FuelClinic Formulas

July 13, 2008 · Filed Under FuelClinic.com, Fuelishness!

I’ve been working for the past 3 days to overcome some shortcomings with the way FuelClinic is calculating various aspects of the data – I’ve found a few bugs, but worse, I found that I had made some mistakes that make the calculations overly complex when dealing with the variety of ways people log their receipts. (Consider that I’m trying to accommodate all users, using various standards of measure, currencies, and – eventually – languages…)

So I’m re-writing a good part of the “core” of FuelClinic, adding some intermediary calculations to “prepare” the data users provide so that it runs through the rest of the steps more easily. This is all very important (but boring) stuff to get right, right now, before fleshing out the rest of the neat-o wiz-bang features I can’t wait to work on.

Your data is safe – no need to re-enter anything. Thank you for understanding – sorry for the confusion I’m sure this has caused some of you. I expect to have this done in a few more days.
