Nutcracker; Updated gallery.

[smeighan]

I need to periodically run a program to scan all the animated gifs and load them into the database.

It has been almost two weeks since i ran that program. So here is the new totals

Gallery of Effects by all users of Nutcracker. 9306 User Effects gathered on 2012-12-03 16:59:24

this is over a 1000 new effects in about 10 days.

so go and enjoy the gallery.

thanks

Sean,
Is there a way to see the animated gifs on a local install. Currently unless I generate the effect, I don't see the animated gif.

One of the downsides of a local install is the inability to see these.  It would be nice to have a utility that would "walk" through the database, check to see if the GIF is local, and if not, retrieve it from meighan.net.  In a similar fashon, also allow retrieval of jpg, and pictures required for generation of an effect that was copied from another user. 
Sean, do you have to pay for bandwidth, and storage?  If you pay for bandwidth, perhaps consider a "Premium" option for contributors to your beer fund.

Bandwidth is not an issue. I am at 1% of my allocation.

My only issue is disk space.

When I setup meighan.net 14 years ago I had 10gigs.  I used < 2 gigs all these years. When I started writing nutcracker, I raised limit to 25gigs. The next jump is to 50 gigs.

I just may have to pay for the next level to get thru Xmas.

As far as a program to build gifs on local installs, yeah it is on my todo list.
