Are you still alive? Part Three

By on December 10, 2008 in Technical

You probably remember my previous posts about Dead Man’s Switch and the e-mails I’ve received from the service.  Here’s a follow-up to the last e-mail.

Subject: Dead Man’s Switch is REALLY worried about you

Hi, Are you okay? You haven’t answered our last two emails. If you don’t answer this, your emails will be sent out in one week.

To update your status, visit the following address:

Hope to see you there,
Dead Man’s Switch staff

There’s only one more week before my test e-mail gets sent out.  I’ll be sure to post when it gets to me.  Stay tuned.

      Ummm…. so what happened? Would be pretty ironic if you had ACTUALLY died at this point in the experiment. And with no more posts after a promise, well… your readers may be “REALLY worried about you” :-)

      It turns out that I never received the message. I should go back and give the service another try.

      I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit
      the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
      I’m very happy I stumbled across this during my search for something regarding this.
