Another new feature has been added! This one allows you to select the
date that you filled up, instead of having to type it in. With this, it
sets the date to your preferred format, automatically! This eases
problems with data consistency, and makes it easier for you to use.

Finally managed to get some entries for someone who was waiting on me. Almost 30,000 miles for him alone, all the way back to 2005!
Thanks pk!
MyMiler.com has moved from MySQL to PostgreSQL. What does this mean to you, the user? Probably not a whole lot. So why do it, you ask? Because it will make adding new features a lot easier for the developer(s), and much less error prone.
Look for new features (like improved unit support) coming soon!
Woohoo! Twitter support is here. You should be able to enter mileage information directly via twitter now! Just add your twitter username to mymiler.com, and follow http://twitter.com/mymiler. It will automatically follow you, and from there on, direct messages to mymiler will create entries for you.
Currently valid entries are things like:
100000m 20.00g $3.289
100000m 20.00g 3.289
100000 20.00g $3.289
and more. Anything that doesn’t get processed is still captured, so that it can be reviewed at a later date.
I’m working on Twitter support, among other things. So if you’d like to be able to send your fuel updates via cell phone, head over to the mymiler twitter page, and click on the Follow button. I’m not completely sure what format I’m going to be parsing for, so if you have suggestions, please send a tweet to mymiler and tag it with #sg.
Thanks!
Thanks to a few users who had some backdated data, mymiler.com is tracking over 30,000 miles driven, and $5,000 USD spent on fuel. Not bad for an application that’s still pre-beta!
One of the ‘bugs’ that was reported to me was that users with only a single vehicle shouldn’t have to select their vehicle from the drop down, on the entries screen. This has been rectified, and should make adding entries a little easier!
I’ve added validation to the entries screen. This way, if you enter invalid data, it won’t just accept it and move on, it will actually tell you that you did something wrong, and you need to fix it.
Makes for a much better user experience, IMHO.
Now, to get it on the rest of the pages!
