mōˈmentəm; Physics the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.

Being the “itchy backside” that I am, I thought to myself, hey, why not another blog? As if I’ve updated this one at all. A blog is so passé, we’re now with the social networking world of Twitter and Facebook. Who is so vain to think that he needs a blog, let alone three? Hey, the world might just need another one ;)

Anyway, I’ve decided that all details of me coping up with weight loss and food should go to the Momentum site, and this blog is supposed to be about video games, and technology related items.

Since I’m on my “lose weight as fast as you can” mode, that site seems to have more updates than any of my other blogs, heck, even twitter :)

So there you go, if you’d like to follow up on how I’m doing with stuff pertaining to my “active” life, go ahead and subscribe to Momentum, else, I don’t blame you. We live in a world where you can get too much information overload, it might blow your brains out.

Crusty Bugger » Nike+ iPod WordPress Widget Installation Tutorial

Woot! Got the wordpress widget installed with a few problems that I managed to fix.

Problem 1: Widget displays in miles, changed to KM :)

Problem 2: Somehow the DOCTYPE text is displayed before the white box. (See Screenshot). Fixed by downloading the nplus.xsl from the site, commented it out by hand, and change the script to grab the xsl from the filesystem.

Minor problems with the Nike Plus WordPress Widget.

Problem 3: Can’t really fix this one as I don’t have the time :P . When the plugin has got problems downloading the data from the nike plus website, we get a NaN (Not a Number) as the result. This can be solved by caching IMHO. I believe that caching the data for an hour or a day won’t stress out the data retrieval that the Nike servers sometimes faced.

Not a Number

Anyway, here’s a pat on the back to Chris Bert for writing such a cool utility. I can’t wait for the version 0.2 ;)

This is a very interesting graph created by the Nike+iPod kit:

First run with Nike+iPod gadget

The graph looks progressive due to the BPM based playlist I made for my walk/jogs. I’ll post about BPM based playlist soon.

Colleague brought this over from US. I can’t wait to take this for a walk/jog.
