It Works… Kinda

Paul — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:52:27 +0000

Well, it’s 11:52pm local time, and I’m just now posting my list for this week, but the good news is I’m actually able to post without doing the crazy work arounds I had to do to post last week. As of today, the issues with the site are resolved!

Or at least, they’re sorta resolved. There’s some odd Time Zone issue that I simply cannot seem to pin down with the Hacker’s diet plugin. Luckily, while the source of the problem itself remains a mystery to me, its effects are not. I can account for the time issue in the code itself and just give my server, WordPress 2.9.x, and their time zone mystery the finger.

Treating the symptoms instead of the cause isn’t usually advised, but the goal of this blog was for me to have a reliable place to post about my weight loss, not to make me a better programmer. Recently it’s had those two results reversed.

Things I Will Accomplish This Week

Reschedule windshield fix (Damn you Rain!) (Scheduled and installed)
Eat out 3 times or less (Almost made it, but a promotion celebrations at work threw me over)
Go to the gym BEFORE work at least once (Eh, who was I kidding?)
Find/price a local place that offers Bod Pod testing (Done)

One Item on The List This Week

Haven’t update the site at all (other then my weigh-ins) all week. Why? Cus WordPress 2.9 decided to break a whole bunch of plugins I use to make this site run, one of them being the Hacker’s diet plugin I use for weigh-ins. A couple of days I ended up having to do the trend calculations manually and, as bad at math as I am, that sucked.

I’ve gotten the primary offending plugins patched up to the point where I can post again, but I still can’t enter a weigh-in reliably without it being a big pain in the ass.

Things I Will Accomplish This Week

FIX THIS DAMN SITE (Done)

Project Focus Week

Paul — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:05:48 +0000

One list gone by, most of the goals accomplished. I’m aiming for 100% on these though, so I won’t b satisfied until that’s done.

Things I Will Accomplish This Week

Get a Google Wave account setup for IH project (Done)
Clean up Magician or Dentist DB (In Progress – Alot more work than anticipated)
Get in touch with a graphic designer about Magician or Dentist (Done)
Hit the treadmill 3 days (Missed by 1)
Cook one dish I’ve never cooked before (Attempted, what I cooked wasn’t edible)

List #1

Paul — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 07:18:53 +0000

I set out to post a list every Monday, and the intention was to post them first thing, but it didn’t turn out that way today. I got about 3 hours sleep last night, my knee is killing me from running sat which slowed me down everywhere I went, and a doctor’s appointment right in the middle of the day really hurt my ability to get everything I wanted to get done today done. However, it’s technically still Monday here on the west coast, so I’m claiming a moral victory on this one, even if it is short.

Things I Will Accomplish This Week

Have the next list ready to post by Midnight on Sunday (Done)
Set a new budget for the new year (Done)
Get the windshield on my car fixed (Not technically done, but scheduled)
Hit the treadmill 3 days (Not Done – Only Made it Twice)
Weight train 2 days (Done)
