(Friend who tweeted this here) In this case, I actually did create it that quick while lying in bed, and used nothing more than IFTTT and a Google Spreadsheet. I probably should have mentioned "without coding" in the original twee

So I'm the friend who tweeted that. And actually it was even simpler than that. No coding involved - I did this with nothing more than a handful of IFTTT recipes. Hook it up to Google, listen for "Home" commands, and send th

Right, you've described my current plan - to eliminate it entirely for a while to see what happens, then slowly reintroduce things to see if I get any reactions. Besides the IgG test some of my own observations were acute reactions in

I did an IgG food allergy test recently that I was extremely skeptical about in advance, but the results were consistent with my own observations over the past few years - namely that I was having severe reactions to some dairy. The tests s

That's really interesting - I havent heard of those kinds of problems outside of autonomic issues. You actually got diagnosed with something else related to cardio that causes that? And yeah if it's low blood pressure-related that

There's no cure or anything, just a handful of treatments for the symptoms and to keep things under control. For the heart rate issues I take Xanax periodically as needed - it keeps anxiety from building up and setting off my heart rat

Yep. I've been diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension too. I have bouts of low blood pressure, so it can drop when I stand too quickly or for too long, or when I exercise. My resting pressure doesn't read as low but I still feel t

I have an autonomic nervous system disorder (postural tachycardia) that causes my heart rate to skyrocket at any kind of physical or emotional stress. Basically it's like my fight-or-flight response is broken and over-reacts to everyth

I think it's people usually don't get that these are often just random and not always tied to an event, but vice-versa. Certain situations and interactions can lead up to or trigger attacks, but when it's a real disorder with

I've been wondering how good the continuous readings were on it. I'm actively considering the best device to track my really complex heart rate issues (I have postural tachycardia). But I don't use an iPhone, so Watch might b

This is a very valid concern because I used to own a Zeo headband that did a lot of the same stuff, and when the company went belly-up the cloud service disappeared, leaving all their customers with a useless bedtime fashion accessory. Real

Seems like the experience is pretty similar with a lot of these disorders. I have an autonomic nervous system problem that overlaps significantly with "chronic fatigue," and I've seen a lot of patients go through similar &quo

I'm not trying to do that "diagnose you over the Internet" thing, but did any of your doctors ever mention or look into autonomic nervous system issues? Reason I ask is that what you describe is somewhat similar to the kind o

Can you actually elaborate on number 4 in your list? are you talking about building something for a client but having an agreement that you'll own the software and are licensing it to them, so that you can sell it yourself elsewhere?

Right at the bottom he mentions that only 15 slots are available, first come-first serve. So he blocks out each day for a single client.

Unfortunately on yesterday's episode Gina and Kevin announced that next week will be their last In Beta, and someone else is taking over the show. Curious who it'll be, but definitely won't be the same.

If someone doesn't release a version of Jedi Outcast with g_saberRealisticCombat enabled by default, this whole thing will be a complete letdown.
