Not much has changed on EveKnows.com recently, but I’m not dead! I’ve been working on a number of under-the-hood improvements, the first of which is being rolled out today. Caroline, the search spider that builds the EveKnows database, has been significantly upgraded to be faster, smarter about detecting galleries, and produce better thumbnails. The new galleries Caroline uncovers will be integrated into EveKnows over the coming months, but you can get a sneak-peek at them by checking out the Latest Galleries page.

This upgrade has been a long time in coming.  The previous version of Caroline didn’t scale well, so when EveKnows hit the 1,000,000 gallery mark, things started to slow down substantially.  This new version should make the site much more responsive.

For those of you who submit galleries, rest assured that they are being indexed, but they won’t appear in the search results until I adjust the website to work with the new version of Caroline.
