[Request] - Location aware application
 
Is it possible for someone to have a look into creating an application that can perform certain actions based on the location.

This will be very similar to the Alarmed application only the actions will be triggered by the change in locations and not at specified times.

This becomes especially useful if we can turn off Wifi when we leave home or office and turn it back on once we arrive at the locations.

This can be done using the GPS or by the Cell Id of the current GSM cell tower.

I have used such an application on Andriod called Llama https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama

Thanks.

isn't that hard to implement, personally I started an todo app but there wasn't much interest (community) so I decided to stop developing, if you are interested I can send you the source

That's awesome!! Thanks for pointing me in that direction, but we certainly need it to do more than sound an alarm :)

Thanks for the offer, but I'm afraid I have no clue on how to code in Python or Qt.. someone port Mono!:p
