Website interface

I've been thinking abput HotSync etc and I had an idea. At the moment the Bike or Die website interface is describable as clunky at best. WebSync is good, but the whole system is just a bit out of date.

I propose that the game stores all of your recent recordings in one file, as well as seperately. Then, you can just upload the one file and all of your recordings go on the website. This system could be expanded quite easily. From here you can send a PM from your Palm by typing in the name and message and next time you sync it will update. This could be taken to the next level, where it chucks back a file containing all of your up to date PMs, and maybe even recent forum posts.

I personally like the intuitive 1:1 ratio of recordings to recording files.
Either way, the JavaSync / WebSync still works well.
BTW, PMs < email.

yeah, i thought about changing the 1:1 paradigm when implementing the card support but i decided this could be too disruptive...
however your idea of having a separate "transmission" file is better - such file would be independent from any other files so it won't break anything!

transferring data TO palm is another issue, first of all i don't know how to do it correctly (i never programmed any hotsync conduit...) i would prefer implementing the direct network connection instead
