I feel naked without my Zooomr
Posted by briandh on May 30, 2007
Things are looking a little bare around here at the moment – no photos.
Zooomr, where all my photos are hosted is currently down. They have not been having a very good time of it. It’s a bit like one of those good-news-bad-news stories:
- They tried to launch their “Mark III” version of the site several weeks ago …
- … and discovered they had seriously under-estimated the scale of the task so had to abandon it.
- They then had a hard disk cough blood on them …
- … and then nursed it back to health
- They tried another launch a little over a week ago …
- .. and it took longer than anticipate.
- But they stuck with it and they got the site up yesterday …
- … and their server crashed after 10 minutes.
I’ll not go into details here as you will find it being blogged about all over the place:
To anyone that says: “Oh, snivel snivel, I’ve lost all my photos – what have they DONE!” two things:
- Backups – they have them even if your too stupid to have made your own.
- It’s a free service on the Internet run by two guys on a shoe-string – see 1. above.
I truly hope it works out for them. It’s a fun site and the features promised in Mark III looked excellent.
Good luck guys.
