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 not support the video tag.

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 blog’s front page. 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 way to start writing a memoir of my own music client: Gelly which 99.9% of users would never touch, I decided to place the script with no negative impact on the images for a bit.

Now, back to watching the races.
