    This past weekend we had one of the craziest Cars and Coffee in a while. The display lot was full by 6:45 and dozens of very show worthy automobiles had to be turned away. It was absolutely incredible how quickly cars were pouring into the show lot. There were also people everywhere! You had to be careful not to bump into someone, while gawking at the amazing machinery present, because it was so packed.

    It was a perfect combination of the Luxury For Play forum meet and us finally having a weekend with great weather in So Cal.

    There was really stuff for everyone's taste present at this weekends Cars and Coffee. Though as always there were people,(and manufacturers,) who drove in with their perfectly stock mall cars who thought they were extra special because they wax their car with Zaino. But what are you gonna do? It happens.

    Anyways, enough of my rambling. Let the pictures speak for themselves. Here is our pic of the 955 pics from this past weekend:

    looks like i am going to have to move hosts.

    the gallery keeps bumping into a 1024 files / folder limit and the hosts are less than accommodating so I need to find something industrial strength but affordable.

    Sorry.

    In an effort to solve the problems I have moved to a new server.

    Following the move I took the decision to re-size all existing images from their 'native' resolutions to 1600xnnnn and to drop the quality from 100% to 80%, this reduces the size of most images from 6-10MB to 3-600K - which is saving about 80GB of disk space and more importantly reducing the server load when displaying a re-sized image by several orders.

    This had an additional impact which was to change the cache/rebuild image serialization, breaking all existing links. Sort of. The knock-on of that was that an image that was referenced as (say) cncpics.com/d/1234656/cnc123.jpg not only no long exists, because of the changes it may give you a completely different image.

    So.......

    A second change is to make the logical location different - rather than /d/ it is /images/ and rather than /v/ it is /albums/ this change allowed me to use a fancy piece of scripting that reduces the database load when the old URLS are used for the images.

    In short all old links are now (sadly) broken, but at the expense of a much, much faster and more efficient site.

    If you want to see the pics from 3/13 - and the are bitching - head to cncpics.com and click on march then march 13th
