I sat down at 2:55 (TX time) it was supposed to go on sale at 3:00 (TX time) and by 3:15 I knew I was was sold out. I really prefer this server opposed to other servers out there at least I didnt waste 8 hours or 3 days trying to get a print and not get it.
mad props to her web guru guy.

For curiosity's sake, how many were put on sale today?soma wrote:this is basically exactly what happened.sabotage wrote:I don't. There were probably ten times that amount trying for this worldwide. If their server could accommodate 150 sales in 20 seconds then I bet they sold 150 prints in 20 seconds.etched wrote:how did this go so quick, doubt the 150 went in 20 secs wtf
the shopping cart worked perfectly this time, but the server crashed for having too many hits at the same moment (even though we warned the host this was coming up and they said it was no problem). we will be getting a dedicated server before the next sale.
sorry for those of you who didn't make it.
130 prints were put on sale yesterday with the remaining 20 being promised to a few galleries. there are 15 APs in this edition that all belong to audrey.
