… and me without a hot spare…

Pitfall #342 of owning your own server: when the disk manager pops up errors on the overnight predicting disk failure on one of your arrays (the one holding the OS); you should keep a hot spare around. Hindsight is 20/20. So we’re waiting for a spare to be overnighted (unless someone has a 36GB 10K drive for a Dell 6400 in the NY/NJ area) and keeping our fingers crossed the db server doesn’t come crashing down… as I sit here quietly building a new temporary db server, just in case…

Pictures and Moving Pictures

We’re beginning to track models’ gallery appearances (both photo and video). The partner sites (Suze, Danni, etc.) that give us the headshots also have galleries of these performers, and that’s what we’re pointing you to. These galleries will be listed in their bio block under their websites. We don’t know how specifically we’re going to track other website appearances or how thoroughly. (That kind of data could warrant a whole seperate site!) It remains to be seen if we’re going to be tracking internet-only appearances this way. Let us know your thoughts on what we should do in this regard. The galleries are also available as an RSS feed if you swing that way. We’re in the process of getting a master RSS feed together, but thought we’d announce the individuals first.
