• Day 42: New Sleep Posts from FitBit #100DaysOfIndieWeb

  

  I should have known this one would take longer than I expected.My Jawbone UP finally died, so I replaced it with a FitBit. I've really enjoyed the Jawbones, but I'm not confident in the future of the company's wearables department. I decided to take the plunge and dive in to the FitBit ecosystem instead. I got a new FitBit Charge 2, which among other things includes a heart rate monitor which I'm excited about. But step one was rewriting my sleep import script to pull sleep data from FitBit instead of Jawbone.

  It's that time again, my 8th @Jawbone is dying. Does the automatic sleep tracking on @FitBit actually work now?

  My 6th @Jawbone UP appears to be on its last legs. Pretty sure it's <1yr old too. Time to switch to FitBit?

  So @jawbone is still the most accurate sleep tracker, it's just too bad the devices keep dying after 6-9 months.

  @rosenthal Any chance you can hook me up with one of the UP24s? All three (yes, 3!) of my original bands broke!

  This week has been a complete technology fail:
  
  • Primary backup hard drive array failed, taking out most of my archive files
  • Secondary backup hard drive was deleted due to partial failure of primary
  • Literally lost an old photo project save for a few remnants
  • Left my #narrativeclip on the plane (got it back tho!)
  • My narrative clip failed to record two key events this week despite being fully charged
  • Both my primary and secondary #jawbone UP devices failed
  • My phone lost all its contacts and won't sync with iCloud or Exchange anymore
  
  Oh, and also lost a single piece from my 1961 Stratego set, making the game unplayable.
  
  Here's looking forward to a better week!

  @rosenthal Thanks! The UP remains my favorite device! Would be fun to chat next time I'm in SF!

  @aaronpk Hey!!! Kind of have confusion with the Jawbone's APIs. I've seen your git page. Can we talk a bit on this?
  

  @mohdabdurraafay Sure thing, best way is to join the #jawbone IRC channel, http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23jawbone
