run1mile RailsRumble App

In which I actually find an application I can use. At the moment, I’m on a weight loss regime and I wish I could really do better with cardio.

Came across this application while browsing the RailsRumble leaderboard, Run1mile. It’s not yet on my Ballot, but if it does appear, full marks!

It’s pretty, it’s pretty useful and i think it’s complete! Gets me to complete a clear and simple goal. Oh I hope the programs are workable!

  • Initially it was hard to take you seriously, hiding behind a Happy Monkey moniker.

    We're grateful for expressing your opinion and giving us your advice (we're already following it, see?). Also i'm sorry that you're not impressed with our blog / company.

    We don't have the resources to hire someone special writing skills and English is not the first language for any of my employees. So, the blog's writing is only likely to be as good as the company's owner' writing skills.

    I realize we need to get over the yak shaving and update this more often. Many friends have advised us so. Perhaps we will get over our own limitations and do this more often.

    We do shy away from being a "corporate" though. My philosophy for the company is being personal and our customers enjoy our informal and non-corporaty image. So, unless our customers are unhappy with they way we deal with them, *i'm* likely to keep committing what some may consider cardinal sins.

    If this is a corporate blog then it certainly doesn't read like one. Its a cardinal sin to use first person narrative here. One small piece of advice - Ask someone with good writing skills to maintain your blog. Frankly it depicts your company in a very poor light.
