How to import Suunto Movescount in Apple Healthkit
Finally, after a few hours of power-googling I solved it. Well, someone else solved it for me.
By installing the free app Rungap you are able to import data from Suunto Movescount to Apple Healthkit. It also makes it possible to import data from Runkeeper, even manually entered data. (Currently the Runkeeper app only shows data recorded on IOS8 devices in Apple Healthkit, but by using Rungap everything will show up).
Did I mention Rungap is free? Well, it is. And no ads. If you use it regularly it is possible to make a small in-app purchase to support their efforts. Also, this unlocks some more features, though not needed for syncing in data to Healthkit.

Excellent free course for iOS 8 Swift app development
Found this the other day, free online course from Stanford University teaching iOS 8 and Swift app development for iPhone and iPad. Give it a go! It is available in iTunes U, thus you need iTunes installed on your computer. You can view it on your iPad or iPhone as well.
Here is the link: Developing iOS 8 Apps with Swift
Solution to Google App Engine, localhost, HTTP Error 403 Forbidden, Python, Django
Finally, after hours of power-googling, I have solved it. It was the damn proxy that made it impossible to try out the app locally. My computer needs a proxy to connect to the outside network, but Python does not really like this. So now I disable the proxy before I start the local google appserver (dev_appserver.py). Working in Ubuntu 14.10 this is the solution.
- Make a copy of ~/.bashrc and call it .bashrcNoProxy
- edit the new file, remove the system wide environment proxy settings by adding these rows to the end of the file:
- unset http_proxy
unset https_proxy
unset ftp_proxy
unset no_proxy
unset HTTP_PROXY
unset HTTPS_PROXY
unset FTP_PROXY
unset NO_PROXY
- unset http_proxy
- Run the command ‘source .bashrcNoProxy’ to disable the proxy.
- Now run dev_appserver.py appengine-try-python-django (last part is of course the name of your app folder)
- Now you are able to test the app by surfing to localhost:8080
Well, now I know this, and you to. Crap, things are hard when you are not used to it.
My original error message from dev_appserver.py when accessing localhost:8080:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 410, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 523, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 448, in error return self._call_chain(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 382, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 531, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp) HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Getting things done using Trello
As always, keeping track of what should be done and doing the correct prioritization are the keys of an effective workplace (and of course execution). Try Trello! (It’s free) Look below for tips on how to take control of your workday.

A while back we used a free service called Trello to manage a small project for a local club. I really enjoyed the tool and possibilities. It can be used for agile development, kanban planning and execution, or just organizing things into different lists. It is a very flexible tool and can be used for lots of things. Either you are a team/organisation or you can use it for your own personal work planning. They have a great web app as well as apps for iOS and Android.
Lately I have been focused in using it for my personal work planning and execution. I actually found a guy that has been doing this and it really inspired me. Please have a look at http://moverell.com/post/37906527558/getting-shit-done-with-trello to get started.
Have a nice day!
