Mines a real "pet" project. I installed a bluetooth signal/sensor in my dogs harness, put an infrared sensor strip on backdoor and hacked together something like twillo for notifications. When I let him outside, I know when he is back at the door because his motion gets picked up by the sensor and a text message gets fired off to say "Woof. Let me in. Love Simon." This didn't take me long to build and it gets the job…
Also playing around with Flask and other APIs as well as building a blog in Django.

I'm using Twilio, PythonAnywhere, and Google Directions API to send myself texts when my commute length is longer than a specified tolerance, then sending texts with commute lengths for alternate routes if they are shorter. Currently gathering commute length data to make my commute length tolerances dependent on an average commute length for that workday plus a specified percentage above that. Also playing around wit…

Great idea. This would have helped me with my morning commute today when SF Muni had a bit of a meltdown. Have you put the source up on github? Also, if you're already playing around with APIs and frameworks like Flask and get the itch to create a REST API, check out flask-restful https://github.com/twilio/flask-restful .

I do plan to put it on GitHub although it needs some refining. I'm a financial analyst by training and trade so my programming skills are below par.

That sounds really interesting, and I've often wanted to do something similar myself. Do you have plans for a convenient curses-based interface, so I don't have to type stuff out or press enter all the time?
There is already a curses interface, as per the (outdated) screenshots page:

Really lumail is a console application, similar to mutt, but with a different feature-set. (i.e. No IMAP, no POP3, real scripting, modal-mode, and similar.)
