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

Sauna at home and Vivid Dreaming

Due to the current situation where we are all at home and most public places are now closed I've invested and bought myself a sauna. I got a Valo 2 person sauna and it's been great so far. I purchased it for ~A$1600 (before a price rise due to the exchange rate). If you are reading this in early April 2020 they may still have stock here of the same model: https://www.luxoliving.com.au/Valo-2-Person-Canadian-Hemlock-Carbon-Fibre-Sauna-Cabin I had looked at a number of sites for a sauna that would fit into my 1 bedroom apartment and more specifically on my balcony. I briefly thought of a 1 person sauna but I'm so glad I got a bigger sauna as it's already a bit like a confinement space and to have a smaller space again I think would be a bit too claustrophobic. Originally I had thought to buy the sauna from Appliances Online due to my previous great experiences but the delivery timeframe was too far away so I cancelled my order and ended up buying it f...

The Croissant Diet Experience with a CGM - Sept 2020

I've been on the bandwagon of The Croissant Diet (TCD) for a little while. Maybe 6 weeks or so. And I thought I should document things a bit. There was a great summary by Brad Marshall on Twitter on what The Croissant Diet actually is: Eat LOTS of long chain Saturated Fat and avoid PUFA like the plague. Also avoid MUFA. If you want to eat some starch, go for it! But smother them in SatFat. That’s the whole thing, really. — FireInABottle (@fire_bottle) September 21, 2020 What I'm eating: Meat - beef or lamb mostly as this is low in PUFAs and high in stearic acid. Fats for cooking - tallow or butter. Enhanced with stearic acid. Eggs - cos they are a great whole food. Usually cooked in tallow or butter (enhanced with stearic acid if I remember). Butter Cream for tea Coffee - usually black Low carb "carbs" -- Atkins crispbread and Woolworths Macro bread. These have vegetable oils so not great but I try and overwhelm it with lots of butter. But ge...
