For those of you who don't know I had a bit of a spill on my bicycle that landed me in the back of an ambulance and kept me at the hospital for about 12 - 14 hours.


I was taken out in a bicycle derby (What does a bicycle derby look like?) because someone in the crowd decided it would be fun to jump out and shove riders. He shoved a rider who was to the right of me on the outside of the circle. That rider went flying into me and I landed on my face. Then the other rider landed on top of me.

Result: Stitches above a black eye, fat lip with a nasty gash on the inside from my mouth from my teeth cutting into my lip and cheek, separated shoulder, bruised collar bone, bruised ribs, smashed set of prescription glasses and one hell of a headache.

So, all that's left me out of work for going on three weeks now. I've had some time to redesign some of the content type models and few other things on the site. Right now I'm learning php and working on the new events listing system before I implement the new design we started working on in secrecy a few months ago.


There have been some big changes over the last few months here. I'm really excited for things that are coming up with all that. I've completely dumped the previously developed event finder and I'm working on one that will be more easily integrated into the main site.


Generation Outdoors also moved to a new hosting company. We now have unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth (at a fraction of the cost!). I did however find one issue with the content management system. The maximum allowed file space a particular user id can occupy is 97 GB. I don't know what flicker allows before they start charging you to upload photos but something tells me it's much less than 97 gigabytes. (wink, wink, hint, hint) We also have slide show capabilities.


Once I upgrade the content management system the file space limit for a user id will no longer exist but really it took me two years and hundreds of photos and some rather large sized video files to get to that point. If you happen to find that you've reached that limit before the upgrade? Make another id!


So back to the events programming. Wee!
