitchell

But I thought that you said that the hoojemaflip is connected to the thingummy! So that the doodah can interact with the wotsit and subsequently make the thingy do what it is meant to do!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:07 AM
CyberSurfer

Nah! The flippityflop connects to the hoojemaflip which interacts with the wotsit which allows the thingummy to process the results of the thingy which is powered by the flimflam! :D

I has already made one of these and it rocks, it's gonna be so good

A flippityflop, or a messaging application? :p
Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:23 AM

I don't know about him, but I made an awesome flippityflop! :D
Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:30 AM

You're obviously forgetting the double-flange grommit toggle (part of a wonkle engine) - these are essential !

Ian,

We've ruined this thread haven't we? Takes me back to the good old days.....

I made a cool wonkle engine once, it had an integrated flimflam protocol analyser!!

It isn't? That's quite a surprise... :p
Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:48 AM
chrismitchell

You know that you shouldn't rely on a flimflam protocol analyser when working with a wonkle engine!! Its too unstable you want to use Hamster power... Loads of wheels with Hamsters in!

Yeah, I discovered that when the wonkle engine overturned and crashed the plopsicle wangdoodle!

Well that's just asking for trouble!!! using a wonkle engine with a plopsicle wangdoodle! You should have used Greecian 2000 on it... Its a bit slow and its completely black and white!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:56 AM
CyberSurfer

Ah, but I was also using a swingflobber, which interfaced with the plopsicle wangdoodle and isn't compatible with Grecian 2000!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 06:25 AM
chrismitchell

You are using a swingflobber with Grecian 2000... Well I didn't know that. :p Maybe you should use Rod-Hull 2.0 with Emu-file 4.2.. Or use BobbyDavro OS 6.4
Apr 23rd, 2001, 06:27 AM

I've decided to switch to PamelaLeeOS 9 anyway...It's a bit over inflated, but essentially sound...Very streamlined in places!!!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 06:32 AM
chrismitchell

But PamalaLeeOS 9 has a major problem from 2 viruses..

1. TommyLee virus.. ****s it all up and destroys everything!

and

2. The Baywatch Virus.. Your machine just runs in Slow motion and becomes thick as Pig ****!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 06:35 AM

Ah, but it has the Silicon^TM recovery utility! I've found that it counters the effect of most negative virii!!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 06:42 AM
chrismitchell

Yes but that can easily be removed by the Barbwire virus that removes the Silicon Recovery Utility!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 06:48 AM

But I have the RubberBra Firewall!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 06:52 AM
chrismitchell

Ahh but that can't stop the DavidHasslehoff-Mullet worm virus... For it eats through the RubberBra Firewall!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 06:57 AM
CyberSurfer

But I also have the Castratum Firewall, which is effective against the DaviodHasslehoff virus!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 07:03 AM
chrismitchell

But have you seen the Kit car virus expander that helps the DavidHasslehoff-Mullet Virus.. Its an oldie and a goodie... The same as the A-Team"Ipitythefool" virus that makes your comp have a fear of flying!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 07:05 AM

Damn! That's why I couldn't lift it off the floor!!
Apr 23rd, 2001, 07:08 AM

Yep.... It starts going crazy! though you could use the "Iloveitwhenaplancomestogether!" Virus killer that stops the A-Team"Ipitythefool" Virus.

Cool I'll have to get that! Does it work with the ReallyBugFilledAndProcessorIntensive Suite, though?
Apr 23rd, 2001, 07:28 AM

I don't know.. I have only tried it with the ReallyPigFilledAndProcessorIntensive Suite.

ChrisM & cybersurfer: The doodah interacts with the thingyummy to allow the other bit to do the thingy!
If you add the hoojemaflip then your making more work for yourself + it wont work. Why?

Because all the hoojemaflip does is connects to the thingummy so the doodah can interact with the wotsit.
The doodah can't connect to a wotsit...

They way chrism made it, the thingummy helps the doodah interact with the wotsit but it can't because as cybersufer stated the doodah interacts with the thingummy. Get it.

You don't need a wotsit or a hoojemaflip the doodah and thingummy will do what you need! If anything you could use a wotsit to connect to another thingy.

My god.... We are in the presence of a great assmaster! He knows all about hoojemaflip's and doodah's!!!:D
