My newest app, created with ChatGPT, is for Emailing Caller ID info and hanging up on spam. It works great with the 2 USBS modems I have.

Back in 2007, I started using a program called Ezvoice. I was still using it until a few days ago. It records caller ID info, emails it to a Google account, and hangs up on spam, which you've added to a list. It does what this app does, but one thing about Ezvoice has always annoyed me. It can't block by name, just by numbers. Sometimes, I would get calls from the same caller ID name but completely random numbers.

So I created this CallerID display app, which scratched all my itches.

CallerID Display Features

  • Records the caller ID information of a call
  • Emails the Caller ID information.
  • Has a spam list that lets you add caller ID info to spam
  • Has an Address book, which lets you import CSV files. It also has column mapping.
  • Automatically hangs up on people in your spam list if they match, Name, Number (or a range of numbers) or both.
  • Pushbullet support. Caller ID notifications to computers running pushbullet.
  • No install required
  • Everything is contained in the folder you run it from

A push bullet notification.

This is a photo of it running on my Windows 7 voicemail server that has been up for 1,500+ days. It also works on Windows 11, too

Also included with the app is another app I call "CallerID Companion."

It looks like the other app, but you can run this app on any Windows 7 or higher computer on your network or any computer connected to your network via a VPN. In the options menu, you point to the shared network folder the main app is located in.

CallerID Companion Features

  • See the call list
  • Clear the call list
  • Add calls to the spam list
  • Add address book entries
  • Fullscreen mode, which lets you see LARGE caller ID information full screen on a monitor

 Fullscreen mode: Made up number for the demo

CallerID Companion 1.3 July 29th, 2024

  • Fix: Now when you modify the address book or the spam folder the watchdog does not update all the JSON files, just the file you updated. If you had the call companion full screen on 1 computer and modified the address book or spam folder on call companion on another computer it would send a watchdog on calls.json which would cause the last phone number to show up full screen on the other computer. A restart off the app would have been required to get it working again.

CallerID Companion 1.1 July 19th, 2024

  • New: I added Settings to the options menu to let you set the color, text size, number display format, and spam display format for the full-screen mode. As seen in the screenshot above.
  • New: When opening the app, it first prompts you to locate your primary callerID Email and block folder. It also prompts you if the one specified cannot be found.

CallerID Email and Block Version 1.5.1 July 19th, 2024

  • Updated: It now stores the setting in a file called calleridsettings.json instead of settings.json
  • Fixed: It no longer errors out if no com port settings are not found in the json file.

CallerID Email and Block Version 1.5 July 17th, 2024

  • New: Added Watchdog support for modified files to support "CallerID Companion."
  • New: Bundled a new App CallerID companion

Version 1.1 July 10th, 2024

  • New: Added Pushbullet Support

Version 1.0 July 9th, 2024 First release

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
