I have notificed VT, so you may well see v0.3.1b above. The current version has NO bugs in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. From my testing it works PERFECTLY now. So grab it! I love the thing.

Background: iAlertU was made Open Source a couple years ago. The original developer, SlappingTurtle, only provides their very last version from years back, 0.29b.

Here is the new Open Source site where you can read about iAlertU:

Here is the link to the current version:

ialertu spontaneusly starts the alarm when already inclined, even if nobody touch it.... I think that this is a big issue to solve since I'm often working with the macbook inclined...

what the?
Hi David Reitter, I certainly hope you at least asked the developer if you too could post on his posting as you too have done on Lockdown. If so great, though why not post to the developer and have this an a new beta rather than taking away from this. I am probably just being a tad over ethical
