  • PDA program with IOB feature

    Haven’t look at this much, but I read an notice about this that the 1.3 version does something they call Insulin Activity Feature.

    That’s an Insulin On Board feature for those of us who are Animas users. I neededt this.

  • Abbott — Therasense — Freestyle

    The Freestyle folks have some very nice updated software on their website. It’s a downloadable version of Copilot. It has a Java look and feel (most of the windows seem Java API like — don’t worry, that was geek talk).

    The graphs are very readable, and it allows you to merge records from several different meters and produce a report. You can also import data from the Cozmonitor program. If I can figure out how to create exported data from Ezmanager without too much brain power, I might because the EzManager reports can be difficult to read.

    Might be a good summer project.

    Anyway, website is http://www.therasense.com follow the CoPilot links.

    Yeah, can’t sleep either.

  • Therasense New CoPilot Program

    If you have Therasense meters (and Cozmonitor is included), Therasense (Abbott), has a new program that can be downloaded from their website to manage diabetes. It seems to be pure logging software — no calculations, but it is nice.

  • SharpMT

    I’ve installed SharpMT on both my school laptop and my home computer. If you have a TypePad or Movable Type blog, this is a really fast way to blog. You can also blog “off line” and upload later, which isn’t an issue. It works a lot like my mobile blogging software.


    So maybe I’ll blog a bit more.

  • Testing Tiny_MCE

    I'm trying a different editor for the blog.

  • Back to Movable Type

    I moved back to Movable Type. Yes, it’s a bear, but it’s a bear I am familar with. Plus the licensing deal isn’t bad. I did get on the beta tester list, so I do get it half off.

  • Upgraded WordPress

    Man, this software is EASY! I upgraded to the latest release version, and it only took a few moments.

    MUCH easier to use than Movable Type!

  • WordPress

    I can’t believe how easy Word Press is. Of course, Word Press was installed automagically by my server software (Fantastico) and importing my Movable Type entries was easy to.

    It is much more user friendly. Blogging is much easier.

    My reason for moving to this, wasn’t the licensing, it’s free for me, since I only do the one blog and the photo album. For me, it’s frustration. Movable Type 3.0 is a dog (software wise).
    This is MUCH easier.

  • Server Problems

    Well, the server administrator didn’t cooperate, so I moved this domain today. Things went alot better with this move, but then I wasn’t moving much data.

  • Server Issues

    Well moving the mailing list site over to the new server foobarred. Obviously because I don’t know what I’m doing. I started out by putting in the wrong dns names , and didn’t catch that until the next day.

    Still don’t know where those came from.

    I’ve asked the old server guy for some help. If he provides, then I’ll keep this site here, and my classroom site here.

    If not, I’ll be moving. I have several options going right now, if the phpfreaks site doesn’t work out.

    This site isn’t going away.

    And Movable Type is still foobarred, but I’ve learned a lot from it. FYI: I’ve based a classroom website on Movable Type ideas.
