I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Aimee, go to Add/Delete Programs in your control panel and uninstall it from there.

Betsy, I bought an armband at CompUSA that I don't like much. I love the little rubber cover that it comes with, but the band itself is a pain because it has to be fed through the slots on the cover, and it's really long. As a result, I have only used it as an armband once. Most of the time at the gym I just prop it on the monitor of the elliptical trainer.

If I only had a brain...

The problem is, I row. Some sort of attachment is definitely called for.

Right. Well, I'd suggest looking at some armbands in the flesh to see how they attach before buying one.

ita, did you get your question answered? I thought about it, and I think the easiest way is to add a new layer, select the text, and fill the new layer in the selected text area with the gradient and delete the text layer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Polgara suggested I change the properties of the entire layer and add a gradient. It worked out.

But thanks!

tommy, could you send your ZIP code to my profile addy? It'll help figuring shipping.

.htaccess gurus in the house?

What if I want to serve up one particular (perhaps large in dimension, small in size) image to one particular (repeatedly troublesome) domain?

I have a pretty standard .htaccess file that looks much like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*\\.)?buffistas.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*\\.)?worldcrossing.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*\\.)?provocateuse.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [link] [R,NC]

I'd like everyone other than fuckers.com to get blocked.gif. They get realhuge.gif.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I have no idea if this will actually work but you could try:

Block traffic from a single referrer:

RewriteEngine on further reading 
has told me you don't need to add this line b/c the 
rewrite engine is already turned on--unless you have 
this at the top of the page, then delete the other entry :)
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} fuckers\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*\. (jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [link] [R,NC]

This comes from -> [link] ... and all I've done is add in the reference to your image and the other site.

and they say:

Blocking users or sites that originate from a particular domain is another useful trick of .htaccess. Lets say you check your logs one day, and see tons of referrals from a particular site, yet upon inspection you can't find a single visible link to your site on theirs. The referral isn't a "legitimate" one, with the site most likely hot linking to certain files on your site such as images, .css files, or files you can't even make out. Remember, your logs will generate a referrer entry for any kind of reference to your site that has a traceable origin.

So, does the syntax work that I can put the other conditions and rules after, and they won't be affected?
