Pic2go Barcodes -
Some of you will have noticed that we had these galleries online considerably quicker than usual - for example Alice Holt was live on Saturday (same day), Firle and Falmer Tri were live on Sunday (same day) and Bacchus went live at 2:45pm Monday - when it would have been the first event live on sunday evening, and then the other three being made live late monday and tuesday lunchtime.
The technology is expensive, but it does give us the time advantage of getting the pictures and galleries online to you faster than ever before - so I hope you are enjoying seeing galleries on the Monday as opposed to Tuesday and even Wednesday.
If you have any questions or can think of any innovative uses for the technology, (make race numbers smaller ?) then please get in touch, we have a facebook page and twitter feed for the technology -
www.facebook.com/Pic2GoUK and
https://twitter.com/Pic2GoUK if you want to follow those too that would be great !
Future races with Pic2Go barcodes
We are still a little behind with getting in touch with future events to get them on there, so my apologies to all the race directors who are organising labels onto race numbers instead of getting them printed in the first place - but thank you ever so much for sorting it out. If you are a race director and reading this - and thinking - eh? he hasn't got in touch yet !, please do get in touch - your timelines might not be the same as ours and yours are more important - so please give me a ring.
A slight downside of the barcodes is we don't necessarily see all the completely strange and dodgy images for the blog that I might otherwise try to use (before I get moderated by the boss) - so you heard it here first - if you want to avoid being spotted in your moment of fame (some do), make sure your pic2go barcode ( "pictag" if you like) can be seen clearly, and we will probably wizz past you in the rush.
Basically this means most of my comedy material will come from anyone with a tri-belt (frankly if you use them you are deserving of this), because THEY DON'T WORK to hold your number so it is visible to the front, anyone in fancy dress (you were asking for it anyway), and people with particularly flappy hands (Magnus Pike, T-Rex) or anyone who can't use four pins, or event clips to secure their number properly.
Don't say I didn't give you a fair warning...
