Diabetes sucks

Diabetes sucks, the one thing you have to do is keep aware of your blood sugar levels for me that’s testing 4 to 6 times a day. I’m real bad about loosing my log book or not even logging in a test. I started looking for an application that I could use (I’m on the damn computer 10 hours a day might as well use it). I even started looking at writing my own application when I stumbled upon www.sugarStats.com

It comes in a free and Pro version but trust me the free version is all I need, it tracks my sugar levels and even gives me the daily average, as well as monthly averages too. Nice charts and graphs, and even lets you keep track of all the medications (I take 5 medications and I’m one of the lucky ones) that you take. It has a mobile version so I can enter my stats no matter where I’m at.

I have to say it was the answer for me, it’s got a nice Web 2.0 feel, but most important since I’ve been using it I’ve dropped my average  sugar level down 5%, now if someone would just come up with a cure.

The Surface I could buy a car or a table.

Vista the true info commercial.

This is fantastic

Ron Paul’s Sweet Web 2.0 Web Site.

No matter what you might think of the politics, Ron Paul has one of the most technological advanced Web 2.0 websites I’ve seen. Most notable is the real time updates to contributions on his home page. This site is real polished and I for one would like to know more about who designed it and what goes in to making it as good as it is.  I like the links to  digg, flickr, and other web 2.0 offerings. I would love to know if your using  Linux  for any of this too (hope it’s Ubuntu if you are). So come on Ron Paul let us geeks know what runs your site.

The Truth Hurts

I have a small glitch on my website it’s not a huge glitch and unless your using IE7 you can’t even see it. Which brings me to my point, in Firefox, Opera, and even Safari it looks just fine. I know I could go and fight with the code all day long and fix the issue, something I’ve had to do with other websites, but I’m just not going to. Why does Microsoft refuse to  make applications that use industry standards when it comes to code. Oh, I know it’s to lock us all in to the Microsoft way of doing things but honestly I’m fed up with it. Now Microsoft is pushing this OOXML crap down our throats even though no one really wants it. I’m tried of all this. I just want to have to code once and be done not go back and debug to make sure it all looks good on IE7 .

How do you embed a wordpress blog into a web page?

So I got this blog how do I embed  it (or just let it be viewed) on my website? I’m thinking Frames? Anyone got a better idea?

Ubuntu, Open Source, and Ron Paul

That’s right Ubuntu, Open Source, and Ron Paul. What could those three things have in common, well Ubuntu and Open Source sure, but what’s with the Ron Paul? As some of you may have guessed next years presidential  elections in the United States of America is more than likely going to be an ugly brutal mess. No one is happy about the war no matter what side of it your on. The economy looks like it’s booming but only if your one of the have gots and not one of the have nots. Gas prices are rising every day, which means food prices go right up with it. Thanks to the Patriot Act, we’ve been kissing most of our civil rights good bye too. So what does any of this have to do with Ubuntu or Open Source Software, for that matter Ron Paul? Well Ubuntu is a community thing each of us helping one another. The more you contribute the more you get back, much like Open Source Software. I’ve debugged a few applications in my day and the skills and techniques I learned was more valuable than any programming class I’ve ever took. That bring me to Ron Paul and what he stands for. When I started looking for a person I could trust to lead the United States I started to get a little worried everyone scared me, that is until I found Ron Paul, the only republican to vote against the war from day one, vote against the  Patriot Act, and even understands what Internet neutrality means. I’m not sure if Ron Paul is aware of it but he brings to the table all the values that most of the Linux users and Open source Developers I know care about. A free and open society, free of government intervention, and the right to do as you please as long as you do not infringe on others.

Yes I know this is kind of a political rant, but with lobbyist for Microsoft trying to kill the Open Document Format, Telcos trying to regulate the Internet, and senators trying to tell us the internet is like a bunch of tubes. We just might want to get a little political before were all regulated out of the very rights we as open source supports hold dear.

Help My file hosting site is down

The company I’ve been using to host my files, pictures, and documents has been down for a week now. I thought they were great I had 25GB of storage and I could link to the files for my websites, blogs, and other stuff. They did a big upgrade and now I can’t upload new content and none of my hosted links work. Anyone know of a similar service that  is  free and has at least  5GB of storage? What a bummer.

I came across this today, It’s pretty cool

ZOHO Creator Great for creating online databases. So now I create the database and I can access it no matter what OS I’m using, WindowsXP, MAC, or Ubuntu. Very powerful scripting, lots of features, it’s beta so I hope it stays free.
