Wow, thanks, all. I'll go with the 1008. Thanks, thanks.

Tortoise 1.6.2 also 'silently failed' after installing on my Vista machine.

I spoke with nordictrack about my 800 and they said count how many times your knees go up and 1760 = 1 mile

As soon as folks get tired hearing themselve yabber. We will see the power of things like Twitter.

Re: Space Heater

In response to Mr. Roberts, the only issue I can see with your assertions is that I fail to see how a space heater can effectively heat an area of this magnitude comfortably or efficiently. Please explain to me how this unit can be as efficient as a standard central heat system. Thank you for your time.

Thank you so much!
I should be able to figure mine out now!

Hello,

Many thanks for the code, I combined it with another tool to have (I hope) a Netfilter log viewer : NetfilterEyes. I was obliged to do some changes to fit my needs... Hope this can help.

The manual says that one complete cycle around the matrix (the track that is displayed is 1/4 mile), double check the count when the matrix goes blank (it does that after each completed lap) then multiple by 4, but I like the approx. 1000 count for now..

Even though only a few have commented or asked questions here, it is obvious from the server logs that many, many people find this script every day. So, perhaps it is all over the Net already...

Excellent.

PHP modules were installed correctly and other PHP pages loaded fine, however you pushed me in the right direction and started thinking why the ajax-logtail.php script was not working.

The solution proofed to be simple :)
I had to replace the "<?" header with "<?PHP" (append PHP string)

When I did that the file was interpreted as a PHP file.

Thanks for your help, issue solved!

I can only offer educated guesses, then.

If the contents of the php script are displayed (anywhere) rather than executed, it would seem that your web server isn't properly recognizing the PHP as an executable script.

Can you hit htttp:/your.internal.server/ajax-logtail.php & get it to execute? If it only displays the contents, then you know your server doesn't have PHP capabilities. Solve that first & then the script should work in the context of the ajax logfile viewer.

Hi John,

That is very kind of you, however I am working on an intranet page.
I did upload the files I used, including a dir.txt containing the file attributes.
I hope it is enough.

If you have a link, I'll take a brief look.

I just setup the script on my server but sadly it does not work, probably I am missing something. When I press the "Start log" button the contents of the ajax-logtail.php page are displayed in the div area.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Server = apache2 on opensuse

This is really nice. I was browsing the web for a script doing exactly this but all were dated and incomplete and none were this mature. Amazing this script is not hosted all over the web. Many thanks for your efforts.

Thank you so much for providing the information I was looking for. This is very helpful. When we set up our new elliptical Nordictrack, lack of knowledge of the miles was my only complaint so far. Have a wonderful weekend. Misty

When I solve a particularly difficult (or just interesting) problem, I like to post my approach.

Glad to hear this may help you, Guy.

Aha, clever :) Have been looking at how to solve a similar problem, where my work Outlook calendar can publish to WebDav and I want to pick it up in Google Calendar, but only allow GCal to access it and no-one else.Cheers!

Thanks for the recent comments everyone.

It would be great if manufacturers took this as cue to improve the information that they make available on their websites - clearly many people have this question. Even those folks that are generous enough to comment here don't completely agree on exactly how or what to measure to derive this piece of data.

Hey NordicTrack - are you listening? We'd love to hear directly from you.

Confused 2 — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 12:18:15 -0000

no sure on the distance - are the calculation based on riding a bike or running. There is a big diffence going 1 mile by running or riding a bike.

We just bought a NordicTrack Audio 990 and, like so many others here, have wondered what distance we are "traveling". In fact, when I did a web search on this question, this was the site that had the most rational discussion, so compliments to Mr. Minnihan and the others who have commented on this topic.

With regard to pure distance travelled, I think the JH approach using the diameter of the wheel is the most accurate (though I measured 18 inches for the axle movement diameter, rather than 20 inches). The elliptical movement approach is interesting, but if that mimics the movement of our feet, we don't usually include the distance travelled by our feet as it arcs upward and downward as we run or hike, but rather the distance along the ground we have traveled; so, I fall back to the distance travelled by the wheel as it is translated to a linear distance (like a bicycle).

Now, I wondered why my heart rate was so high after walking only 0.6 of a mile and in only 20 minutes. When you factor in an incline of only 10 degrees (the minimum angle setting), it is like climbing a hill 0.6 miles along the incline and an elevation gain of 550 feet. That is equivalent to a 55-story building! A distance of 0.6 miles on a perfectly flat surface is much different than climbing 0.6 mile along an incline that is 550 feet high.

(The resistance setting I suppose is like simulating walking through snow, dry sand, or mud, so that's a whole other complication, but it doesnt effect distance.)

So, that's my 2-cents.
