I left out the exercise rungs as I didn’t use them myself (narcissism!) but a few other people besides yourself have asked, so I’m working them into an update.

Is there any way you could incorporate the exercise information from the Hacker’s Diet book? Selectable rungs, perhaps, that would give you the details upon selecting one, and remember which one you’re on? Thanks for making a fine app; I’m hoping it helps me stick to this diet.

Comment on Which App Store? by Humbaba

As someone who’s used Eatwatch on the palm since 2000, I’m interested in Fatwatch, just not at ten bucks. I only paid five bucks for Civilization Revolution, and less than that for Solebon solitare which I’ve used for over 350 hours so far.

As long as my free eatwatch keeps running, I’ll keep using that until such a time as either Fatwatch goes on sale, the price is reduced, or a competitor comes in with a cheaper port.

I’m certainly all for your freedom to charge what you want for your software, but as a potential customer I think you should know that you’ve overpriced it for at least one person. (Of course, it could be that 90% of your potential customers think that price is great, in which case I’m back to waiting for a competitor)

Apple partisans are kinda loony sometimes.

There are two app stores, as described, but it’s not mac vs. windows, it’s PC vs. web. A lot of the crazy bad stuff is coming from the web world. What were stupid little web sites with an ad stuck in the corner are now stupid little 99c apps.

Thanks for the warning. I was about to make an invite for all 31 weeks of the CHOMPetition so that I didn’t have to make one each week!

Cool. Those long-ass events are a pain. I just send events to iCal on a case-by-case basis by clicking the “export” button on the event page, which downloads an individual .ics file which opens in iCal.

I agree that operator overloading is objectively terrible.
