Check

After a raft of late night bill paying, which for various and sundry trains is still a thing I do manually, I:
Ordered a SIM card from Ting. Done.
Downloaded the Eclipse IDE Linux RePhone project thing. It seems to be a more actively maintained and documented project, which should help me get going. Of course, this means I need to get used to using Eclipse.
Funny enough, the only IDE I really ever use is Arduino. Someday I should get used to how to manually program microcontrollers. You know, close my supply chain and all.
