- also supports metric units for height and weight
- removed a hardcoded 2-year constraint for the diet's duration
- asks user for birthdate instead of age
- shows a concise Trend Chart in the main view
- minor UI differences

It being a Rails app, I'm still wondering where to host the working app.

I'll probably put the source code on GitHub

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.

Also, I cleaned up the Trend Chart a little.

Also, there's a link on the Calorie Log page to the Text/PDA version if you want to see how that works for you. You can add/delete items and search right now. More functionality will come in the future.

C'mon Friday.

I just uploaded a new search.php that should take care of the problem.
