From Mike:


I apologize for the recent 'expiration' and confusing upgrade message with this version of MileTracker. I promise that this was unintentional. I completely forgot that I had long ago configured it to stop working on June 15.

There are two workarounds at the moment: 1) Install DeskPort which includes a fully up-to-date and functional version of MileTracker (see the May 28th message below) or 2) Set your computer's clock back to before June 15, 2004 before running MileTracker.

I'm close to completing discussions with another company that will allow me to offer a standalone version of MileTracker in the very near future (late July?). Please be patient and consider trying DeskPort, which I also wrote, until that time.
Late July!?!? I don't know if I can make it ;) Seriously, though, I am glad that the possibility (probability) of a standalone version is still alive.

Well worth waiting for in my opinion.

Amen to that. MileTracker was awesome. I miss it terribly. :(

Would any enterprising web developers want to try developing something similar? My web coding skills are pretty rudimentary, but I have been able to grab balance updates from vbscript for several FF programs so far, and displaying them as a html table is pretty straightforward. Sourceforge project anyone? :)

Creating More Fun Than Maintaining

I think developing the software is much easier, and more fulfilling, than maintaining it. Every time an airline or hotel website makes a change, the software breaks and (presumably) folks start complaining. I'm sure that gets old pretty fast.

registery hack fix?
 
Any chance of hacking miletracker back into shape?

Indeed the trick is keeping up with changing websites.
Many programs are easy to query, but some (like AA) get a bit trickier.

So far I've been able to query the following programs balances successfully using vbscript/javascript:
qantas
JAL
airmilesmart
continental
northwest
asiamiles
ebay anything points
goldpoints
mypoints
epoll
erewards

not working yet (of course these are the most important!!):
american
delta
united
usair

I'm trying to develop an xml-based query system, that should be easier to modify than requiring a new binary update.

Any other good mile tracker programs out there? @:-)

Today was the first day I didn't get a ton of error messages when using Deskport. :)

Try Yodlee
 
I am able to track everything through Yodlee for my family of six. The only negative is that you can't tell when a value changes. I have to compare the results to my spreadsheet.
