for keeping track of my digital experiments

I am currently working on a ticketing system, built off of osTicket. I needed a way to notify support staff or system administrators quickly. Why not via text message? Incoming tickets or invoices are taken care of through osTicket, and all I have to do it add in a couple of mail hooks to text message. What I found interesting, is the relative ease with which text messages can be sent to cell phones. As long as you now the person’s carrier (T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon), and the number it is just like sending a regular email. Here is an example Text Message PHP script.
