How it Works

      Basically, this website stores peoples messages for a period of time and then sends them as an email, text, or Tweet.  People can choose to have their message sent by one or up to all three methods of communication.  This service is completely free and will always be free.  We do request that you friend us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

Why should I send a message to myself?

There are many good answers to this question and they range from providing simple reminder texts to making a time capsule.  Some people have a hard time remembering important dates, so they send reminders a couple of days before the event.  But remember, you don't have to send messages to just yourself.  Send a friend a happy birthday message now, so you don't forget it later!

Technical Explanation:

     When someone enters their information into the form on the frontpage, the information is stored into a database.  A program called cron automatically runs twice an hour, which looks in the database to see if any messages need to be sent out.  If a message needs to be sent out it looks up which method(s) of delivery it needs to use and it sends it out.  Once sent, the message is marked as sent in the database and will not be sent out again.  All of this took a little over 439 lines of PHP code using the Drupal API.
