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

This is barely a technical issue, but when I post animated GIFs to tumblr using their "photo" option, the animation is killed. What am I doing wrong?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Just a guess--are you sure they allow animated GIFs?

Also, if an animated GIF isn't animated after you upload it, that means they must have some software that turns off the animation in the GIF, right?

Is your animaged GIF set to animate indefinitely?

I'm guessing you don't spend much time on tumblr...place is full of them. I just don't know how everyone else is accomplishing it. Remote hosting?

And, yeah, it was a forever GIF.

It's very pretty.

In places.

And ridiculously addictive.

Remote hosting?

Could be. It's easy enough to check a few page sources.

No, the first one I found was tumblr hosted. I don't get it.

Could it be related to size?

I'll have to watch out for that.

Thanks.

So, anyone installed Lion yet? I'm curious how the update process works in practice.

eta: I'm pro'lly gonna wait a bit. Certainly I gotta wait until I get a bigger HD to install Lion on my MacBook Pro.
