Videos, speed and Events

I've not been announcing things, but a lot has gone on. 

First off, hosting have been moved to more modern equipment.  In fact, a lot of more modern equipment.  The old server was a single Athlon XP 1800 with 1GB RAM that has been doing it's job for the last 8 years or so.  Sadly it was not up to the job of everything I wanted to put it to. So I've done some upgrades.  We have roughly 20 CPUs now allocated to webserving and video transcoding.  All modernish Core2duo's (2core and 4core variants 2.4GHz to 3.2Ghz).  32GB RAM, 20TB of storage, etc.  A little faster and a little more reliable.  Also allowing me to implement some of the new features.

Feature #1: bitcoin payment processing.

Feature #2: Video viewing/downloading.  We kindof had this before, but now we are using the modern html5 video tag, and transcoding everything you upload to be available on all browsers.  So now you can upload not just photos, but also videos.   They should play in all modern browsers including ipad/etc.

Also I've been working on cleaning up a lot of code and as a result making things faster.  I think we are just about ready for the masses to bombard our servers with their sexiness.

In addition, events have been getting a bit of my attention.  They need more work and testing still.
