Step away from the keyboard and nobody will get hurt. Holy Fuck! I'm #10 in the top ten posters. How the fuck did that happen? Really. What an eye~opener. Time to get out to the workshop or something. Must create. Must step away. must Must MUST.
Dang.

if you want to do a jpeg, you can crank up the compression. if you do it as a gif, you can reduce the size of the color table. if you turn of dithering, it allows for longer runs in the rlc, thus reducing the file size.
in large part, it depends on the image that you choose, because some just suit themselves to compression better than others.

Well, sort of.
I think it might be the same person.
See, I had an ad on Obtainium looking for website design in exchange for my seamstress skills. A few months went by and no one answered, until one day he wrote to me about the offer. In the mean time, my dad redisgned my website (I don't really like it, but I've got to keep it for a while; don't wann hurt my dad's feelings). he was looking to make a men's suit out of Twister mats. I said I would try, and I gave it my best shot (some of you may remember me bitching about in before BM, along with the &**^(&(%(%& Oklahoma costumes...)
Anyway, I finshed it and shipped it to him, and we had the best intentions of meeting up and exchanged playa addresses, yadda yadda yadda. You know how it goes on the playa--totally forgot all about it.
So I'm working in the cafe right after the burn, when it starts to get busy and this guy in a Twister suit comes up to my register.
So I'm like, "Nice suit."
He says, "Thanks."
I say: "I made it."
We were finally introduced.
Didn't have much time to talk, but it was still cool to meet up. Probably on of the best parts of working the cafe.
Anyway, what was that about making a long story short...?

There's hangovers, then there's LoneStar hangovers..... uurgh.
My van seems to be paying me back for having transported me to Mexico without a problem back in 2001, then sitting in storage for 2 years while I gallavanted around England and Asia. At least it's been picking relatively good places to break down - just outside Lordsburg, NM, where a couple of local mechs who'd never had their heads under anything that didn't come out of Detroit or Osaka managed to do a bandaid solution that allowed me to limp all the way to Austin. At least I got my lovely rideshare companion home in time to be at work. Then after $300+ worth of fuel pump at the Underground Metaphysical VW Repair shop in Austin, it got me 40 miles toward Dallas before conking out in Jerrall, TX. Funny, the last time I was there I was huddling under an overpass while a tornado ripped overhead (and went on to kill a dozen or so people in the nearby trailer park). Anyway, it's good to be back in The State That Rhymes With Excess, whatever the circumstances.

a better url would be one that had a mnemonic key for the thread, rather than a number. relational databases are good enough that, say, the first 12 characters from the thread title make a sufficient key and give some indication as to what you're reading.
either a url tells me what i'm going to be looking at, or it doesn't. if it doesn't, it doesn't really matter how it fails, i think.
btw this is all just my personal amateur opinion based on 20 years of passing interest (i.e. i never got paid for it) in hci, and i'm not really all that picky about urls in bbs systems, and i think it kicks ass that h is coming up with an alternative.
