I don’t know how long this update has been out but Google have finally added a fast way to limit your reading list to a certain subscribed feed or label set.. about time too!

Just a quick post to let everyone know that CoopersGuns Health, Fitness & Bodybuilding Exercise Encyclopedia is now complete!

A flash app guides you through picking the muscle group you require exercises for and then links you to a page which contains a list of possible exercises, grouped by category

Once you select an exercise you are taken to a page which describes the exercise and shows you exactly how to perform it with the aid of a video of the exercise (flv flash video technology)

The following seems to work quite well for some AJAXified forms I have (a behaviour.js rule):

'#form_field_id' : function(element){
	element.onkeypress = function(e){
		e = (e)?e:window.event;
		var kc = e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.charCode;
		if(kc == 13) {
			do_something();
			return false;
		}
	}
}

We’ve recently added an Exercise Encyclopedia to CoopersGuns (health/fitness website I’m helping to develop)

I decided to use Flash video (flv) for the exercise videos - it seems to work quite well

Please not however that it’s not 100% complete yet as some of the videos are missing the accompanying textual descriptions

I’ve updated most of my WordPress installs to 2.0.3 and there’s a few dodgy bugs which are quite annoying - confimation when editing stuff that shouldn’t be there and also extra backslashes being inserted when editing things

Fortunately Mark Jaquith has produced a plugin which fixes these bugs

Just seen this on Digg… Google Spreadsheets

Looks very interesting!

I wrote a quick php script to convert my custom db stored blog posts into Wordpress format and insert them into my new database.. it seems to have gone alright, there’s a couple of errors but I’ll fix them over the next few days

Going to have to spend a bit of time creating categories too but that shouldn’t take too long

Oh, also the site template! I think I’ll create something new anyway

I’ve decided to ditch my custom CMS for the time being - unfortunately I haven’t really got the time or inclination to work on developing it right now.

I’ll retroactively add my existing posts to this Wordpress installation as some of them were quite useful!
