Updates and changes

I've been updating recently with some really cool enhancements to the back-end. This is more technical stuff + so you might want to read on only if you're a geek.

only stores info with MySQL now. All the stats go into a MySQL table that had an initial size of over 360,000 + records after the import of the existing flat file database. This means that while querying can be slower (things aren't split up + like they were with the flatfile DB) it's a more portable programming technique and it means it can be easily expanded in the + future to include more data. The table's indexed so it should be decently fast.

In addition, smarter functionality is being included, plus a few bugs here and there have been fixed.
