Time flies when you don't have much to show for it. Since my last post I've been working on my editor and got it to a stage where I'm now using it. There are still a few bits that I want to add in (like code templates) and a few other bits that I might think about adding in (although they're not needed for my use and I don't see anyone else ever using the program), but other than that it's going good, despite a few bugs I've found and fixed.

I also started on the Healtheriser website again now that the editor is useable. The first thing I ended up doing was sorting out a bug that got introduced after updating the software running the website. I made it harder for myself as I misunderstood the solution for the problem, so I made a lot of changes just to realise after that I only had to rename two files. So I took the time to revert the changes I had done and just renamed the two files. I think I'll write some more tests for the existing stuff before I get started on newer bits. The weight entry is pretty clean as I was using it a lot, but I would like to have the tests there just to be sure. Plus it helps me get better at writing the tests.

I watched the entire series of Threshold yesterday. It's a pity it got cancelled at the thirteenth episode as it was a great series that was throughly enjoyable, plus it left it wide open as to whether they won or lost. While watching all thirteen episodes I didn't once check to see how long there was left of an episode, which is very rare for me! Plus the nine hours and 19 minutes of watching only felt like three hours, which kinda shows how into the series I was!

I also decided to sign up to Twitter for fun. I added a bit to the sidebar that will show the five latest updates. I'll attempt to update it as often as I remember, but I'll probably end up forgetting about it. At least you can do updates through Google Talk so I can just start that and then send an IM to the Twitter bot and it'll add the update for me. Saves having to add another bookmark and remembering to visit it each time, in which I have a pretty poor track record!
