| DBlume | says | The TWiT crew loved it. Do any of you have Dead man's switches for your online personas / accounts? |
| DBlume | says | You know I've got the code, just haven't worked out behavior and failsafes yet. Dead man's switch for the daemon's server, too, you know. |
| thatkidwho | says | I was just looking into that book too, well actually I've been looking at for a while now. It always catches my eye when I'm in the book |
| thatkidwho | store |
| thatkidwho | and i really do like the idea of a Dead man's switch but trigger it might be difficult cause you know... your dead. Unless I always wore |
| thatkidwho | some kind of pulse or heart monitor which I think Garmin could provide but now we need a way transmit the signal to the interwebz. |
| thatkidwho | ... |
| DBlume | says | Doesn't have to be so quick to respond. Have it watch your lifestream, credit card history, and monitor local death notices. |
| DBlume | says | First thing it'll do is broadcast to all your social networks something like, thatkidwho hasn't been around. Is he OK? |
| DBlume | says | Heh, you can already tell how I'm designing mine. I'm writing mine to let my online friends know that I may need help or worse. |
| sjonsvenson | says | I had one and turned it off. When I had my accident it almost triggered a "Sjon died" message. |
| DBlume | says | Yeah, this takes some thought. Can you tell me more about the changes you'd make if you turned yours back on? |
| sjonsvenson | says | It was a kind of timer-job on my old OS/2 system. I didn't turn it on again. It was part of the old IBM antivirus suite designed to dial in |
| sjonsvenson | says | to IBM for updates but you could attach messages to the dial-out event. |
