-Wishful thinking? Hey it can't hurt ...right? I took out a 35k loan to do this baby so I'm a bit scared of the pinch it will put on our budget.I can't wait to get some time to play with the video uploads. I think that will add a whole new dynamic to the site. It should make things very interesting here.
At any rate, I'm pumped. Lots and lots of good changes are going to be coming our way here on the site now. The new server was just the first step in my "master plan." Now that I have a 100% identical test-bed, I can code freely without fear of things working in 1 place but not the other.
Replication is a breeze, backups are also very nice (and will soon be automated I might add). Yes all good things. Oh and did I mention NO MORE SPAMMERS on our server. With a shared host you always run the risk of some idiot deciding to suck all the system resources to send his spam mail out. This solves that issue since I control 100% of the system resources now. Yes I am greedy, but we likes it that way my preciousssss!
So to say I'm excited is an understatement. You guys haven't seen anything yet. Give me a few more months to slowly put my pieces into place and this will be a very exciting website. -You might not think that's possible since it's so exciting already
but I think you'll agree with me once you see the changes, that it will be even better!Statistics: Posted by Chris — Mon Nov 13, 2006 11:51 am

I was having trouble last night with image corruption, but this has cleared up today. It was probably ISP trouble since the downloads kept halting mid-send last night. I have dozens of photos to send and add descriptions to in order to update my Solar Power Project folder.

A 2mb .jpg will come out to be about 100k this way, and gifs will be like 500k I think. I will probably tweak the gif algorithms more as I test, but that's why I have this code. I don't want to make you guys go through the pain in the ass process of reducing master pics just to upload them here.
I never do. I just upload my master copies and let the website handle the rest. I did it to keep it easy that way for you guys

The load time is so much faster. But as you know all the posters need to start now. It will save space, increase speed, and reduce the load on the server. Job Well done..

Please let me know how it works for you. I have upped the file limits now and will be implementing new video upload procedures soon. Working on them on my test system now.
You can also upload larger .gifs now
woohoo! You could send gifs before but they had to be very small. Now my conversion routine chops them down to size just like .jpg's.I'll be curious to see if you think that uploads are faster now as well. So keep me posted please guys! -I'm anxious to hear how I did with the v1.43 PM update.
