Whats up?

So, what is up?
  1. I've "fixed" subscriptions so they actually expire.  The system will also send you a 15 day renewal reminder as well as an email when your subscription actually expires.  I haven't released this change quite yet because:
  2. I'm cleaning up the release process I use.  Right now a release consists of me updating the servers, patching the production database by hand and praying.  You might recall last month's four day outage.  Yeah.  This whole process needs to be a single command, especially now that I've got three servers that get updated.
  3. I'm doing some contact work.  Gotta pay the bills you know!
  4. Once I push out the subscription changes, I am going to make galleries work again.  After that, I'm update the way photographs are uploaded and stored.  I'd like to create a windows app like flickr has to make it really easy to upload images.
After that, I'm going to hunker down and work on my ultimate goal - letting you start your own photographica-like weblog.

You can use the comments to tell me how much of a slacker I am, how horrible of a job I'm doing, or maybe suggest some ideas or a compliment or two.  Something.  Anything.

PS: People have asked me about t-shirts. I'm still sitting on a pile of brown ones, so by all means, order one!.

    Cory, you are doing an amazing job. I tried out another photo site and they are much slower and more awkward to use than our site. You have done an excellent job - keep it up.

    You the man, seriously I can't thank you enough. How about an index of all people who have posted stories. Like the key word function except substitute member's names. That way a AH could come on the site and look up a person's photos, without the person being online at the moment. As an example I tell my friend to view my photos but they can't find me unless I just posted a story or I am online at that moment.

  • Hi, LIke the site a lot...i'm gathering your a person with some technical clout around these parts. I'm not sure if others are experiencing the same problem but I can't read any of my mail. Any suggestions?
