Pic hosting.... if you need it, there's more than one...

[Paulson]

lol... I hate to sound like I'm depressed because my server hasn't got any use, but it's true...

the free hosting pic service is there for a reason, so go ahead and use it people!

it's a shame to see it go un-noticed...

I know my server's been having some problems in the past, but fortunately I worked them out, and it's all looking good

(I don't make any money off the site either, it's a public service to anandtech, and I'd like for it to get it's proper use out of, which is why I made this post)

Thank you...

 

[krystalogik]

sorry, paulson. I'd join, but i have my own server...

eh, what the hell
*goes and signs up*

w0ot!

 

[Paulson]

Well that'd be beside the point but lol

oh well...

I have a domain and server w/lots of space not doing anything... I'd like to put both of them to some use now that I actually have a decent setup running outta my home...

 

[krystalogik]

BTW, who did the original coding for Pics?

 

[Paulson]

yllus...

currently there are 2 versions I do believe...

pics.bbzzdd.com & mine...

 

[krystalogik]

gave you a ten for doing a great service to the AT community!

woulda given yllus one too, but ratings arent enabled or him.

 

[Paulson]

thanks...

I didn't even know I had voting enabled... hmmmm

anyways...

if you sign up within the next few days, PM me with a user name and password and I'll give you webspace to do whatever you want also.... (actually you can do that anytime)

 

[krystalogik]

heh thanks, but im livin it large over at www.krystalogik.net.
Thanks though!

BTW, your rating sucks...

 

[Paulson]

I just meant in general

I see you got a nice site already...

and yes, my rating sucks... when you used to be a nef people still see you as one all the time...

 

[krystalogik]

no one likes this thread either....

 

[broon]

Sorry. I just had to break up this two person conversation. Thanks Paul.

 

[Lars]

What software do you use for that service?

 

[Paulson]

well, yllus developed the service...

I host it and run if off of my linux server... basically it runs off of apache and cgi... also an email server...

It's nice to host something if you have the space...

Thanks for the information. Do you know how many GB transfer you burn each month?

 

[Paulson]

I don't really have anything to monitor how many gigs are going out each month...

then again my hosting service isn't anything really popular yet anyways, so I'm sure it's nowhere near pics.bbzzdd.com...

 

[Lars]

Too bad, that would have been interesting. I was thinking of offering a similar service for my members but I only have a limited amount of space and transfer (2GB, 75GB) to do this.

 

[Paulson]

hmmmm, well if there were some administration type programs for linux (maybe web based) I'd be very interested

 

[DAPUNISHER]

ttt

 

[amdskip]

Hey, just wondering what kinda of internet connection are you using to host this and whats it rated at?

 

[javeed]

Paulson,

Try webmin.

 

[Blain]

FREE space! How can I resist? I need a Pic Posting site anyway.
I'm assuming that pics can be "linked" using your service, unlike Geocities?

 

[Platinum]

How about adding the feature of having thumbnail pics next to the link.

 

[Paulson]

amdskip: wireless... and it's only at 256kb... but when it's finally showing that it can get use more than "ever now and then" then I'm going to get a faster connection for it...

javeed: awesome getting it now

blaine: yes, you can link to it, I'd just appreciate it if you used it for anandtech for the most part... (not like I'd know anyways but oh well )

platinum: maybe, I'll talk to yllus about it...

only problem with this is that the pic needs to be resized. I am sure it can be down under linux using gimp.

 

[Paulson]

How do you think it could be done?

gimp can be used to generate images on the fly? hmmmmm

I've got a new toy to play with tonight
