Sorry, I was just browsing my friendsfriends page and came across this -- I really like your charts. Do you use a particular program, or do you make them yourself?

The charts and the surrounding post was generated by a gaggle of scripts which I threw together a while ago. The charts themselves are generated by gnuplot (http://www.gnuplot.info/).

Hiya, as Simes says, they're done by something he wrote. It's a bit ad hoc and runs on linux, so I don't know if that appeals, but once it's set up it really is very easy to use. I just add a line to a file and then type "make" and it does the whole LJ post for me and everything.

I guess that ad hoc could be taken to mean "a gnarly mess of perl, sh and make which shows why sometimes re-writes of code are a good thing" :)

whoops - was the gain expected?

Hang in there - I know you can do this!

Yes, it's been a week of little motivation and eating lots of rubbish.

More worrying than the gain itself is the fact this is the first time the 4 week average is going up rather than down! Definitely need to give myself a good hard kick up the bum and keep going. This is not just going to be another short term loss before I get back on the up-escalator again, like the last few losses have been.

I certainly know how hard it can be sometimes!! The best advice I can give is to just resolve not to give up, get back to doing what you know works for you, and remember that you have plenty of people who are here to support you! :-)
