New technology

Finally time to enter some more information. As was predicted I have been loosing sleep regularly in the last few months...

Results are quite nice though! I have implemented 3 different full-text search database engines in the mean-time, and have finally found one that can truly handle the data volume with the required high speed insert and query that is necessary for a site like this. MS-Sql Server and MySql could'nt handle it at all, so I have now implemented a Lucene open-source implementation, and it is working like a charm!

Watching the statistics has shown that at the current stage I am getting around 500 page-views from around 350 unique visitors on a daily basis. This means that the site has grown roughly 3.5 times as big since the previous post, and that is promising for the future!

As told before I still have many plans with this site, and I am actively constructing more functionality as you are reading this. Soon there will be more to see!
