Race 1:Completion
I completed my first race around 8pm on Friday. I just have to deploy the site now to one of my servers and get started writing the reviews. In the end I built the site on rails since I’ve been doing a lot of work in PHP lately and wanted a change.
From start to finish I probably spent about 8 hours on the site which I think is pretty good. The site is nothing complex but the admin panel allows me to add t-shirts very quickly by automatically fetching images from the web and creating the thumbnails using RMagick.
I also built a basic click tracking system into it that I can extend with proper reports as time permits and traffic requires.
