Got it. Good to know.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I thought you know the rules.
'Locate my phone' is played as follows:
There is a 10 x 10 field grid, with the coordinates encoded as follows:
Horizontally the letters A-J, vertically the numbers 1-10.
In this grid you hide the following items:
- No Windows Phone
- One IPod, 2 fields in a row or diagonally
- One Android Phone, 3 fields in a row, not diagonally
- One IPhone, 3 fields diagonally, not in a row
- One IPad, 3x2 fields
- One selfie stick, five fields in a row or diagonally.
We then take turns searching in each others grid. If a player finds an occupied field, he immediately gets another try. The first player to find all of the opponent's items wins.
Ok, I look in C8.

Does the grid have rounded corners?
Because if it does, you are iNfringing iApple iPatents and may be iSued by iLawyers.

I use Where's My Droid and it saved me once when I left my phone on the train. I tracked it live from my house via GPS as it made it's way to Ramsgate - I remotely triggered the camera and got several shots of a guy who had picked it up and was either trying to unlock it or just being curious. At Ramsgate station he walked to his house which I then got shots of on StreetView.
Then I phoned him and let him know that
a) I knew he had my phone
b) I knew what he looked like and what he was wearing
c) I knew wthat he lived directly opposite an off licence in XXX street.
...and politely asked if he'd mind dropping my phone off at the local police station the next morning.
He obliged 
Of course he might have been planning to hand it in anyway.

I use Cerberus for my Galaxy S4 and it seems to work fairly well including extra stuff like taking a picture of my mug and emailing it to me whenever I get my login on the device wrong.

You don't need those apps anymore 
Sign into your Google account (same as your phone) from any other machine, open a browser, and search on Google for
find my phone .

That's really rather cool. I don't ever have location stuff turned on (I'm too paranoid) but I'm forever losing it at home when it's on silent so the ring-out feature is mega-useful.

In the mid-80s, I worked with someone that used mechanical pencils. Since this was long before the 'Find My xxx' apps, he attached a string of rubber bands to his pencil with other end tied to his lab code pocket.
Maybe you could so the same? 8)

All of those devices require others with the same device to have walked within a certain distance of yours. I can't recall the name but it is group- or community- something or other. Not much of a help when your phone is rarely in a crowded area.

Real men just work straight off the deployment server. A single copy that's on production.

Used to do that some 12-15 years ago when I programmed classic ASP. Made changes and developed new features directly in prod. Never had any problems. That version control shite is highly overrated!

Sort of did that once for a client. Added a few new features on my laptop that the customer requested the night before at 3AM and they asked to put it on their production server. My PM asked if I would stake my job on it working correctly. I did. One very minor bug that I was aware of, but could not fix at 3AM the day I changed it since I had to leave to the airport at 5AM.
