Pony up and Get your Goat (pic spam)

Today Dreamwidth introduced easy image hosting! They had image hosting for a while, but it was really awkward (had to change your settings to allow email posting & post the pics from email & then you couldn't do much managing.) When you click to Post an entry, you'll find it under the 'create' drop down menu, 'upload images'. I don't think they have updated the FAQ yet, but in replies to comments they said the storage limit is 500MB for all account types. There are prob. a few bugs to work out, so I'm not trying it today. Also, since I have a permanent account at LJ, I have more storage space there. I forget what the limit is, but I've used up nearly 300MB and it tells me that's no more than 1%.

I think I'll save the DW hosting space for emergencies.

In other photo host news, maybe Ipernity is going to continue. The situation is still not resolved & they may continue but change it so that I won't stay there. They were thinking to *start* membership levels at $56 per year. And I'm No on that, almost doubling what I pay for unlimited usage now and no idea what limits they'd place at that price. Actually LJ's interface is much easier (when it WORKS)- I can get the posting codes for a bunch in far less time than it takes me to get even a single one (there's no way to get more than one URL at a time) at Ipernity (their focus is on community viewing & they barely acknowledge that you might like to use them as a photo host for viewing elsewhere.)

Lovely and Ugly Birds (pic spam)

It seems unkind, but conventional ideas of beauty make us admire the white ibis, while looking askance at turkey vultures.

Todays' Google Doodle is SUCH FUN.

It's a Valentine's Day series of simple, but pretty, games in which your pangolin tries to collect gifts to travel around the world to give to their valentine pangolin love.

I have to go back and play it again once my clicking fingers recover.

Will no one think of the zombies?

Today I noticed two subject lines in consecutive posts on my DW flist.

"the first four people that come up when you type @ are the ppl that make up your zombie apocalypse survival team"

and

Hacking Trump's Brain


and my mind immediately went to a poor, pitiful zombie ripping Trump's skull open, and finding nothing to eat.
