Racing on Rails

I rolled out a new version of the website this afternoon (something I affectionately call revision 153). This release boast a new feature (but it's a biggy), some bug fixes and a regression.

There is a now a "My Calendar" feature for logged in users. This feature allows you to create a personal event calendar and then subscribe to it via ical. Here's how it works: once you are logged in, any event that you view will have a green "add this to my calendar" button just below the event map on the right hand side. Click this and the event is added to your calendar. Clicking the greyed out button again removes it from your calendar.

To view your entire personal calendar at any time, simply click the "MyCalendar" button on the right side of the header bar (next to "Log Out"). This page will also show the URL for your ical feed. And yes, a RSS/Atom feed is also coming.

I've changed the look of the website by removing the dark background. This was causing some problems with a few browsers and I don't have time to fully troubleshoot it. It'll be back -- as soon as I can find a good designer that works cheap.
