Where’s my phone?

A new addition to my website: the sidebar will now show the current location of my mobile phone.

How?

Well, I recently discovered the wonders of programming for Windows Mobile devices with Visual Studio. During my lunch today I wrote an application that uses the built-in phone to find the nearest mobile / cell tower. Sending a text message to my website detailing my  current CellID and the Location Area Code, I can send do a quick lookup to display a friendly text string of where I am.

Et voila, on the right is my phone’s current location.
