How I learned to ignore X and concentrate on pies!

So red X's are popping up like mushrooms in spring and it's all a bit depressing but I'm pressing on irrespective.  I'm kind of at the point where I may choose to dump the ribbon altogether and go back to a traditional menu structure, or investigate alternate controls.  Not sure yet.

Moving on, I found myself curious about comparative distances, so the next feature to be added will be a pie chart of activities where distance > 0

Right now the only way to get this information is from the summary pivot and they say a picture is worth a thousand words.  They also say pies are nice.  I like pies :-)

I'm also experimenting with web app prototypes.  It's not actually all that hard as the graph routines, data handling and so on are very portable.  My CSS and web-fu however is somewhat lacking.  Interesting experience though.
