Code Genocide

I am working on iSteamy v2, and I have a question for all of you…

Do you like, use, hate, or not care about the number that says how many items are in an individual category?

(you know that number before the category name)

I am debating getting rid of it, but if people like it and use it, then I will keep it, but if you hate it or don’t care then I might get rid of it to better the design.

Please let me know

I thought I would drop a note saying that iSteamy version 2 is under development.

I don’t have a release date yet, but I would like to get any suggestions people have.

If you have a feature that you would like to see in version 2, please leave it in the comments.

The server is up and this site is running on the new server!

iSteamy is in the progress of transferring over to the new server. (it’s currently transferring all the movies…)

I will keep you updated.

*UPDATE*

It is 2:30am here, and according to my calculations there 2,556 images left to transfer and then the audio.

As it looks like it will still be a while I am going to get some sleep and I will hopefully (if all goes well while asleep) make the final transfer of iSteamy to the new server in the morning.

We got the new server!

I am setting it up as we speak.

Just thought I would let everyone know that I recieved confirmation this morning that the dedicated server would be up and running in 24-48 hours.

As stated before I will still have to transfer all the data over, but it still means we are almost there!

As you can tell we don’t have the new dedicated server yet…

DreamHost was taking forever and just extended their ETA on me, so I decided to look elsewhere.

We have ordered a dedicated server from a new company and I was told it could take up to 24 hours.

Yes you read right, could take up to 24 hours!

That is way better then DreamHosts “sometime but we will keep pushing the date on you”.

So with any luck we will have our dedicated server VERY soon!

Please note that once we have the server we still have to transfer everything to the new server (which we probably would have had to do with DreamHost too).

So with any luck we will be 100% up and running again in a few days.

Thank you for bearing with us.

So as you know some guys are just jerks and think its funny to post pictures of themselves in all the different categories.

To you guys, come on.

Also be careful guys because if it doesn’t stop soon I will be forced to take more action.

For you that hate these images as much as I do, there is now the ability to report images as being in the wrong category or improper (yes I know the term improper is a little sketchy in this app, but I think you know what I mean… like pictures of a room, or computer screens or things like that)

This will be manned by our team of monkeys for now, so don’t expect immediate fixes, but we will try to get as many as we can removed as fast as we can.

In the not so distant future the plan is to allow people who wish to help the ability to moderate the reported images and either move them to the correct category or delete them.

If you wish to help out in this area, feel free to leave a comment and we will get back to you when this part is ready.

I got news today that iSteamy has become so popular that my hosting company is complaining about the number of connections. They aren’t complaining about the bandwidth, but instead simply the number of people connecting at once.

This caused the problem that they limited the number of connections that the account could get at once. This caused some people to get some unresponsive times in the app or on the website.

So anyways, I am in talks with DreamHost to get a virtual private server which should hopefully stop them from complaining. The problem with this is that it can take a couple of weeks, or more, and I can’t let the app and website be as flaky as they made it. So my temporary solution was to offload most of the standard server connections to another web server.

My hope is that this will remove enough of the connections from the standard server so that viewing media will work like normal, or better. So here is hoping that it removes enough of the standard connections to fix the problem while not causing a surge in bandwidth speeds on the other server.

So, how can you help?

Make sure that you install version 1.0.15.

Thats it. Hopefully these changes will do the trick.

We have just updated iSteamy to version 1.0.12!

This release gives support for firmware 1.1.4 and also fixes the dreaded “This movie could not be played” error.

Enjoy!

I am please to announce the release of iSteamy: The premiere adult application for the iPhone and iPod Touch!
