I've tried to bookmark places that help your survivors deal with your online life afterwards but I always end up forgetting their name. Or they go out of business. Here's a 2009 Mashable article on various tools for various aspects of that: [link]
I was just thinking yesterday that I should give my mom my 1Password master password in a sealed envelope or something.
Heavens, I've been head down, so I've missed a lot, but wanted to poke my head in and send lots and lots of ~ma to Andi-- oodles even.
Also ~ma for erika's mom and for Laura's Brandy and meara's ear and anything/one else I may have missed.
Also, happy PixDesign day! Can't believe it's been a year, y'all!
Daniel, thanks for keeping us posted. ~ma for everyone in need.
I still have StE's number in my phone and his email address in my online address book. I don't have a voice message, though. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have. And sometimes I think I'm just being morbid.
Daniel, I'll be keeping you and Andi in my thoughts. Thanks for checking in. I've been worried about you two all day.
Bev - I don't think it's morbid. My grandmother kept the answering machine message in my grandfather's voice until she died. Sometimes, she would call me and say, "Call the house and I'll pretend I'm not here." so we could both hear his voice again.
I find myself wishing that I had recordings of her voice.
I wish I had the tapes of Gram reading to us when we were little.
When our friend B's dad died unexpectedly last year, we pulled a voicemail from his dad off the machine for him.
Sometimes -- this is embarrassing to admit -- when Tim leaves me a voicemail, especially one in which he says "I love you," I save it. Just in case.
Yeah, I know.
When Wallybee and I started dating, she wrote down every text message I sent her, and kept doing so over the next year or so. (Came in handy when we set about proving to immigration that the relationship was genuine.) I lost her messages to me when I changed mobiles, but my favourite was one she sent me when I was off to run a D&D game: "HAVE FUN AT YOUR GAME. I LOVE YOU. KILL THEM ALL."
"HAVE FUN AT YOUR GAME. I LOVE YOU. KILL THEM ALL."
I remember you telling me about that when you visited! And I thought, yes, she's a keeper.
