Watching this and reading this, makes me think of changing some important locks like our main door into electronic one. But still given enough time and resources electronic locks are also hackable.

You can always do this using Chikka, and now with the convenience of your Google Talk or Gmail Chat, you can now send SMS to Globe/Smart/Sun mobile phones in the Philippines.

To send to a mobile phone, simply add a new contact on your Google Talk client or Gmail Chat, using the format 639xxxxxxxxx@chikkatalk.com.

I just tried it and it works both in Google Talk client and in Gmail Chat.

Five days ago, I upgraded Athena (our main desktop PC here) from 5.10 (Breezy Badger) to 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake); it was pretty easy, and even all my additional installations and hacks like chikka, skype, various multimedia capabilities, and many more; all works like a charm.
