This site is an unofficial preview of an upcoming version of
my.strathspey. Feel free to look around and try things,
but be aware that the database is reset every morning at 5am
German time to a snapshot of the database of the real site
made earlier that night. So don't expect any changes made here
to stick around.
If you notice any problems, please let me know at

Send screen shots if you can (and if it makes sense). Thank you!
