Champion  7931      Sequim, Washington |  Subject: RE: Nibbs XXXVIOh well, they are too funny to not share. This is an excert from a series of emails between dave and I (or is it me?) I'm currently programming a lot, so it messes up my sleep schedule. I made a little calendar, kind of like the one on BT. Except I have complete control over this one! Bwahahaha! I'm going to generalize it beyond triathlon, and even beyond sports, but I can reveal nothing because you're a high ranking BT spy. Not that I want to take down BT--I think we can coexist peacefully. But BT's programmers, although less clever than I am, are probably more proficient and faster at implementing an idea. The people I'm taking down: TrainingPeaks. The bastards. |

Would love to see that calendar. I actually often wish I could combine my BT and OUtlook calendars. Maybe you can but I just not savvy enough. |

She isn't the forgiving type.... And yes, there are positive things in it. Also, I'm trying to phrase the negatives in a way that are "constructive" rather than just.... negative. Ugh. Most of my department said they aren't turning it in.... sounds like a tough situation are the reviews anonymous? Does sound tough. I guess it isn't mandatory to turn them in? |

The people I'm taking down: TrainingPeaks. The bastards. here is my response to that post. ooooh-you are taking down the 'official software' of USA Triathlon, Triathlon Canada, and British Triathlon? wow! So once TrainingPeaks is smashed into obliteration will you be filling those contracts? And his reply: No, I won't take those contracts, because I hate USA Triathlon. Taking them down is the ultimate goal, as they require money from all athletes but serve a purpose for only a tiny percentage. USAT is bad for triathlon. TrainingPeaks is in my sights because they make crappy software, but they also have an effective monopoly. And I work under the philosophy that an athlete should have complete control over their data. BT needs to understand that too.
I am fairly sure that he is serious about the program. I just hope that it is part of his PhD project-which is quite possible. But then again... |

It would be the end of Nibbs and that can never be. Hmmmm! Nibbs may need to send a spy out there to stop him. Who shall we send? MEL!! |

I just hope that it is part of his PhD project-which is quite possible. But then again... It's better for him to have a side programming project that isn't his PhD. It helps you stay in the programming mindset when you don't want to work on your project or you get stuck. Very helpful. Yes, I know from experience. Unfortunately. |

Champion 14677 Bronze member | Subject: RE: Nibbs XXXVI I am not surprised. It takes a while to feel better after a real challenge. The most miles ever at a clipping pace in ungodly weather. YUP it may take a bit. You should swim more this month. |
