Are you sure? I just tried entering a date in September and it accepted it. – Kensai, on October 04, 2009 17:09

A comment on the problem "Coach Program Problems on Nike+" in NikeRunning/Nike+:

Guys, I'm not working on Nike's support department. I just said to you what you can do UNTIL the moment they fix it. Give me a break, I'm trying to help here. – Kensai, on October 04, 2009 17:08

Don't worry guys, even if the Coach is lost, when it gets back you simply have to restart it by placing the date of your scheduled initial training back in the date you actually started. You can use the same trick to see just what was scheduled for the following days, even if it won't save it until the glitch is rectified.

No data is lost, it will still show your current workouts in relation to the scheduled ones. When it gets back, everything will be fine.

Excellent / Good / So-So / Struggling / Injured

Good is missing. But I would like something like "Bad" or "Struggling" for those days that are bad enough but we are not really injured...

I was about to start a 5K training on Saturday. I didn't lose any data, obviously, but now when I set it up again it doesn't save it.

Cuts according to IMPS and other tips

Just installed version 1.2 and... wow! :)

It is getting so much better with each update. I'm excited about all the new features, especially the animal charts! Instead of opening yet another "give praise" topic, I prefer to share with you some ideas to make it even better (version 1.3 or later).

• update any missing or erroneous information according to the Institutional Meat Purchase Specifications of the USDA which has some PDF files with almost 'scientific' information regarding the various cuts (for example the real difference between a Porterhouse and a T-bone according to tenderloin measurements)


• add all missing cuts photographs


• add graphics to those glossary items that don't have yet (especially the new ones which are also ways to prepare a cut: ie. marinate, broil, rub) - I know they are unimportant yet they give a really nice touch to the completeness of the program - please also consider adding temperatures in Celsius grades as well


• more tips from [your] experienced butchers like the one about soaking a beef liver in milk to reduce strong livery flavor!
  
• internationalization of the project: perhaps this can be done with a private wiki solution on the WWW page of the application, I'm pretty sure many of your loyal customers will rush to update the respective sections (translating terms and tips) - I can help with Greek, Italian, and German if you like

The last proposal is the least critical, of course, nevertheless please consider your foreign customers as well... for example: I would love to explain to my local butcher the cut I want in my own language while showing him the image/text on my iPhone. :)

Technical Question: Nike+ Infrastructure

What web framework does Nike+ Beta use? Ruby on Rails?

Kensai marked one of Sherrod's replies in Soft Illuminations, Inc. as useful. Sherrod replied to the question "Additional improvements coming?".

Kensai asked a question in Soft Illuminations, Inc. on August 10, 2009 07:02:

Is map panning/zooming possible?

Curse Counter is using Google Maps to show your current position at the moment of the tweet. However, both versions (desktop and iPhone) don't allow map panning/zooming to search for "curses" in the vicinity.

This adds to the simplicity, admittedly, but I was wondering if it would be possible to implement it to search around for other "cursers". Zooming is especially important, especially in large urban areas.

Kensai gave praise in Soft Illuminations, Inc. on August 10, 2009 06:52:

A helpful butcher in my pocket!

I want to thank Soft Illuminations for bringing us this extremely useful little application! :)

For many guys/gals living alone away from home, having such help while choosing meat cuts is great. For the best cooking results, it is very important to know the characteristics of the various cuts and to have some nice recipies handy. I'm looking forward to seeing you expanding this useful app and, why not, offering in the future a similar one for the fish market and vegetables/fruits.

I'm thrilled by the app.

Just what I wanted to discover new meat cuts and ways to cook them! I'm with Jacob on this one: expecting updates and new features...

Thank you in advance!

That was pretty cool indeed... the shortcuts are many, perhaps Peldi should create a webpage to have them all together somewhere.

(though I know where to find them... indirectly)
