How I turn on the music after a long day

The geo fence allows me to go down with the trash and to the mailbox, even to the nearby convenience store without the music being interrupted. 100m is the first setting I'm trying as a signal that I'm leaving my apartment for a longer period of time. Might have to adjust that later. It's a payoff between playing for no one and timing it so I get to hear as much of the playlist as possible.

Hi Morten Where is this program running ? And what is it written in ?

iPhone runs the Google Latitude background app. A PHP script on my Site5 account with cron* checks my location every 5 mins and reacts if I'm in a defined zone. If in music zone, the PHP script calls a script on my Mac Mini's webserver which then executes an Applescript that fires up the Sonos Controller and pushes the Play button via access for assistive devices. * I'm successfully subscribed to the pubsubhuhbbub hub, but no pings go through for some reason, so I'm stuck with polling for now

Sounds really cool, great way of using geo :-) With google latitude do you use their auth api or just public data ?

I'm using the atom feed that the Public Location Badge uses, didn't find the patience to shuffle tokens back and forth
