Nicolaus Copernicus formulated the model of the universe that placed our sun, rather than the Earth at the centre of our solar system. In one moment, everything changed. But also, nothing changed.
I've just uploaded a massive update to our race listings. But hopefully nothing has changed.
I can already see few bits that look a bit wrong, but so far nothing has gone wildly, madly wrong. And there are a few bits that I've put live knowing full well that they'll need some attention, or are only partially done. But overall, I am hoping that things more or less work as they were.
Because I've only changed the race listings, it's tempting just to go for a look at the race finder, and look at a few listings and see if they look about the same. But there are a whole bunch of places that make use of this data in less obvious ways. For example, when you add, edit or view a blog or picture, it can be linked to a race listing. When you play UTMOST or look at benchmarks, race times are pulled in (alongside training data). There's a whole bunch of stuff in your race portfolio, and all the options to insert and update your predicted and actual times. Each listing has a whole load of edit functions, and the ability to copy to a new date, or to add a second distance. Some of the infographics use race listings. The monthly race guide grabs a list of stuff near you. Your user profile summarises your races and personal bests. There are notifications that point you at races you've just done to remind you to review. There are various analysis graphs and summaries that use your race performances to generate stats.
I'll be doing my bit to sanity check all of these different facets. But it would be great if you can be my eyes around the site over the next few days. If you see something that looks wrong, first of all, please don't worry - I have backups! But please report it - I'd much rather 10 people report something than no-one: fetcheveryone.com/feedback-contact.php
Once these changes have all been ironed in smoothly, I can get on with the big stack of feature requests that brought about the need for this change.

A couple of weeks ago, I was approached by a company that offers event entry tools for organisers. You know the sort - they handle the transaction when a runner enters a race, taking off a bit for themselves.
In terms of percentages, I guess they are pretty good - they take 3.8%+VAT of the entry fee. So if your race is £20 to enter, they take 91p. They are a relatively small company, with a half dozen employees. And they tell me that some companies can take in the region of 22% of the entry fee! It pays to shop around I guess.
Obviously, they weren't just ringing to check on my wellbeing.
They offered me the chance to add an 'Enter Now' button on some/all of the Fetch race listings. They'd track the amount of entries that this generated, and I would then get paid by the organisers who used their service.
On the face of it, this seems like a simple way for a free site like Fetcheveryone to make a bit of cash. I looked at the stats for my race listings - in particular the amount of clickthrough I generate to organiser websites. It's pretty hefty - typically between 30,000 - 40,000 clicks per month. Not all of those visitors are clicking to book - but in theory Fetch generates a lot of interest and support for these events. If only 1% are clicking to enter, and if I charged 50p for my part in it, that's an easy £150-£200 each month.
But I've always provided these listings and the subsequent traffic for free. And it doesn't sit right with me to charge for it.
My ethos has always been to support the running community, inviting people to donate if they feel I provide a good service. And I see the organisers of events - particularly grass roots events - as being an important part of this community. By effectively taking a cut, I would either be pushing price increases onto runners, or cutting the margins of organisers. I feel as though the cost of organising (and entering) events has increased significantly since I first started Fetcheveryone - so my feeling is that I'd prefer not to be a part of any upward pressure.
That's it really. Have a good one.

Wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. *But* if I could enter via FE and have a "booking fee" that I knew was going to the site, I would definitely choose to enter via here rather than direct with the organiser and don't think I would worry too much about the price of race entries. That said, I'd rather you keep your morals!!larkim10:50am, 2nd Oct 2024

Nice!!Mark J 🇳🇿10:51am, 2nd Oct 2024

If you'd decided to go with it, I'd have looked to see if there was a click-through button on Fetch before entering races through another platform since presumably the fee is going to be applied anyway. And I think being able to enter online is fantastic and don't mind paying the surcharge any more than I used to mind putting a SAE in with my postal entry less than 20 years ago.Velociraptor
I've never come across a surcharge quite as high as 22% but can see how it could happen if there's a minimum fee and the race is an inexpensive local 5k.11:04am, 2nd Oct 2024 -
The notional fee payable to me would be on top of that which the payment site charges. So in my example, entrant pays £20, entry platform takes 91p, Fetch takes 50p - organiser is left with less.fetcheveryone11:07am, 2nd Oct 2024

I can see why a man of your calibre would choke on that. Good decision. I wonder how many instances there now are of two bites being taken out of the fee like that.Velociraptor11:09am, 2nd Oct 2024

Good decision. On the same subject, in the past I've come across race listings on here where the link to enter is to a third party site, rather than the original race organiser's page. I would then update the 'enter' link with the correct URL.Sigh1:07pm, 2nd Oct 2024

You could have offered two buttons, one where some of the fee would go to you, and one where it didn't (equally prominent) and let people choose. Then at least it would be completely transparent. I can see that leaving the organiser with less overall wouldn't sit well though.Grast_girl2:19pm, 2nd Oct 2024

An interesting one. I applaud what you have decided but agree if you could make it very transparent perhaps as Grast_girl suggests might it be worth looking at? I listed an event on here recently that I organised - I know that at least one of the fairly small number of people who took part did so purely because of the listing here. As a grass roots event the entry fee was £8 or £10 if unattached. The shorter race was £5 & £7. As part of the entry fee runners got a voucher to spend in the pub afterwards of either £3 or £2. I used a small online entry company (who knows maybe the same one). They took 50p per entrant but the entrant paid that rather than the organiser (there was a choice that I could asborb the cost, pass it on to the entrant or split it 50/50.) For 50p on a very reasonable cost and you get at least £2 back at the end I passed it on and this was clear to entrants before signing up. I wonder if there is a way they could make it like justgiving etc where when the person enters they get the option how much they also give to justgiving so that if people choose to they can add a bit more that you get?BaronessBL10:20pm, 2nd Oct 2024

At the end of the day you've got to be happy with the decision as well as paying your bills. I don't enter enough races for this to bother me either way............and their percentage could always rise later I suppose.bigleggy7:26am, 3rd Oct 2024

*emerges from the coding room, covered in soot*
I've been working on the update to the race listing architecture pretty much continuously since I blogged about it a week ago. It's a hefty project by my standards
I wanted to try to explain what I've been doing - if only so I can think it all through. If you haven't read my previous blog, it'd be best if you have a quick squizz at that before continuing with this one. I'll be asking questions later
The first job was to build a new database structure that will be capable of holding all the existing race listings (and the times, notes, reviews etc that you record for each race you've done). (@shyfire - it's still a relly D )
Then I built a piece of code that would copy all the existing data into the new structure. So now I have two copies of the data - the old existing version, and the new version. The new version needs re-making every so often, because every time you folks update something in the old version, the new version becomes slightly more out of date. It's not too big of a problem though, I just run the code that generates the new version every so often.
Next step was to amend the chunk of code through which everything relating to race listings passes. You can think of it as a back office. All the pages you view on the site will phone up this back office, and say "can we have all of Diogenes' 10k times please?", or "can you get me all the ultra marathons within 50 miles of Shitterton please?", or "change the name of the Big Northern Run to the Little Southern Walk please" and the back office goes and rummages round the database and does what's been asked of it.
It was 2584 lines of code, but the updated version has just 1935 lines. I would attribute most of this reduction to the new database structure. It's amazing how many workarounds and ugly bits of code you have to write to make something fit into an ugly database structure.
So now I have a parallel set of data in the new format, and a parallel way of speaking to it.
There are 79 different pages on the site that talk to the race listings back office. There are 21 other back offices that also ring it up from time to time (e.g. the blogs allow you to connect your blog to a race listing). There are also 8 scheduled tasks that run every week that talk to the back office (like updating our parkrun list). And a further 9 'guide books' - full of commonly-requested or complex information that the back office publishes periodically to avoid getting overwhelmed.
I've basically split these into "stuff that makes the data change", and "stuff that just asks to see the data". I've started migrating the latter across to use the new system; and will then try to do the former in one big chunk.
So at some point this week, things may get a little hairy. But please don't worry if all your data disappears for a short while - it's all backed up safely
Right then, pass me that spanner. No, the big one - I need to hit something with it.

Every year in October we hold a virtual race to remember all the Fetchies who are no longer with us. This year we lost Swittle, and Oscar the Grouch - both long-term and lovely members of the Fetch community.
The Doctor K Cup is a 5k challenge - the goal is to predict your 5k time, and then go run/walk the distance *without* looking at your watch. It's ok to use your watch to tell you your distance, but you must use a screen that doesn't show your time. Or you can just turn up at a parkrun.
The person who is closest to their prediction wins a trophy.
Doctor K was a big fan of parkrun, so we always host the challenge on a Saturday morning. But you don't have to go to a parkrun to complete your 5k, nor do you have to curtail your run at 5k. Our benchmark system will pull your fastest 5k out of any run you do on the day.
It would be great to see everyone getting involved. Please leave a comment or upvote this blog to help make sure it reaches the blog highlights. Thank you.

There are at least 21 feature requests that relate to our race listings. In particular, can I please expand them to incorporate things like back yard ultras, orienteering, adventure races, swimruns, timed races for biking and swimming, races with no fixed time or distance, relays, multi-stage events, field events, course bests, extra information such as number of competitors, participation as a volunteer or supporter...
The answer is yes. But it's a huge project.
Building a database is easy-peasy - you just make a table called 'users', and another one called 'events', and another one that maps users to events - let's call that one 'user_events'. In this user_events table, you can store the times that people achieve. Simple.
Except perhaps that some races are measured in kilometres, and some are measured in miles. But that's ok, you can work around it. It's just about remembering to multiply or divide by 1.609344 at the relevant time.
Then the swimmers and bikers take notice and want a piece of the action. Ok, that's an easy one - you can just add an extra field to your events table, and indicate whether your events are runs, swims or bikes. They're all the same really
Do that for a couple of years, and then you run into a <strike>platypus</strike> triathlete. They tell you that they need to store more than just one time for each event. They want to store five individual times (swim, t1, bike, t2, run). And then a duathlete pops up. They want five times as well, but this time it's (run1, t1, bike, t2, run2).
Now things get more complex. The 'user_events' table used to have one row for each user at each event. Do you add more columns, to store triathlons and duathlons? By this time, you've also discovered aquabikes, aquathlons, and fixed-time events - so it's getting kind of messy. Maybe you create a few different 'user_events' tables, each one suited to storing the info for that particular type of event. And don't forget that your original 'events' table needs to be capable of storing all these different event types.
Then it turns out that at fixed-time events, particularly longer ones, people don't always manage to compete for the whole time. So they need to enter a time AND a distance when recording it in their portfolio. And then a whole flood of other requests for this sort of thing come in - and you realise that designing a database ISN'T easy, because the needs of your users sometimes (ok, almost always) evolve beyond the capabilities of the system you've created.
Now go back and read that first paragraph
So you have to start again. Except now you have nearly a million events in your database; and all the people who have logged times. You've got dozens of league tables, games and site features that make use of your system as it stands.
And that's where I am today By my reckoning, there are well over a hundred pages on the site that view, maintain or otherwise make use of the data in our database of races and race performances. My goal over the next couple of weeks is to build a new storage system for this data, and then to adapt all these pages to make use of the new system.
Exciting!

They want to store five individual times (swim, t1, bike, t2, run). And then a duathlete pops up. They want five times as well, but this time it's (run1, t1, bike, t2, run2).
Now things get more complex. The 'user_events' table used to have one row for each user at each event. Do you add more columns, to store triathlons and duathlons? By this time, you've also discovered aquabikes, aquathlons, and fixed-time events - so it's getting kind of messy. Maybe you create a few different 'user_events' tables, each one suited to storing the info for that particular type of event. And don't forget that your original 'events' table needs to be capable of storing all these different event types.
Then it turns out that at fixed-time events, particularly longer ones, people don't always manage to compete for the whole time. So they need to enter a time AND a distance when recording it in their portfolio. And then a whole flood of other requests for this sort of thing come in - and you realise that designing a database ISN'T easy, because the needs of your users sometimes (ok, almost always) evolve beyond the capabilities of the system you've created.
Now go back and read that first paragraph
So you have to start again. Except now you have nearly a million events in your database; and all the people who have logged times. You've got dozens of league tables, games and site features that make use of your system as it stands.
And that's where I am today
By my reckoning, there are well over a hundred pages on the site that view, maintain or otherwise make use of the data in our database of races and race performances. My goal over the next couple of weeks is to build a new storage system for this data, and then to adapt all these pages to make use of the new system. Exciting!

In totally unrelated news, I have 17 spare tea towels. Some of the folks on it decided against ordering one, plus I rounded up the order slightly. I realise that these are not so much of a draw if you're NOT on it - so if you're not on it OR you've already bought one, I'll sell them for £8. If you'd like one, please put an order in here: fetcheveryone.com/shop-preorder-teatowel.php (and ignore the pricing on the page).
--
And the boy appears to be settling in nicely. He says his flat mates are great, the nights out have been fun, and he seems to have enjoyed the few lectures he's had. I keep seeing his 'last logged in' on WhatsApp at 4 and 5 in the morning
Oh, and he's signed up to the American Football squad and the darts team. Hedging his bets

I'm very glad I don't have the ability to develop the system I maintain. I get many random requests (mainly from the same person) asking for a pink moon on a retractable stick to which the answer is always, sorry, computer says no. (P.S. I wonder if platypus works?)Diogenes10:53am, 24th Sep 2024

This is why I love ORM's (Object-relational mapping - I use Entity Framework for my projects). You design the models (entities) using code first, making use of all the language features like inheritance, collections, enums, etc and let the ORM figure out how that maps into a database. To be fair, it's never that simple, you always have to configure each entity for the ORM, but it does make your code a lot cleaner.Blister4:17pm, 24th Sep 2024

I've been trying to work out how much sleep I've had since I woke up in Jamaica on Thursday morning. I had written out a long blog detailing the timeline, but I quickly realised that it was very boring. In summary, I had one period where I was awake for 35 hours; and my sleeping patterns are still shot to pieces (fell asleep at 9pm last night, awake from 11pm until gone 3am).
Overall, I reckon I've had 34 hours of sleep in 119 elapsed hours. That's 29%, which doesn't sound too bad really - but it's the irregularity that's hard to take. In this time, I've also driven 350 miles, been driven 50 miles, flown 4500 miles, taken The Boy to university and done a day's work. Oh, and run 7.5 miles
If you work shifts, or have trouble with insomnia, or haven't been on holiday, you're probably yelling at me to get on with it. Fair enough
I promised a bit of info on our delivery of The Boy.
Here's his dog trying to pack herself:
and here he is in his very fancy room, drinking one of the free drinks that they were handing out to freshers. Look at that little pinky - you can tell he's been brought up right.
He's on the 5th floor of a very nice block of flats, very close to Bramall Lane football ground - he has bought himself a ticket to watch Sheffield United play Portsmouth in a couple of weeks. The flat has five bedrooms, initially with 3 girls and 2 lads - but one of the girls went home again the following morning :-/
We helped him get his stuff into his room, and got him sorted. His mum and I went to the local Aldi to pick up some shopping for him. It was rammed full of students and parents. They were sold out of fish fingers. And while we were doing that, he'd managed to leave his keycard in his room, so a very patient member of staff came up and let us all in again.
The inevitable goodbye brought tears from his mum and me. But as we walked away, he was banging on the window to get our attention, as his mum had walked off with his phone. And on the journey home, he messaged to say he'd forgotten the power cable for his X-Box. *emoji with tired rolling eyes*
I woke up to this picture of his kitchen, and reports of a good night out with his new flat mates. I think he'll be ok. Although he locked himself out again.

I had a second year house share with soemone who'd never cooked anything, except maybe toast. He didn't know things like beans needed a stir every now and again. (Thinks 70 old electric hob things).

Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play.
They’ve been going in and out of style,
But they’re guaranteed to raise a smile.
It’s still yesterday here, but in the UK it’s the 20th anniversary of Fetch! I use the date of my first ever race as the official date - as I guess this was when I first recorded a time, first uploaded running pictures, and first thought that this could happen.
And here we are, 20 years later, with so much power to add. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far - too many to mention.
By pure coincidence, the anniversary coincides with our family holiday - so I hope you don’t mind, but I’m putting my feet up this week and toasting you all from a lounger with a can of Red Stripe and a lovely view (with my hairy hot dogs in the way)
And if you wanted to help me ensure that Fetch is here for another 20 years, it’d be great if you’d check out our celebration 20th anniversary Fetch kit:
