Alarms: Schedule Wake Up Calls and Reminders at WakerupperLifehacker

Schedule free wake up calls and reminders online with web site Wakerupper. Just enter the time and date you want your call, your timezone, phone number, email address, and an optional bit of reminder text that will be played text-to-speech style when you get the call. The site requires no registration, though registration is possible if you want to use the service for more than the occasional one-off wake up call. Most of us have learned to use our cell phones as anywhere alarms, but if you’re paranoid about waking up when you’re traveling or before an important meeting, Wakerupper is a useful tool for creating anywhere, anytime wake up calls (a little redundancy is always calming).

You know that someone is going to cry fraud any time there’s a how-to on extending wi-fi range. And this one is no exception (read the Comments). I don’t know why people doing these projects don’t show before and after readings on a signal strength meter to prove their claims. I’m not a radio engineer or a ham, so I can’t really judge without trying this out for myself on a spare antenna. I’d be interested to know what MAKE readers think who have experience in this area.
