ka72 site changes

A quick roundup of things that have been happening with ka72.com in the last couple of weeks.

1) Faster calculation of high resolution files. Some large GW52 files were taking several minutes to calculate results. This is now down to less than 20s, with more improvements coming I hope. The speed improvements will also affect other files, but since they are already fairly quick it's harder to notice.
2) Creation of Kingdoms, a fun way to claim your favourite sailing spot. This was a tremendously popular feature of the WindWanderers GPS competition, and it is now live and international, no longer restricted to Queensland waters. I'll be extending this in entertaining ways over the season.
3) To support this, extensions to track searching, so you can now search by sailor and track type.
4) Addition of the first cut of My Stats, a part of the site where you can access your top ten times in a number of categories. This will also be extending over the season.
5) We're almost through reprocessing all the old GPS files in the system. Only around 20,000 to go now. (When we finally get through with this, expect site performance to jump a bit.)
6) You can now use a Track Claim form on the website to link your account to all the old GPS files you uploaded over the years. Several people have taken advantage of this to boost their Kingdom standing already :)

Cheers,
Dylan.

great stuff Dylan, the kingdom thingy is excellent !! (especially considering I'm the king of my home spot....but under serious threat !)
