Dawn of the Geeks

Free Ringtone Heaven is currently being purged and reloaded. It’ll probably be an hour or two before it’s back up. The biggest change is to the file and directory structure both on the server and in the database. Previously all stats were tied to file ids. Now they’re tied to the file hash. What this means is that in the future I can do some reorganization on the files without having to take the whole site down. And no stats will be lost.

The next step is to separate the physical file location from the virtual directory structure. That will make it even easier to adjust the location of files without having to reupload all the ringtone files. With all the current changes, that switch should be transparent and require no down time.
