Big news guys!!
So I've been out of the game for a while... I've been putting this off for a while but had some motivation today
If any of you use
Copy.com, you will already know about the service shutting down and having to migrate all of your files. Well, I have now migrated everything to Google Drive. This will allow you guys to "Add to Drive" the archive if you have a Google Account (as most of you probably will). This also meant that I had to modify the site to get it working with a different service. What I ended up doing is periodically cloning the archive onto my VPS so the site will have a local copy of all the files.
What does this mean for you guys?
Expect less latency for the initial image load but the lack of thumbnails (if demand wants it, I can try to find a solution), will make loading the images take longer as they will use the actual image.
I also added some more colourful naming schemes to every image, trying to name them all manually was a hassle as every single one could be called "mugi.jpg". Hopefully you guys like these more than randomstringofints.jpg
The gallery is still at:
http://mugi.galleryThe archive is now at:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bypu0puuOLwpNGd4ZmRKVTJtNEk&usp=sharing (this is a little restrictive as it only shows the first 500 items but if you add it to your Drive, I assume you get all 2000+)
If you feel you would like to help expand the Archive, please email
[email protected] so I can give you edit permissions. If anyone feels the need to use the JSON API for the gallery, email me as well so I can give you directions on how to use it
