You have to make sure your periodic tasks acts in such a way that if a piece fails, the rest doesn't execute (using && for instance). Then you would add hitting your special url th…

Thanks! I'll think on some of this stuff and probably incorporate some of it.

I'm not sure how it's misleading. You can sign up and have one snitch for free. It would be misleading if I said sign up for free and then didn't allow you to create ANY snitches w…

Haha, sorry. Maybe you shouldn't squat on domains? :P

What I'm saying is, in the rare chance we are down and your service can't check in, that one time we would send a false positive. We wouldn't be flapping between off and on sending…

I'm not sure I understand, however, it works by your process reaching out to US to check in. I'd suppose you would maybe have to open up outbound traffic to our domain? I'd love to…

Thank's for pointing out that price != cost. The value of the service is in not having to ever panic again when checking the backups during an emergency. It is very easy to be noti…

RE: SLA... the use case is more "I want to know sooner than later that something didn't happen" than "Something didn't happen this minute, I want to know NOW!". If and when we go d…

What are you currently using to make sure your periodic tasks run? As far as making sure DMS runs, we use another third-party to make sure our checkers run. Contact support if you …

It could have been done for cheaper, especially legal. However, I don't think the design would have been as good for cheaper. Keep in mind those were "retail", I had some "friend d…

1) You weigh in by taking a picture of your feet on the scale. Sure, you can photoshop it or lean on a table (it's actually kind of hard to do that), but in the end, if you cheat, …

Yup! That's right! That's why we don't tell our users HOW to lose weight, but help them set reasonable weekly goals and "punish" them if they don't stick to them. I know how to los…

I would say plan for some traffic you can afford, but know of someone that can help you out if you really get into trouble. It's along the lines of "worry about that problem when y…
