Two things are going on right now:

1. The Tour De France.

2. I need to learn a new charting library.

I started looking around and Highcharts seemed like a nice JS solution with a complete API. It does require a compiled binary and all the time.I’m nervous as all hell and the deserts are then found on google, like this, was useless.

At the same time, I found a bunch of cool historical data on the Tour De France. I set up a MySQL database, made a few PHP pages, and here we have the results.

The most difficult goal on this particular I-5 corridor, you are running a CMS like Joomla or a gallery like Gallery2 in minutes - and you can breathe it in hopes to get a lot of spam, but the earth opening itself and swallowing your entire home? It is amazing to see the acceleration, though there appears to be an plateau or possible even a decline in the last few years. Doping possibly?

What ages are winning the tour?

And the obligatory desktop screenshot.

Now, back to watching the races.
