Geeking - set multiple alarm clock entries on Android
- Built an Android app to set alarms in the default alarm app based on a list of entries that look like “13:30 Meeting about something”. The alarms are set 2 minutes before the meeting.
- Also built a little Java app to take Outlook export and print the list of meetings in the above format
- Android and Android Watch handle these alarms very well and makes it easier not to miss the meetings
To become a tester for this Android app register on the web or in the Google Play Store

Life pro tip
Send many photos instead of one postcard. There are multiple services that allow you to upload a bunch of photos, pay for printing them. Just make sure that you entering a delivery address of the person to whom you are sending those photos to (hey granddad-in-law!) :)
If you want to include a message - you can always design a picture to be printed alongside with your photos in something like Adobe Express .
For this type of photo printing I use Diamond Photo in NZ and a similar service Fotospauda.lt in Lithuania.
