scales

I need to set the bottom and left hand scale for the chart. I was thinking of setting the kilos scale to be the maximum weight + 10 kilos and the minimum to be the minimum weight minus 10. But motivationally, I think it may be better to see the weight scale go down to the weight where you are heading.
In addition to this, eventually, setting the target weight will mean the scale has to accommodate the targeted weight, and date.
All items should be available through the settings.

OpenId

In the several pre-development stage of LostKilo, I used OpenId. I would like to contunue using it, as it has advantages to the user and to me, I feel its a win win situation. Here is some sample code on implementing OpenId in mvc. This means all I have to save in my database is the user email.

Modal Dialog Choice

Here is an article about modal dialogs to be used with the ASP.NET MVC stuff. It is not a very good article. I have used the jQuery UI block and many others. I am going to collect some information about these here.

There is a thread on StackOverflow but it doesnt say much. David Wiliams has some explanation here.

Considering using Protovis

Added some security

I installed Windows Security Essentials on the Office PC. This looks like the bit of software that MS has been missing for many years. I always wondered why windows would infer that your PC needed virus protection but that MS had nothing to offer to fill that gap.

I am also listening to the Pogues on the Development PC using Spotify.

New Tabs

I added two new tabs to the main page. A Charts tab that lists the charts, and a My Chart tab that will list the default chart for that user.

I like the concept of each user having a current or default chart. So when they log in I can take them straight to the chart they want to see. Clearly I will have to provide management pages so that the user can change their default chart.

I think a user would want to do this as, after using a charts for a while, it can become too big and contain data from a long time ago.

Installed Inversion Of control framework

I downloaded Castle Windsor http://www.castleproject.org/castle/download.html

So I can start testing the Chart List properly

I used the notes from "Pro ASP.NET MVC framework" but there is an alternative explanation of the set up here by Matt Hall.
