NPCA Updated 04/25/2013

Finally getting the wraps put on this update that we had started back before my son decided to show up into this world 5 weeks prematurely.  It’s taken about 5 weeks to get it done as a result.  At any rate there are 113 new agencies and 13 newly completed counties in this mix, so enjoy!

NPCA Updated 02/05/2013

Greetings everyone!  Our updated today includes over 200 photos, over 50 new agencies and 5 completed counties.  Those of you who follow us over on Facebook know that we’ve been subject to the universal difficulties that Fotki is undergoing in regard to having their NYC Data Center partially submerged after Hurricane Sandy.  It’s made a large chunk of photos disappear from the website in general, and another large chunk that has been restored have all new permalinks which means that all of the photos have to be “re-plumbed” into the site so that they work again.  As it stands right now only Alaska & Georgia have been fixed from top to bottom.  This is a hugely time consuming process as we have to track down the missing/disappeared photos from our offline back-ups, and other online back-up sources.  The only redeeming factor is that once photos are moved to the website itself, there should never be issues with the photos going offline again.

We beg your patience in this process, eventually all the states will have to be redone top to bottom, front to back and in the meantime there will be a plethora of dead links across every page that hasn’t been repaired.  As a general rule if the top of the individual county page has a map of the county highlighted within the state the page has been fixed to the best of our current abilities.  Any missing photos on these pages are things we don’t have back-up files for at the moment, and will have to wait until the completed restoration Fotki says could take several months.

In the mean time enjoy all the new photos from this update!

NPCA Updated 12.20.12 – Or – Last Update Before the End of Days!!!

Well folks, we managed to squeeze in one last update before the End of Days hits. If it’s already past Midnight for you, well we’re sorry you no longer exist, but for the rest of you what better way to twiddle away those last precious moments than by paging through a large quantity of squad cars?

This update adds 184 photos, 60 new agencies, and completes 2 counties and 2 independent cities (VA). Presuming we’re all still floating around this rock in the morning, we’ll move onto the next batch of photos to update.

NPCA – The New World Order

Today dawns a new day upon the National Police Car Archives. The maintenance from our server hosting service is complete. With it comes a new hosting plan, which in addition to saving me about $100 a year (hey ain’t that nice!), it also allows us to have unlimited storage and bandwidth.

“Why do we care James?”

Well I’ll tell you why, this finally…FINALLY allows us to upload images directly

to the website and stop hosting and linking them from Fotki! That in itself saves me about $20 a year, plus it means the subsequent end to dead-links, 404 errors, that wonderful crap where you click on a photo and your browser just hangs for 20 minutes while Fotki doesn’t actually return a result.

“That’s fantastic!”

You’re damn right it is! In addition it means we no longer have to upload our photos and wait a week or two while Fotki decides which one of their server streams they plan to put the photo into (which is what contributes to the dead-links). Part of the dirty little secret of Fotki’s “unlimited storage” is that when your photo receives x-amount of traffic they move it to a different server stream to keep their traffic moving efficiently. Well that’s great for them, but for anyone who links their photos from Fotki to their own webpage, that means that randomly photos will just pick-up and move web addresses without any warning.

Now we can’t pick-up and move 35GB of photos all at once, part of the deal of this new hosting is “controlled growth” so that they aren’t overwhelmed as people switch to the new hosting plans. But that’s fine because I couldn’t handle switching 33k photos at once anyway. So the transition will be steady & gradual, focusing foremost on getting NEW images up onto the NPCA before moving all of the older images over. So dead-linking will continue into the foreseeable future, but will dwindle into a bad memory over time.
