I've added a "Bonus" section to my website that gives the latitude to
do a few more things.
1. It lets users contribute pictures of themselves and their bikes and
view others' contributions.
2. It releases (to a restricted audience) some of the more
controversial aspects of some stories.
On that latter point, I'm re-writing the highway motorcycle-pedestrian
incident that's been discussed here before, to improve the prose and
include some pictures.
There's already an article in the new section covering an Alberta bike
rally in 2004. This is made interesting by a wet t-shirt contest
(streaming video included) and the presence of a CBC documentary.
It'a all free. It's just that, when it comes to uploading and stuff,
you'll need to click "Register" on the site to gain permission. Once
you get that, a "Bonus" entry appears on the menu (if you log on).
I've covered it in more detail in today's blog entry as well.
The website is at: http://www.xidos.ca
The blog describing the feature is at:

Cheers.

Dog gone. 5 minutes after I posted that, I discovered the computer
that serves the most frequently accessed pictures and videos has
crashed.
I'm in the process of flipping the links to a different server right
now, but it will take a little time... I'll indicate when that's
done.

Done. The site is fully functional again.

It seems my own server is shooting those pics out pretty quick now.
Maybe I'll leave it as it is for awhile.
Our broadband (Shaw) recently got an upgrade. They stated they had
increased download speeds by 50% (without mentioning upload), but it
seems the upload rate is far faster now too.
Your help's been much appreciated though.
