A world where some people go naked at all times.
So I’m officially over my limit, fortunately my host has been nice about it and hasn’t suspended access or anything yet, but clearly I need to get this under control. In an effort to do so, I’m implementing a rather strict anti-hotlinking rule. Seems like it’s basically working, but we’ll see. Do let me know if you encounter something horribly broken.
Edit: Actually let me know if you see something mildly broken too, it’s just I’m expecting that part already. This will probably be a bumpy ride.
Due to an unwise experiment, since reverted, I might be in trouble on bandwidth this month. I’m not sure exactly what will happen, but worst case, the blog might go offline for a few days until my quota refreshes next month. Hopefully I can avoid that, but I wanted to give you an early warning just in case. I may also be posting a little less as I try and sort this out (plus attend some other commitments I have that unfortunately came up at the same time).
I’m gonna be out of town this weekend. I’ll queue up a few posts so the front page won’t be totally dead, but don’t expect much activity until some time Monday.
Sorry folks, I’ve been getting too many of those long rambling spam comments lately. I’m turning the captcha back on. If you create an account and log in, that should bypass it (if you still see it do let me know).
No prize, except if I like any of them I’ll repost this with my favorite and credit you. Comment here with your caption before Sunday the 13th.
Please, if you’re concerned about an image, give me a link to the actual post, or tell me the title. Any other information about why you think it’s inappropriate would also be appreciated.
Someone sent a report saying “Possible illegal content”, but unfortunately the only other information included was a link to a tag page with 10 different images.
Looking over the page though, I’m guessing it was Ringleader that they found questionable. It’s apparently from a 2003 movie so it should be fine. If the person who submitted the report sees this (they also gave no contact info), please let me know if you meant a different picture or still have reason to believe the image isn’t OK.
My computer problem turn out to be much less serious than I feared (old computer so I kind of expected the worst). Turned out the graphics card had come unseated. So obviously blank screen, and the loose connection may have made it freak out in other ways too. But after tightening that is seem be in working order once more.
Previous message for anyone curious:
As you know, I’ve been busier with the holidays and all, and now the last thing I wanted to deal with has occurred – my computer died.
Well, I say “died” but I don’t really know if it’s repairable yet. It’s not usable for now though.
And needless to say I can’t do much on the blog without my computer. (Posted this from my phone, but that’s about all I can manage from here.)
I will of course be doing my best to get back up and running but I’m not sure exactly how long that will take.
I got a couple messages letting my know the “Random” function is broken. No clue what happened. I haven’t even updated anything too recently. I didn’t notice the problem myself, I suspect this means it’s caching related and logged in users are not affected. So until I have time to attempt a fix, you may need an account to use that feature. This certainly isn’t an intentional limitation, but it’s the only workaround I can offer at the moment.
Edit: I’ve had reports that logging in doesn’t help. I’m stumped then. Why is it still working for me??
Edit 2: Probably mostly fixed. If the problem persists, you most likely need to clear your cache. Or try Porn Mode. Apparently it was setting the page to cache for one week (still don’t quite know why) so it should clear up in 7 days if all else fails.
With the holiday season here, and the visiting family and such that implies, I’m gonna have to take it easy on the blog again for a while. Meaning fewer posts and a less regular schedule. Minimum one per day if at all possible, but probably 2 or 3 most of the time. And I’m also hoping to use this more relaxed pace to catch up on some other blog-related business. (Software updates, tagging, preping submissions and such.)
Speaking of which, I hope you all have a happy holiday season, and if you’ve got any Christmas (or Hanukkah, Solstace, etc) submission ideas, this would be a good time start thinking about sending them in.
Did some WordPress and plug-in updates (which I’d been putting off) BTW, so let me know if anything breaks. Probably nothing to worry about, but wanted to mention it just in case.
