Awesome.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

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

Speak of the devil....
ThinkSecret reports that Apple is prepping an update to their full-size iPod that could arrive in the "first-half of August".
ThinkSecret believes that the iPod will not feature a touch-screen or a scaled down version of OS X until 2008. Instead, they believe that the new iPod is somewhat shorter than existing iPods but will maintain the current screen and click wheel. If true, this would correlate with a recent mockup posted to 9to5mac.
The saved space will shrink about an inch off the device and give it proportions that in some ways more resemble a BlackBerry.
They also confirm that the recently leaked iPod inteface videos will be used for the upcoming 6G iPod's interface.

hip deep in pie
There's no event scheduled, but there are lots of rumors that Apple will update the iPod soon (they haven't updated it in a couple of years). And if they're going to update it, they would have to do it soon (say, by the end of September) if they're going to have something ready for Christmas.
Tommy, I've been shopping around for an iPod and I've noticed that there's been a lot of "sales" on models lately, (usually about $20-25 off) and wondered if that meant they were getting ready to stock newer versions.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Bloody. Yahoo's closing their photo site (apparently they own Flickr now?), and I have to figure out what to do with the photos I have online. They suggest five options:
- Flickr
- Photobucket
- Snapfish
- Shutterfly
- Kodak Gallery
What's important to me -- storage space, free service
What's not important -- creating prints from my photos.
Anyone have any opinions on the best option? I can already tell that Flickr's free account is probably not going to work. (And thanks for NOT e-mailing to warn me, Yahoo. Fuckers.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yahoo keeps emailing me, Dana. That's weird.
What is wrong with Flickr? That'll help see which of the others are right or wrong.
I can't remember which of that list seem to require you to log in to view someone's pics, but I know there are people's albums I never saw because I came to yet another registration page and wandered off in frustration.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Snapfish has been telling me they are about to delete the pictures I have in there since I haven't ordered anything in a year+, FYI.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The only one I've seen (other than Flickr) that I don't hate is PicasaWeb. 1 GB storage for the free account.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Eep. I should check my Yahoo.
I've definitely walked from site where I had to register to see pics that the owner sent me a link to - do not want.

Me too -- and I think several of the sites on Yahoo's recommended list do it; I'm just not sure which ones. Other sins: sites with impossible to navigate albums, sites that make it suck to just link to a picture, reaaaaaaallly slow sites, sites that nag me to pay for prints at every turn.

HA. I searched at Flickr for "FAQ" and was clearly not paying attention, since I ended up searching the photos. The first hit was a picture of Jon B's, with DX, Theo, Thessaly, Nutty, and FAQ!Wife.
Anyway, free Flickr accounts have a 100MB upload limit per month. Maybe I'm overestimating my needs, but at the very least, I couldn't transfer all of my photos over there at once.
Picasa is Google's service? I'll check that out.
