Its Today.

Just dragged myself out of bed, so I'm still rather fuzzy around the edges.  Yesterday I couldn't concentrate to do any computer work, so I took care of a bunch of chores around the house that I've been putting off for ages. So, at least I got something done.

Not much else to say except that I've been attacked by mosquitos and now itch all over. All my life mosquitos have preferred to attack me to attacking anyone else in my vicinity. taxlady says she was always the same way, but now when we go for a walk she doesn't get bitten and I do. The last few years have been pretty good, with me only getting one or two bites in a year. I guess this year's dampness has really been good for the bloodsuckers, because I now have a dozen itching welts on various parts of my body. Bleah!

Food Thoughts.

I've been thinking again about doing a food database right. Now, after a bunch of checking, I have found someone who's close: CalorieKing. This site seems to be mostly a vehicle for using all of the recipies developed by the Family Health group, but they've also got nutritional information on lots of fast food. So, they haven't taken the idea anywhere near as far as I have, but they have a huge database which helps, and they let you search it for total carbs or total cholesteral in a meal. They are willing to license their DB, but I doubt they would allow it to be augmented and given away freely, and that is probably what would happen with my system. Reading through their stuff, it also seems that they are really interested in Copyright issues. Now, that may (or may not) be a problem as I want a system that can do theme's and variations on recipes, and will be happy to give sources and attributions. I'm not sure that will be sufficient. Maybe I should check out the wikipedia for their copyright policy, since my system is envisioned as being similar.
