Default Birdseye views and murphy's law

At the begining, everything works fine. You create a gallery dedicated
to birds'eye view pictures and test it for a few days. No problem.
Then, you open it and make it public on this newsgroup. The first day,
you get 200 visitors.
The problem is : this very same day and the next one, without any
warning, your internet provider chooses to move its database servers.
Result? Database is out of reach, all your visitors get an error
message and can't get anything more from your site than your homepage.

I am really sorry about this frustating experience many of you have
faced on saturday and sunday. It is over now and the site is really
open and functionnal on a - hopefully- brand new server.

The aim is to share the pictures we take when we fly with people who
only dream about it. All pictures remain yours. The site is free and
will remain free. There is a feature to protect your pictures against
illegal copying if you want.
