Pictures are up...

Glad you think so. :)

I guess Yeehaw is throttling me after all.

Send a letter to them (DirecWay) and tell them your not going pay (All or part) of your bill until your satisfied. Copy the letter to the BBB and the FTC. It's always fun to add another name to the cc: list, something like cc: Firstname Lastname, Esq. (As requested)

Yeah, that's probably the worst thing. I know those are huge, and they're probably not compressed very well. I haven't done any web stuff in literally years, and I'm in the habit of keeping the quality at the max because I detest lossy file formats. I probably left it at its default, and it probably defaulted to the least possible compression.

Oh well. I'll probably get motivated to do something about it again in a few months. It's not like any of this stuff is earth-shatteringly important.

Yup. It interrupted my browsing. "Over the limit." Bah, Humbug!

I've heard the only downside of JPEG is that everytime the photo is opened for editing and saved (not with a new name), some of the quality gets lost. If you work from the original, compress away...that's what it's best for.

Yea well... It's a fine site just the same! Jon

Yup. They call it "lossy compression" because some of the data gets thrown away forever each time you compress it.

I really don't like the concept. I keep pure data as much as I can afford to. .WAV files and pure-bitmap format images. Sucks up a lot of disk space, but I've been wasting disk space like crazy for three years, and I still have over 10 GB free.

Glad you think so. :)
