As a result of review by friends and colleagues, and users of the site, I have made the below revisions over time to improve the functionality of the site

| Significant shadow chart calculation performance improvement from eg 1.05 secs down to 0.04 secs (a 96% reduction!) for the same input parameters. Now shows calculation time in summary notes. |

| Fixed a problem with drawchart which would fail to plot the intermediate sun positions if there were too many hours of daylight (querystring parameter list too long). |
S Mao |
| Fixed a bug where if sunset occurred after midnight (eg due to timezone setting vs location) then table would not start from sunrise, and would extend past sunset. Now adjusts to plot into following day where necessary and indicates it has done so. |

| Developed the counters page to show how many charts were plotted per month (eg. June was 743 shadow charts) - I was always logging this, just never auditing it. Growth has been pretty good, nearly 600% in a year! |
