in other words, you have NO idea what the fvck you're doing, right?

Precisely!

Good news update...

I have the image transformation server running. It's not actually serving images at the moment because I want to see how it handles the load of the live site. From what I see right now it's looks to be doing just fine. When I say running I mean it's doing everything but transforming the images. It's running and spitting out to me all the requests it gets. Once it's run for an hour or so without any major problems I'll start to have it do the actual transformations.

I'm just trying to do it a layer at a time so I don't end up with too many problems to solve all at once.

We're looking at 2-3 hours before it's running as it should assuming no major issues crop up.

Thanks for hanging in there. This image server is going to be a real powerhouse for us but I'll leave discussion of that till it actually does something.

We do all get a lot of 'back room' effort for our membership fees don't we?

Thanks for all the hard work.

It's steady improving. The core run solid would leaks serious issues. I should have image bit running early tomorrow sell we'll see hoe it does.
