Well, I’m off work for about six or seven more weeks. Attia was born at 7lbs 14oz and she’s sleeping peacefully right now. So for the next month and a half or so, I’ve got some spare time on my hands. I have, again big plans to revamp this whole site. Unfortunately, my mediocre at best skills have faded since I setup this crappy framework here. So god only knows how I think I’m going to improve it. Outside of that, still training up for a triathlon next month in Carp, 1.5k swim, 40k bike and 10k run.

I’m also working on improving, or more accurately changing my old workoutdoc.xls form.

Now, I really like the old version, month by month but it was a bitch to setup every year. I’d have to plot out the days/dates for the entire year right up front. Huge hassle, so I’m changing it to be a weekly version, without dates involved. Since every week always begins on the same day and follows in the same order every time without worrying about dates I’ll save some time and effort. Though, I’ll lose the diary aspect of it I suppose. Like looking back at this one from 2003, I know that on August 23rd I biked up WM with Vu and the crew.

So, if you have or know of a way to automatically populate an .xls sheet with current month/dates/days as pictured above please let me know. Otherwise, later today or maybe manana I’ll post a link to the new and different workout sheet for anyone who wants to use it. Though, be advised, the calorie burning formulas are based on a 30-40 year old male in the 170lbs range.

I’ll also be accepting any relevant feedback on the design/update the the website here if anyone would like to submit some. Yes, I will also post a picture of Attia or two in the near future. The longer she sleeps the better it is the for the content here, and for my blood pressure levels. Nothing is quite as piercing to the eardrums as a baby crying.

UPDATE

Here’s the newest version for anyone that wants it. Let me know if you have any feedback, you may or may not need the newest version of M$ Office. If you can’t open the newest one, here’s a version your UNIVAC can open.
