If you decide to purchase a single application for you Android phone, let it be Tasker.

For those of you who are wondering what has happened to me, I've gone back to school. I've just started a two years masters program. And my masters topic is, *drum roll", handset localization in mobile networks. So I'm doing a master in the topic that has been my hobby for the last 10 year or so. Even though I at the moment feel like I will not have time to sleep for the next two years, hopefully I'll be able to be a bit more active here in the future.
