Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Right now quotes are added and edited through straight SQL. There's no programmatic interface for it, and as such the process is very inefficient (send quote to Hec who formats them and sends them to me).

Instead of an interface where people can add quote that are then approved by admins, who can also correct existing quotes.

Gah. We talk a lot.

I talk a lot.

Anyway, we're currently okay with monthly bandwidth, but we're eating diskspace like nobody's business. We've been live almost 2 months and we're 44% through our HD storage.

We can upgrade as far as 550MB (we're currently at 154 of 350). But that's more money. And then what?

It's late, and I'm out of bright ideas.

What's the size of each 10k thread?

How comes the archiving notion?


John H - Nov 08, 2002 11:28:57 pm PST #1304 of 10000

What's taking up the bulk of the storage?

And, how much money? We're OK for money this year aren't we?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jesse said we were sitting on surplus.

Well, threads are being archived here, so that doesn't save much space.

Hmm. Further investigation shows we have only 32MB of tables.

And by only I mean "only", since we're babies yet.

I have to request telnet access so I can du the subdirectories. And I have to check if e-mail stored on the server counts to that total.

Oh, and in October we had a bandwidth of 17.6 of 20GB allowed. So that's okay. Although the 2nd and the 25th were very low. If we redo the numbers with them at average bandwidth (.6GB), that brings us up to 19.6GB/month. Which is pretty close to the wire.
