Maintenance
squashdevil.com has moved
20-May-09 08:25 Filed in: General
Two days ago squashdevil.com ran out of disk space when uploading the last video files from the Finnish Squash Championships. Yesterday site was moved from Louhi to Servage and disk space was upgraded from 2 GB to over 800 GB. Data transfer rates seems to be on par with previous service provider both for uploading (site maintenance) and downloading (for you to read blog and view photos or videos). This should enable higher resolution videos in the future. Feedback form has been removed as it appears that it was not working properly. Maintenance team has not forgotten that photo pages need to be fixed.
Movies pages updated

Movies page has gone through a major update and it been renamed as Videos. New structure should easily cope with several video clips from one event. This was essential as the number of squash related videos is expected to increase rapidly in the future. The proverb says “a picture is worth more than 1000 words”. Should we update the proverb saying “a video is worth more than 1000 pictures”?
By the way, this maintenance work was caused by moving iPhoto library from laptop’s hard drive to an external hard drive in order to get more space. Naturally, the root cause is too small hard drive. Or perhaps it is lack of money as laptop’s 64 GB solid state disk cost a year ago more than 800 Euros.

Good news: The number of photos and videos has been increasing in squashdevil.com.
Bad news: Many photo albums and several videos have disappeared from squashdevil.com. This has happened during the lastest upgrade of the web building tool (RapidWeaver) or the hard drive maintenance a couple of days earlier. It seems that the photos and videos have not been lost, but the location of files has changed and therefore the links are not valid anymore.
Good news: This is now an opportunity to improve the layout of the photo and video pages. Previous layout started to be outdated anyway.
