Would it be a good idea to have an array of category names rather than just 
one?

A alternative way to accomplish that would be to have a function which sets a 
category to active or inactive. Then you can get rid of the extra category 
argument in ma_how_many_r_for_today(), etc. and the code would just loop over 
the active categories.

I guess it is never saved to file which categories are active?

Keep up the good work!
