A B testing - in real life

How many times have you tested two items to find out your preference? I do it all the time. From trying to find out which tea is better to evaluating two priorities. As an exercise for my coding learning I want to create a web app or app that does the simple A/B test in real life.

I've bought a domain for it - preferlab.com - and could even potentially monetise it in a number of ways.

But first I want to build an MVP version. Myself. Somehow!

Mainly for my own purposes to track things I test.

Like for Cookies and Cream ice cream. Blue Ribbon was a bit disappointing. Woolworths Select is better. So in the model for my simple site it would be:

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
A. Blue Ribbon Cookies and Cream
B. Woolworths Select

B wins.

But I'm sure Bulla is a bit better. The Aldi one is pretty good too. But I'll have to wait till I can do a direct comparison before I add it to my list!

Will did a test the other day on Dry Ginger Ale. Schwepps vs the Woolworths brand. At 75c apparently it's so close so it will win on pure price alone!

Currently overthinking things. On how to build it. Could be a sign of procrastination. Simple admin dashboard style using a theme? Trying to apply some basic Javascript to Bootstrap buttons? Somehow using Google Firebase? Something else?

What do you think? Do you do any A/B testing? Any ideas on what I should use / consider to code this up?

Fitness Passport membership locations on a map

My Fitness Passport membership is now live! Woohoo! So I get access to a heap of gyms and pools and classes. For someone who isn't interested in a gym membership I'm not quite sure why I have joined!! Peer pressure. I'm very fortunate that I have the opportunity to join this type of membership as then I can go just about anywhere in NSW. The membership site gives you a list of them but I had no idea how close they would be to either work or home so I copied and pasted the details into a Google Sheet and then put them in a Google Map. I thought it may be useful for others too. You can access the map by this link too: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=10hH5PtKlBzeEzV6AoLev4vxqNoDxzR6y&hl=en&usp=sharing

A fresh start in a new town in a new year - hello 2022!

It's difficult to reflect on 2022 when 2021 ended on such a mixed way. With the plandemic it seems that a government job isn't very secure if you want to care about your health more than a living. The Monday before Xmas break I was "stood down" as I supposedly am unwilling to work. Nothing seems to make any sense. Here's an excerpt of the letter So I'm on forced leave till 7 February. I don't have much in the way of leave and as a fixed term contractor I don't have any long service leave. At this stage based on my No Regrets policy I'm still OK with my decision. I do not actually understand how this can be legal but unfortunately I am no lawyer. The other bad news at the end of 2021 was the passing of Auntie Ivy. May she rest in peace. I was very saddened about the event but also somewhat mollified that she died doing something she loved. She loved abseiling and died from "falling" in an accident - the article - https://7news.com.au/new...

No Regrets Policy

No Regrets At work, there were a bunch of "no regrets" initiatives and it prompted me to think about life and decisions or life choices. Big or small I realised you could attach a "no regrets" lens to things or at least decide based on less regret! But I also wanted to look at lens by taking responsibility for my decisions and have since adopted a No Regrets Policy. At one stage I was thinking about writing a book. Not for anyone but for myself. It was going to be WWYD or What Would You Do? (Or in my case, What Would Yvonne Do?) This policy is part of the imaginary book. What is a Policy? I work in government and I still don't really know what a policy is! But to me it's a principle or a framework in which to work within. So that's what I do with my No Regrets Policy. I either make a decision with that in mind - should I buy x? Will I regret not getting it? Will I regret getting it and not using it? Will I regret mi...
