ive been messing with the css code for a while now. i got very annoyed when the spiral would should up fine in IE, but look all kinds of wonky in Netscape. usually, its the other way around…so finally FINALLY, i noticed i was missing a } at the end of a part of the code.
gah!
so back to more interesting things.
on the spiral, i have lj icons over here. now, at the top, it says to use them however you want, but to save them to your own server in order to use them. why? because 1)its polite and 2) linking directly to it (meaning using html and using an image tag < img src = http://www.silverspiral.net/wormdude.gif" > )uses my bandwidth. everytime that pic has to load (especially in popular places, like a board), it forces more of my resources to work on loading it. now, when im the person using it, i dont care. but when someone else does it, its rude and it costs me money, as i have to pay for additional bandwidth.
so yesterday, i checked my stats, and noticed a few people were hotlinking. so i drop them an email to ask them to either A) save it and upload it to somewhere like photobucket or B) take it down.
one person responds positivly. “Oh sorry! Im saving it right now!”
one person is a pain in the ass. and possibly a seven year old. direct quote: im sry alia i can upgrade stuff im really sry u have aol i do?
i email back and ask them again to remove or upload.
i dont want to ok thats it
i email again and explain that due to their refusel, i am turing on my hotlinking protection, which will prevent them from using it. it just wont show up when they try to link it like that. i still can, but they cant.
you bitch ill get it back from someone nicer and BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
