Peeron has been growing by leaps and bounds since our last major upgrade two years ago - especially after the instruction scan library was moved from http://brickshelf.com to PICSL. While this is great news many of you will have noticed that recently we have been serving pages sluggishly. The main bottleneck appears to be the server memory. We want to bring our speed back up to what we all expect and to do this we need to upgrade the server’s memory.

Thankfully, the main server can support additional memory. To double the amount of memory available, Peeron will need to pay a $400 upgrade fee.

Peeron currently gets over 350,000 visitors each month and another 100,000 to LDraw.org. This is more than three times the traffic we had when we switched to this server 2 years ago. Hopefully with this upgrade we’ll be able to continue this growth!

Just a quick update on what's going on with Peeron and PICSL recently: - With the new year, Peeron is now able to show instructions from 2003. 36 were made available at midnight on the 1st, and since then, 11 more were added. See all available 2003 instructions here: http://peeron.com/scans/?s=0&tid=0&year=2003 - New links were added from sets to Shop@Home when a set is available - for instance, the ISD: http://peeron.com/inv/sets/10030-1 - New RSS feeds were added: - All LEGO sets available at Amazon.com: http://peeron.com/tickers/amazonsales.xml - All LEGO sets available at Shop@home: http://peeron.com/tickers/legosales.xml - All LEGO sales, both on Amazon and S@H: http://peeron.com/tickers/sales.xml I do realize the site has been too slow lately, and I just wanted to let you guys know that I am trying to find a solution to this problem. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome! Dan FUT lugnet.db.inv (for lack of a better place)

This is my first attempt at writing a firefox extension. It will allow looking up information about sets mentioned in posts on various LEGO sites. See screenshots, examples and install it from here: http://www.peeron.com/inv/Firefox_Extensions I hope this might be useful! Dan FUT lugnet.off-topic.geek
