No more direct linking images unless I put the embedding page into the lists. This zaps up way too much of my bandwidth and when it's a PNG and you're getting 3000 hits on it in a matter of a few days it really drains my resources (it's not from anyone here, it was from the KOs and it wasn't with permission -- I didn't find out whodunit until tonight and I am highly pissed since there ARE free image hosts out there).
No more robots trolling my site.
Possibly no more viewing images directly from your friends pages if I don't cut things. So expect lots more cutting.
I ought to get a really nice picture of a human finger infected with Orf as a redirect but I won't do that. Why bother when I can just list all of the allowed sites? Though it would be funny.
Going through 2 gigs of bandwidth in a month is no laughing matter. It's not even remotely laughable. I won't have it happen again -- I might not pay a great deal of money for my 2G a month but it's still my hard-earned money.
Sleep time, meeting tomorrow from eleven until one and then phoning Doug just afterwards. It is nice that he has a clear phone voice, there were only a few instances where I couldn't quite hear him when I called him earlier.
