Wow, going through that was a bit emotional. You've got to set up an email that gets sent to your contacts when you've been inactive for >3months. That'll only happen if I'm dead or imprisoned so, yuck. Did not enjoy typing that one up.

Wow, what a frighteningly effective deadman switch. Normally I'd be worried about forgetting to reset it but in this case it's hard /not/ to use a Google product in a normal day.

That's a fantastic hidden feature - thanks for pointing it out.

Is it safe to put my 1Password's master-password into the message that is sent in case I'm dead?

My security-mindset-sense is tingling..

Could be an attack vector when you know someone's google usage will be sparse.

I don't know, getting that as a final joke from the right friend or younger family member might be my favorite way to be informed, and then I'd go walk their dog. I'd still be sad, of course, but there's really no good way to be informed of this. In all likely hood, I'd already be informed, and then I'd get this half-assed reminder and be all "oh my god, it's so like them!"

Actually when considering likelihood, they're probably on vacation and forgot to pause the program. A better message might be along the lines of: "Hi this is Sean's personal assistant script: I can't confirm that his puppy has been getting walked would you check into that for me? Spare key is..."

well but it's funny enough not to cause much harm on a false alarm, while still triggering research in to the doggie/death situation :)

Oh, it's all customizable. You write whatever you want, like "I haven't checked in in a day -- please make sure I'm alright."

right? How horrible...

I'm over thirty. This isn't Indian specific...

You could write a cron job that uses Twilio. I like to optimise for success.

"- Text me when you arrive"

5 minutes later..

"- I arrived. No assassins encountered."

> "were I in the market"

> the market of dying

is there something about your mortality that you'd like to tell us?

Thanks! Much appreciated :)

S3 has built-in functionality to trigger a Lambda function when certain events occur (e.g., object creation). For example, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-s3-example.....

Thanks so much :)

As @jdale27 said, there's built-in functionality with AWS that lets you subscribe to various events, e.g. S3 uploads, CloudWatch logs, etc.

In which case your murderer answers the call.

Interesting idea -- thanks for the suggestion

Looks like Semantic UI.

Indeed, as @axlee said, Semantic UI. Highly recommended.

I have not!

Haha -- thanks, Dave -- glad you like it :)

Thanks! I'll try to get something together next week.

There's a scheduled Lambda that sends messages via Twilio.

Wellll, you could set it to check every 1-30 days, so maybe set it to check less frequently?

Wouldn't solve the changing-your-number thing, but I'm guessing you don't do that too often.
