We used to put a marble and water in an empty camera film roll canister (transparant). Freeze in the freezer and flip over. If you come back and the Marble is frozen on the bottom of the canister: don't eat anything! #lowtech

If you are looking for a way to drive it all, this is working very nice for me: https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup

"Pingdom but reversed" crossed my mind as an option :)

Repost from last week, but I accidentally posted it in the new instead of the ask thread, sorry! I'm particularly looking for feedback about how to explain the product better (aka creating a better sales pitch). Somehow I find it very hard to explain a simple product :). Now also available outside of Europe.

I'd like that, but drawing a diagram for this is hard :)

Thank you for the feedback. The choice for stock-photos is one of budget. I'm currently bootstrapping myself and thought this was a good tradeoff.

This is currently because of insurance reasons. After I get some customers, I'll get that sorted out ASAP.

Re:50,000 dutch nurses use NFC phones daily on Wednesday August 31, 2011 @10:28AM (#2945658)
Currently the battery of the phone lasts for at least a week. With GPS this would be reduced to a day or less. Also location services are opt in. You would not be able to opt-out of time tracking through GPS, which makes a big difference. The article you linked actually to explains the dangers of location tracking in great detail. You should read it :)

Simple explanation: RFID => reading a chip, NFC => communicating with a chip.
Re:50,000 dutch nurses use NFC phones daily on Tuesday August 30, 2011 @03:45PM (#2942946)
Primarily because tracking people 24/7 through GPS in their phone is a privacy no-no. Next tot that: GPS is really unreliable in buildings and oldfolks tend to live in appartment blocks. Also hight (floor) is an issue as well as battery life.

Hi Rick, maybe you should come and visit Nedap. I would really like to show you how we do business here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUQ5Aac96aM Kind regards, Bart
