These are complementary. While I could use a range of GPS coordinates
to recognize "I'm at home right now", I couldn't use it for "I'm in my
car right now" or "my BT-enabled laptop is nearby".
Thanks Joe for clarifying.
Right - GPS is good for a lot, but I currently route calls through
Skype, so it's dependent on my computer being with in 'range' of BT,
and therefore probably hearing it ring.

"something like" was key to the suggestion.
Yup - I pointed to it b/c it's Open-Source. I actually use Salling
Clicker which is Win/Mac, but closed source. :)
