Jog Logger

This started off as an exercise to learn more about SQL Server. I put together a real basic set of tables to keep track of my running. I have made a couple different front-end applications that utilize the tables. Initially the databases were tied to specific machines and were not accessible on the cloud. Now that I have my own static ip and am hosted, I have the jog logger online. I have made it a cookie cutter sort of application, where any avid runner can store their runs on my site, if they sign up of course.

Sports Ticker

This has been real fun to put together. I wanted to put a ticker on my jog logger web site, and looking around there is not a free ticker available. So I rolled my own. Initially I was doing all the updates for scores manually, but I ended up writing a parser to automate the score updates. It's all JSON and lightweight. Signing up is easy and painless. The hosted solution is on a load balancer so periodically the site will deny access. If I ever get serious I will look into other options to avoid that, but its coming along.
