Owner of GreenHybrid Moves to Houston - GreenHybrid

Welp, it's time, my friends. Those of you who have known me for a while are aware that I'm moving from Orlando, Florida to Houston, Texas to attend Rice University on Friday the 12th. That's tomorrow.

It'll be a two-day drive and I most definitely won't have Internet access from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon when I move into my college dorm/suite. Even when I do regain access, it will be orientation week and I'll likely be on the site very little.

If there are any important issues, please contact me ASAP so I may resolve them immediately. Overall, I think things are going pretty darn well around here! The Real Hybrid Mileage Database 2.0 has been launched and is [as far as I know] bug-free. I've just implemented units conversion for displaying the data. You can change your units system in your User CP Options (Discuss section). When I get the time I'll go the whole mile and make automatic conversions for adding data, as well.

The site is more popular than ever, there's a wealth of information, a large crew of helpful members and moderators, almost 10 million miles logged and a myriad of hybrid photos. Thanks to you!

It's been great this past year and a half and I look forward to what I consider to be the next "phase" in my life. There are more great things ahead with this site and hybrid cars, so stay tuned! Thanks again and I should be back in heart and mind in a week or so!

Good Luck and Smooth Sailing for you Jay-Dude.............Thanks for creating this very informative and innovative website.....

If you have any IT-related classes and get an assignment to create a website, then Voila you are already done !!!

Yes, good luck in school. Stay away from women majoring in MRS.

Is there a reason the database is rounding down now? The Civic MT and Prius 2 were both at 48 before because 47.7 was rounded up. Now the system is rounding down?

It might be a good idea to make a pop-up menu for choosing units instead of the link to the user CP for unregistered users, otherwise people have to register just to look at the graph in their native numbers... Looks good so far!

I know what the problem is and will look into it right now.

Schwa,
When I have more time, which definitely isn't now

Yup, just putting it out there.

GL with all the moving and new school.

The solution to that problem seems to have leaked into the metric graph, it's rounding off to the nearest whole number now.

Should be fixed now. Checking and then signing off. Adios!

Don't worry about that one--not many of those here at Rice.

The best thing about moving to Houston at this time of the year, is fall is around the corner - the end of hot muggy summers and ozone days.
