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.
