Speed & Servers Baby...

You might have noticed a lot of downtime yesterday.  I did some upgrades to the operating system on both the database server and the web server.  Since it is about a 30 minute walk to the colo facility and I don't care for late-night emergencies, I did some pretty extensive testing before I left.  Sorry about the downtime, but I hope some of the changes will speed things up.

I'm eying some old-sk00l servers on craigslist like this one: 1U Rackable Systems Server P3 700 MHz - $100.  I'm gonna see that guy in about an hour - maybe we'll get a new image server by the end of this weekend?

I'd like to get the PowerEdge on the top of this page as it would solve pretty much all photographica's problems for about a year, but right now I lack the cool $1000 to buy it.

    I didn't even notice the down time, although I was gone all afternoon. You have a fantabulous site here and I thank you for all the effort you're putting into this.

    Thank you Cory!! How many members are there? If we each chipped in a couple of dollars, would we have it?

    Lidljo is right...let's get Cory what he needs. With all the members here it should be easy. Where do we send the cash?

    Cory you are just so great, I've been off all day but the idea of everyone giving a buck sounds like a great idea to keep things running smooth..hey I know its hard to ask for money..uncool...but this is the real world and we are all enjoying the site.

    Maybe if the non-members became members, it would help also? Keep us updated on any ways that we can help!
