365 Mugshots!?

Wow.   365 Mugshots.  I can't believe it!  I guess in a way that makes today DMS's 1st birthday.  (Not that my consistency is 100% :p )  To everyone involved, thank you so much.  And to the awesome DMSers out there, thank you so much.  Getting to work on this project is a blessing.

Cloudfront

Switching us over to Amazon's Cloudfront CDN.  Insanely easy.  Took under an hour, and that included eating some quinoa.  The site's been a bit slow the last few days and I'm not sure why yet, but I think it might have had something to do with S3, so lets see if Cloudfront helps.

Speeding up Browse and iPhone App

Hey DMSers,

Spent most of today (Sunday) working on optimizing the browsing page.  It loads about 11 times faster now. :)

Also, the new iPhone update came out today!  So make sure to upgrade.  This fixes an important bug that caused connection issues with 1.0.

Upgrading Server

Hey DMSers,

I'm going to be upgrading the system today, adding a bit more memory to account for all of the new users.  We will be seeing some downtime, but it should be very little.

Voting is taking a TIME OUT

Due to the awesome influx of new users, we need to work on a more reasonable way to vote for Mug Of The Day.

Thusly, for now after mugshots users will be taken directly to the Gallery.  If you still want to vote, feel free to do so!  It can be found in the main nav on the left under Mug O The Day.

DMS is Big in Brazil

No idea how this happened, but we got some video news footage in Brazil!

(warning: in Portuguese): Watch the Video!
