As I type this Flickr is still undergoing its site maintenance involving the moving of everyone’s accounts, pictures etc. (billions of photos and videos, and over 100 million accounts!) across to a new hosting platform. I think it was scheduled to take 12 hours, but like many IT projects, is taking a little while longer than originally planned. As such I can’t get at my photos to add them in the normal way so, instead, here’s one I’ve uploaded directly.
Note: This isn’t meant to be a metaphor for Flickr’s account migration project. 🙂

As a veteran IT person, someone who has done projects similar to this but on a smaller scale, I expected they were being very optimistic when I thought it was going to take just 12 hours.

Yeah, i must admit that those were my thoughts too. I worked in web application support for many years so have seen a number of similarly overly optimistic targets come and go.
