Thanks for the suggestions. I checked out webfaction.com and they looked nice. Might move from Pair over there.
I think what I am going to do is splurge and go with Amazon's EC2 ($72/ month). But it's root level access so I can do anything. Last night I got a Python daemon running that monitored the MySQLdb every 10 seconds (just for testing) and it would process "thumb_jobs" by calling PIL. Worked nicely. I will have to experiment with tight batch control (as in, not processing the same pic more than once) and threading. cbmeeks http://www.signaldev.com On May 30, 5:50 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Aahz) wrote: > In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > > cbmeeks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >My stupid host (pair.com) doesn't have PIL installed and I'm too much > >of a stupid newbie to figure out how to get it to work with them > >(access denied while installing it, of course). > > >Also, they don't have any python interface setup for GD. > > >Anyway, I don't know what my options are.
