DROPAFEW.COM - A Calorie Counting Program for your Web Browser 2008-08-20T08:46:07Z Chris Bratlien chris@dropafew.com Copyright 2008, Chris Bratlien SPHPBLOG Learning To Read Norwegian
If I had read only the headline "Satte fyr på seg selv" without seeing the photo beside it, I probably would have just skimmed over the headline and missed its meaning.

So whether or not Dagbladet.no reminds me of a tabloid newspaper, I can still use it to improve my beginner Norwegian vocabulary.

Same with the banner ads, of all things.]]> http://dropafew.com/index.php?entry=entry050712-010227 2005-09-07T00:00:00Z 2005-09-07T00:00:00Z NutritionData Website

I just stumbled upon NutritionData's Nutrition Facts Calorie Counter and I'm a little jealous because I think it's really good.

You've got to check out their site and use their Calorie search at least once. They also offer a FireFox plugin to search their database while away from their website.

It works on Mozilla Firefox. Internet Explorer: not so good, Al. I haven't tried it on any other browsers. Maybe I'll try it on Opera.

Check out the "testnav" theme for a sneak peek. You'll notice the stylesheet is a work in progress.

Within the DropAFew program, under the "Misc" section of the testnav bar, you'll see my rough-draft of a PDF report (pdfreport.php), and a new take on the Splurge Worksheet (splurge2.php).

I think my current Splurge Worksheet has limited usefulness because it focuses too much on just one day.

I also put an "As Of" date right on the main showlogcal.php page. Now, if I want to recall what I ate on a past date, I use the As Of date instead of going to the "Today Summary" page and keying it in there. I hardly used the Today Summary page, so I may remove it at some point.

If I can polish these couple of ideas up, it may be time for another project announcement on Freshmeat.

C'mon Friday.
