today, i had found some great software. it’s called  Rametook, this software was built by  Fadhil Mandaga in 2007, he is a great programmer from indonesia.

i have a girlfriend, febby. now she is studying Tax, she also running business to sell pulsa. i want to help her, so i create an server pulsa for her business. because basicly i love  Ruby so i decide to search existing open source software based on Ruby that have algorithm like server pulsa.

taraaaa, google is doing a good job. he took me on Rametook, software that can send/receive sms via CDMA/GSM modem written in Ruby.

now, i spend my time to learn Rametook source code. i want to understand how things like “Ruby” can comunicate with my cell phone via “Serial Port”. it’s chalengge to me.

I’m learn algorithm how to read data from my GSM modem via my linux system using Ruby by decoding Rametook source code. so i can built brand new software based on what i’m needed.

when get Rametook work on my system, i had a few problem. like i haven’t serialport gems installed, iconv gems, and installing other gems such as mysql gems. you now, Rametook doesn’t have a Gemfile so this is the first problem that arise to me. what i do is run rametook, see the error logs, install gems that not found until rametook running smoothly. now, i have a serious problem. Rametook can’t detect my modem. so i send email to mas Fadhil , ask him how Rametook can detect my modem, luckily he replied my email. i hope Rametook still functional.
