New stuff is exciting, but

I've just spent the better part of a week and a half trying to get something up that would run a Facebook app on a nice fluffy cloud. I'm a newb and a half when it comes to these things, so despite having learned a TON, I don't have much in terms of a working service to show for it.

I've decided to return to what I know for now: the Google App Engine and Android.

That said, I am excited to be on a new project in which I will attempt to make it easier for people to track the nutritional information in the food they consume. I say easiER because there's still a lot of effort involved. People will still need to be inclined to measure their food and drink and occasionally input unknown items into the database for food and or drink. I still think it is potentially a great tool. I've been doing this for myself with an excel spreadsheet for a while now, and am always surprised by how effective it is at helping me make the right decisions.

This project has the potential to dwarf all my other ones combined if I want to do it right, but that too is a good proposition for me at this point. Here's hoping things work out...
