Put your Mac to sleep via an MMS
Published November 23rd, 2005 in Apple, Internet, Technology, Wireless
So you now you can put your Mac to sleep wherever you are, using your MMS capable phone. MSS is rather like a text message, except you can set it to send to an email. Which is how this funky Automator workflow works. The above version is the most basic form, without the reception of the email. The email part is taken care with Apple’s Mail and a rule inside that.
You need to send an MMS message to your own email address and make a note of the email address it comes from - the ones I send from my phone are in the form 447890126456@mms.vodafone.co.uk with the “7890123456″ being replaced with my actual mobile phone number.
The success of this process relies on you having your Mac set to automatically check for emails periodically - if yours is set like this then, erm, good.
When I have time over the weekend I’ll be sure to try this out, though I still have to figure what use I would get from it.
