Hi, I understand it has been a while since I posted anything on my blog. I would like to thank everybody who still reads the blog and has subscribed via RSS. I believe my last post was sometime in September, so I figured I would update everybody on projects.
First off, I combined my work with an awesome workforce known as UpscaleRiver. We are a small business hoping to grow in the future, so look out for us.
So what does this mean? Well, UpscaleRiver will now be in charge of most of my previous iPhone applications including Cerebro and Passion. This is a great opportunity for the Cerebro project as we finally have finished beta testing and Cerebro will go public on February 1st!
While I will still post here from time to time, a lot of my posts will now be at UpscaleRiver’s blog
Thanks,
Chris Alvares
P.S. We will be releasing the source code to the Cerebro project on UpscaleRiver on February 1st, I will post the source on here as well so that everybody can get it.

Cool things will be happening to Cerebro in the next couple of days, and I would like to show you some of them today.
iPhone Mobile Site
It came to my attention that if you ever lose your iPhone, and are trying to track it down, you probably wont bring your laptop with you, so I have created an iPhone Mobile site found at http://chrisalvares.com/Cerebro/m. This is also available via the Cerebro iPhone application.
Battery Life Indicator
You can now check your battery life of your iPhone via the detailed view page.
The Cerebro Snow Leopard App
Soon, you will be able to track your Macbook or Macbook pro running Snow Leopard. The cool part about this is that the code used for the Snow Leopard App will be almost identical to the code on the iPhone app. They both will use CoreLocation, and a Unix daemon. We are code naming this Snowebro, and it is at an early stage, with a public beta coming soon.

CALocationService was the code name for my next project and the beta period is almost over, which means that I needed to choose a new name. Cerebro will still be CALocationService under the hood, but it will have new features and more ways to install onto your iPhone.

Apple’s Mobile Feature called Find my iPhone has been available since the 3.0 launch, the only problem is that 99 dollars a year is a hefty price to pay for a service that you hopefully never have to use. Today I am releasing CALocationService, an application that records your GPS coordinates, live track your iPhone, and much more. Due to Apple’s App Store restrictions, this app will only available via cydia.
To get started, open Cydia, navigate to “Manage->Sources” and add this source to your repository
http://chrisalvares.com/apt
Then click on the chrisalvares.com repository and install Cerebro.
You might have to respring after you install CALocationService to see the icon.
Open the app and follow the instructions.
[update] Changed name from CALocationService to Cerebro.
