Well, I have held off posting anything about the speed reader software for a while as I have been working away on competition integration (more on that another day...) and have been working hard on other projects too.

In the meantime, I was checking the new submissions last night, and noticed that the site now has received submissions from 25 different countries! That's more than I had hoped for, given its relative newness, and the fact that I don't promote it outside of this forum. (Source: the Big List: http://www.ka72.com/biglist.aspx)

Thanks to everyone who has played with the site. And I look forward to seeing many of you on Green Island next month!

Out of interest, the countries that have submitted files (of all kinds, windsurfing mainly, but also skiing, snowkiting, sailing, driving, cycling, walking, kitesurfing, ice sailing, and standing in their backyard (you know who you are) are:
Argentina
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Canada
Croatia
Egypt
Estonia
France
Germany
Italy
Japan
Kazakhstan
Lithuania
The Netherlands (plus The Netherlands Antilles)
New Zealand
Norway
Poland
Russia
Spain
Sweden
Taiwan
UK
Uruguay
USA

WOW....i'd be worried Dylan Nth Korea may now have your place locked in as a strategic target thinking that you may be an intelligence gathering agency.

There's obviously some missing countries in that list. I'd like to see more European entries (Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Denmark, Switzerland all spring to mind.) Also, Africa is vastly underrepresented (especially South Africa and Namibia.)

There is nothing to speak of from the middle east, though I know there are loads of expat sailors in Saudi Arabia (I remember sailing there myself when I was a kid) and no doubt Dubai too.

Nothing yet from China or the Phillipines or Singapore or Indonesia. Not even Thailand. And I am yet to see any tracks from pacific islands (Fiji, Tonga, New Caledonia etc) apart from New Zealand.

Lots of tracks from Texas, but none from Mexico, and barely anything from the Carribean. None from Brazil yet either, which is something I am looking forward to (we hope to get to Brazil next year, and I'd like to find some good spots.)

If anyone has some holiday tracks from any of those locations, I'd love to see them on the site!
