Girlie bits
Apr. 9th, 2009 10:39 pmI've been logging my period for quite some time - a number of years - and while the site I was using was adequate, I was on the lookout for something a bit more funky. I found monthlyinfo.com, which, while it's a bit bare-bones, has a nice interface that isn't too relentlessly pink, and has a really nice yet simple stats page. You need to register with an email address, and while you could always crank out a mailinator.com jobbie, I used my usual one, and have not received any messages at all, except the one confirming registration.
An example of the stats is shown below, complete with the data I re-entered from the other site I've been logging at. I could wish for a tool-tip showing the applicable date for each of the graph points (you can see the actual dates on the History page), but I do like the the at-a-glance rendering of the variations in my cycle, what the average is, and also the standard deviation. Now, while it's looking a little random at the moment, those peaks and troughs really just represent a day or so difference in the onset of my period.
A killer app is being able to export the data in XML, CSV or even JSON formats. Very geekily groovy.
While I'm on the topic of bodily things, thank god for osteopaths. I managed to put my jaw out a couple of days ago, doing absolutely nothing at all (and certainly not anything like that, you filthy-minded individuals). I couldn't bite down with my molars at all, and it was most disconcerting. The next day, and half an hour of back pounding and jaw-massaging later, the thing was behaving itself, and I could actually eat lunch like a normal person. Thank god. I hope it doesn't become a trend, though. I'd rather just stick to having a cranky dorsal and cervical region, thanks.
