It's mothers day.

This being a community of hackers, it'd be much appreciated if one of you could write a program that dialed up my mother every year leaving her a voicemail. This way, I can sleep in the entire day, and fulfill my duties as a son.

I know this has been downmodded, but if you wanted a trick to go straight to voicemail for this "app": http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9915518-2.html

And it just has a pre-roll ad or something.

i don't really understand this: why do you have to wait for a specific day for this ? aren't you grateful _everyday_ ?

thorax2• 18 years ago

Yeah, but most of them expect a show of that gratefulness _today_.

My mother lives a block away. Just a phone call would have been kind of rude ;-)

Mothers are frequently overrated

For a moment I was surprised that no one made the obligatory "I called your mom last night" joke, but then I remembered that news.yc is a more refined crowd

and you just couldn't resist saying it...
