New site for chastity and orgasms tracking

This is fun

 

You're right, It arrived immediately after the first email, as I logged in for the first time, which is what confused me.

 

An observation: the site does not specify a time zone (that I see) but appear to denote time in European time zones (Central European?)... I am Eastern Time Zone (US) and that was what I used when I started the manual entries, so when I ended the session last night using the provided button, I had to go in and adjust the time to match the first entry...otherwise I would have added 5 hrs to my time...

 

This type of thing is why I made the decision that I don't want to be a programmer
That being said, there are a finite number of time zones.... perhaps store the data in UTC and have a preference in the user profile which modifies the display time based on a table that says "Oh...this goober is Eastern US... so UTC -5"

 

There was an error with registering. I tried twice.

 

It does not show yet but I am in the lead at 522 days

 

I was able to register but haven’t gotten an email to verify. Does it take a while? Waited about 15 minutes.

 

I have. Nothing.

 

Never mind. I used a different email. My goof.

 

Quick typo... When registering an orgasm, you ask if it was RUIEND.

 

Now a question for you @alescan

When entering orgasms our sessions usually end with an orgasm and I'm required to lock up (or remain chaste on my honor) which begins the next session. The tracker doesn't allow days to begin and end on the same date which may be more honest for counting actual days but I'm curious if this is intentional on your part or do I need to fill in the actual times since the default is midnight otherwise?

My wife already thinks I'm a little OCD with tracking it at all but what I've learned just from entering in this year's encounters has been interesting.

Average lock up is about 41 days which has been skewed because she has had me out more often in the last month or so. Might be fun to run a report based on a date range but that is a long term goal not a must have.

I'm having fun so far. Thanks for doing this.

 

Holy crap! I just realized that I was just one day short of tying my all time record for being chaste as the new year began. She was pushing me longer and longer but I didn't realize (didn't do the math) until I was playing with the tracker website.

Very interesting.

 

I would do it this way.:
Let the user enter the date and time that sessions start and end.
For ease of use, populate the default field values with the current date and time. The user can then adjust the values as appropriate. They're not always going to have started or ended the session "Now", reporting is likely to be hours or days after the event.

The best way to set the default timestamp to the screen would be not to send it from the server, but to use a little javascript in the HTML, then the browser will use the timestamp on the PC, which will be in the user's local timezone.

That way, the actual time zone recorded in the database doesn't matter, and what counts is the difference between the start and end timestamps. The user can enter the timestamps manually using their own clock reference (whatever it happens to be). It then doesn't matter whether the server is using CET or UTM, the session durations will still be accurate. No need to program for time zone differences, we'll never need to compare start times!

 

(OPINION)
I might suggest that tracking hours/minutes/seconds in chastity is diving too deep and may not be useful for most of us. My own experience is that I'm locked up, I'm unlocked some number of days/weeks/months later and then I am locked up again.

Anything less than a day is unremarkable data to me and I certainly don't track it. (Today she let me out at 8:03:01.3333334 for play and I had an orgasm at 8:04:45.323221 when she locked me back up at 8:10:26.878888) It just feels like minutiae that goes way beyond the necessary and adds complexity to your efforts to develop the website.
(/OPINION)

It is likely for us that an unlock and a lock happen in the same day or even during the same hour but is it relevant to the goal? I'd struggle with that level of detail.

I would vote that you NOT delete any data and let us fix things as you bring new capabilities online if that is important to the user.

 

I would say take a backup of the data and then don't worry about it, just update the website and database. The facility is there if anyone wants to amend or delete and re-add their data.
Maybe just notify members that their data may have changed when you do the updates and to check it's as they want it. Options 2 or 4 are probably best.

As the previous poster said, a few hours plus or minus makes no odds really. Chastity is measured in months and days, not hours and seconds. I was going to suggest suppressing the hours and minutes when zero, but I'd say probably better and simpler for both you and members to just work in whole days. And that gets rid of the timezone problem too!

 

Your chastity time may be measured in days and months, but not everyone's is... My wife, for instance, doesn't permit me to wear the cage to bed so by definition, mine is day to day. I would use this tool to measure the consecutive days I've put the cage on, for instance, and the total time locked but it won't be lock and forget.
