12 minutes

What can you do in 12 minutes? Can you have a pizza delivered? Can you even get to McDonalds and start eating?

We signed a lease for a new apartment in Kelowna, my first call was naturally to have our internet connection hooked up, and 12 minutes after placing the order by phone, I had a Shaw cable modem installer knocking on my door, modem in hand, and was up and running a few minutes later.

Wow.

fatwatch

I stumbled across a neat app for those of you both keeping track of your weight, and owning an iPhone or iPod Touch. It’s called fatwatch, available at the AppStore

It’s a simple concept, every day you fire it up and enter your weight, it keeps track. Yay. However, what it also does is allow you to chart your weight over time, and builds an exponentially smoothed average to help you watch your over-all weight trends, without letting an ice cream day hurt you.

It also allows you to set and measure goals, and based on your current and target weight will give you an estimate as to how you need to adjust your intake.

At $9.95 it’s not the cheapest app on the AppStore, but skip a couple fast food lunches and you’ll have covered the $9.95.

Feedburner

I’m currently experimenting with Feedburner thinking FeedBurner offers a ton of needless complexity, costs me several features I like, and adds virtually nothing of actual value.

Combine that with all the reports of FeedBurner not updating and I’m going to go another direction.

Please report any problems with the feed to me using the Contact Me link.
