Cameo Update
Friday, Sep 08, 2000
Ammy, the fourth camera to come back from the August drop, arrived last Saturday and was immediately sent in for developing and scanning! It came back from the developer today, and I'm very excited to put the pictures up, along with those from Emily and Rick, which came back earlier.

Part of the reason I had been holding back the last week is that the heavy traffic from AOLiza press was taxing the servers, and that's all small text stuff. Putting up quality JPEG pictures would quickly max out the bandwidth I have available.

The good news was that traffic was starting to die down to the point where I could put this content up. The bad news (or other good news) is that AOLiza will be getting another major press boot some time next week.

So what does this all mean? Well, I have another server, one without traffic limits (at least in the short term) and with an ethernet connection ot a T-3 backbone, which should provide all the connectivity I need at present, and I'm setting it up with content, so hopefully I can put the cameo pictures up.

As before, if you're not a frequent visitor to the site and you'd like an email sent when the camera's pictures go up, enter your email address in the form on the Cameo Home Page and I'll let you know when it's done.

Finally, the fifth camera (out of ten sent out!) came back on Wednesday. Josh went in for developing and scanning yesterday, and I expect to have the photos back around Tuesday or Wednesday next week. I'm actually surprised to have gotten half of the cameras back, especially since it's completely possible that more are on the way! This is all very cool.
