Nope, she's just saying not to hotlink. If you're just putting them in your icons, you can just have a copy on your local machine.

Oh. Cool!

So - what does hotlink mean, then?

Hotlinking is kind of what you were saying... instead of putting a picture on your own webspace, and then linking to it wherever you're putting up the picture, you just link to the original picture, wherever it happens to be. Then, whenever someone loads your webpage, it uses the original location to load, using their webspace instead. It's an issue for things like Photobucket, where you're only allowed a set amount of downloads per month for a free account.

Oooh, that sounds painful, Daniel.

I want a vacation. No vacation until spring break, next month. I'm going to spend this weekend working on my talk for the conference at the end of March, so that I can have that out of the way and not have to worry about it over break.

My doctor offered a cortisone injection this morning. I said no -- it wasn't hurting enough then to overcome my needle fear. I'm kinda thinking maybe I should have gotten it. Ow.

People, stop the painful stuff.

We took a walk downtown and stopped in at the new clean and sober club. boring. but good cider

I've got a few rows of little tiny red dots on my arm. From the blood pressure cuff at the doctors office -- popped blood vessels. It's interesting. I'm striped!

I went to the doc today and discovered I have a sinus infection. In addition to the antibiotics, she strongly recommended a sinus rinse and asked if I had ever heard of a neti pot. Thanks to y'all, I could say yes.

I didn't get a neti pot, but got a sinus rinse thing she recommended and MAN that is an odd feeling. I'll keep trying it - the air is so dry here, it is kinda nice to moisten things up.

I am currently stuck onstage, babysitting an important video cable that went bad just before curtain. This sucks. Whenever I have to do something during the show, it usually means something bad has happened. The cable will need to be replaced, or at the very least reterminated, but that will have to wait for tomorrow.
