What is this curl script that calls out to Find My iPhone... I'm surprised that the web api is trivial enough to script but would love to use it.
there are loads of github repos for this, i just grabbed one and was on my way.

Why not just create a Facebook group? What features are you missing?
Are you crazy?
I'm not sure what's "crazy" about it. My family uses a private Facebook group and it works very well. We send events and keep each other updated on our lives. It's nice because there isn't a separate login to create or app to install.

#63Does anyone have a favorite "Shared Family Calendar"? We need something to keep track of everyone's school schedule, reports/projects due, sports games/practices, etc. etc.
I've tried Google and Trello ... wondering if there's something better.

GMail also has built-in search. Google docs has documents. Both are free.

Out of interest, why didn't shared Google calendars work for you? It works quite well for us.
Re: How we use Slack in our family
#67Nice use of slack. Side question : anybody here using some sort of hosted family social network ? I'm thinking about doing that. We have a huge family (around 200 alive members who are connected in real life) and thought about installing something, with a facebook/g+ login with oauth.

We do this. Works surprisingly well... We've had two weddings planned, and several family reunions w/ 70+ people.
Best of all, I don't have to maintain a thing...

Slack is easily free for a family of 2.
Gmail's search is very good (but only useful if everyone avoids the habit of using Email like an IM client [ie unhelpful body and subject texts]).
Google doc's is okay.
Without thinking about it, slack organizes your messages into topics (aka channels), and it's easy to drag-n-drop files into channels, which are then archived, and easily found.

#70Someone at work was recently giving me the slack pitch, and mentioned the cool bot that be configured to announce people, answer questions etc...
It made me very nostalgic for my old IRC friends, both people and eggdrop bots alike.
