    Well, is it possible to have the API?

      Sorry; it's a strictly single user, privileged interface situation! ;)

        Well, like my doctor says (Dr Mouse), everything's hackable ^^

          Lucky bastard. I married the only person in the world that believed I knew nothing about. That didn't last long though...

          My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

            ...and I've just been to a recipe site that realized I'm in Europe, so it is giving me metric measures. Unfortunately, it's just used a fixed conversion from the US oddities and is suggesting I need:

            78.07 ml basil leaves
            2.46 ml soya sauce
            14.79 ml fish sauce
            ...

            I'm going to need a pipette for this one... :laugh:

            You're measuring basil by volume! :confused: Also it needs to be clear as to whether that's fresh or dried. Looks like a double conversion via fl oz as I would expect those measures to have been in tsp (5ml) and tblsp (20ml) but why convert from a measuring unit everyone has available measures for? Oh and its going to cost to find finding a pipette to handle 10s of microlitres - good luck.

                  We're not lazy....we just work hard so that we can order out all the time ;) (Although I've never seen 78ml of basil leaves, maybe I've seen a handful or a few grams.)

                        I'd be happy to tell them. I don't think they're good cooks. I think they're good at marketing, hype, and over-charging for snails - is what I think they're good at.

                          OK, half a teaspoon of soya sauce, and half an ounce of fish sauce, but's the US measurement for basil leaves?

                          Truth, James

                            About 1/3rd of a cup, I think. Or a handful if you've got large hands.

                                    I love lazy-constructive programmers! There is a bit different between lazy programmer and lazy-constructive programmer. First one does not want to do his job. Second one want to do the job: 1) as quick as it's possible, 2) as painless as it's possible, 3) as best as He can do it (never wants to do the things twice!) I can proudly say: i'm lazy-constructive programmer ;)

                                      I'd say the same for me, except I'm less concerned about "as quick as possible" and more concerned with "don't want to have to fix it - so get it right before it goes out" And it mostly works: a quick check of my current app: First released 10th Feb 2014. 15 revisions since 80 modifications 13 internal changes (neither bug fixes or mods, they don't affect use: terminology changes, additional documentation files, reorganised folder structures) 24 bug fixes. I'm happy with that, though the bug fix count is a bit high (mostly trivial spelling mistakes though)

                                        On the other site... 24 bugs per 80 modifications it's 0.3 bug per modification. I'd like to say: it's acceptable ;)

                                          ...and I've just been to a recipe site that realized I'm in Europe, so it is giving me metric measures. Unfortunately, it's just used a fixed conversion from the US oddities and is suggesting I need:

                                          78.07 ml basil leaves
                                          2.46 ml soya sauce
                                          14.79 ml fish sauce
                                          ...

                                          I'm going to need a pipette for this one... :laugh:
