FFS learn to use something like ImageMagick at least.

Bonwick suggested I should put up my worst ones and pretend they were
all I'd got, let the dullards have their pop about quality and then put
up some better ones.

I'm happy to say even my worst ones were generally better than those.

They were holiday snaps.

 

I've got some of those too...

....a particular favourite being...

....which must score at least a 15 on the Carmichael scale.

Why? Doesn't your browser fit them to the window? I shrunk them down (not in
dimensions), and threw them on the server. Checked they loaded ok and ya
está. Took me all of a few seconds, which is what it warranted. A couple of
holiday snaps that actually were "by Carmichael in the Isle of Man". It was
a knee-jerk reaction ;-)

When I want to create a professional gallery of photos (hardly likely, is
it), I'll fire up the Gimp and spend some time on it. Meanwhile, you and
Ace, just don't click on my photo links

 

I have lots of bandwidth. You don't so I gave up after the first ten
seconds. I wouldn't put such large images on a server without
reducing their sizes. That said, they are your pix so prolly not worth the
effort ;-)

 

Im on 16meg Broadband and they take about 30secs a pic to load.

Yeah, but doesn't that 16 meg get funneled down the 128k circuit to the
island?

 

You wouldnt belive the bandwidth coming into the IOM.

Its measured in terabits.

Did you manage to meet any more ukrmers btw? As we were leaving Peel we
saw Adie and other-Andy heading the other way.

Really? The biggest one is 270kB.

Aah, I was being a bit thick. I should have thrown them on a server with
some upload speed. Having said that, Telefonica have promised they're going
to upgrade mine to 640k any minute now. I'll believe it when I see it.

OMFG!!! http://www.speedtest.net/result/845880611.png

Sorry everyone. Bets I get in touch with Telefonica.

Erm, could you try again please? I've made an adjustment.

 

Load times are better - Id still resize them or use Flickr or the like,
they are simply too big for web use.

Yup. I'm convinced. I think I have a photobucket account or summat. I got in
contact with telefonica about the miserably slow connection and they said
hang on a minute, we'll just try something. Be right back. Nada. Half an
hour later I try another router.

So it appears that the free router I got from Cab is dead. I'll not be
complaining.

 

Shame that. It was a good router when I had it.
