I've been messing with things that will pull out something like a "live feed" of forum posts so I can just glance at it at home or work instead of manually hitting "what's new" all the time.
Lol, yeah. No magic phone for me. I just wrote a quick thing to check the front page and report new threads to me in text form. Works great. Serves as a scrolling RSS for me when I'm bored at work.
