Prowl = Growl iPhone Push Notifications

Prowl does the message delivery, and it does it well.

I would say, though, that there are a lot of Preferences to go through:

the Prowl site will explain all the installation stuff. The first level of preferences is configuring the Prowl plug-in to be your default Growl notification route. It’s good that the Mac plug-in allows you to choose a pass-through notification method so that you will still see the events locally.
then there’s the iPhone client preferences, under Settings. They explain in the FAQ that you need to change your settings, then start up the client App to commit them to the server. Confusing, because your changes don’t take effect until that commit, so it’s just a matter of knowing. Also, the Settings only allow you to disable Sound while the App is running (which is a nice feature).
it took me a further read to figure out that I needed to disable the background push Sound & Vibrate feature through the general Notification Settings. You can tweak the App so that it’s seen and not heard.

Eventually I’ll be updating my AWS health checks to use the prowl Ruby gem. Very thoughtful!

Thanks to @laughingsquid for the tip on Prowl. I’m looking forward to a further geometrical increase in information overload!

On a similar note, I’m a big fan of TwitterFox because it’s equally simple & straightforward.

I chose Scalaris as my Mac Twitter client of choice for the same reason – I don’t needs me one of them feature-rich hefty ones.

FIXME: build this dynamically based upon the maximum content in any sub-Element of this Element. I will call this my "Safari Reader Counterweight". In some of my Posts, I have huge code excerpts, etc. Safari Reader, at least in iOS, will identify the 'main Element', the one it features, based upon its content length. Sometimes those code excerpts get identified as the 'main Element', and the Post is borked in Safari Reader mode. This is a counter-weight; it gives the <main> Element additional content so that it gets featured, algorithmically. Yes, it increases the payload of every page (@see FIXME above). But not by that much. Then again, this is a guess as to how much content any given Element could contain. If it's not enough, BOOM, Safari Reader looks like crap. So, here's a great article on how to enable Safari Reader on your site. It's mostly guesswork, but those guesses helped me debug this obtuse goddamn problem. Oh, and look, you can enter and exit Reader programmatically. JavaScript can fix anything. I promise I will never cut-and-paste lines of text simply to add Element payload.
