Not again

I am feeling grief over two inspiring LJ writers who have deleted their journals in the past week, partly over the circumstances in their lives that led them to do so, and partly over my own sense of loss.

What do you get for nothing?

My experiment with freepicturehosting.com has gone foul. I apologize that all my images back to January 11 can't be viewed. The box says, "You've reached your bandwidth limit for this month please upgrade."

In fact I paid $2.99 to subscribe to a service plan allowing a bandwidth of 1,500 mb per month, and I have used less than 900 mb. Checking on the website this morning, I discovered they had reduced the allowable bandwidth overnight and without notice to 400 mb. Going to PayPal to cancel my subscription, I discovered the site had never charged $2.99 to my account.

What an inept service. Now I regret giving them any personal information. I hope I have heard the last of them.

For now I will continue to rely on wonderboymi who has graciously hosted my photos since July.

I recently registered a domain name of my own and chose a web host that a friend recommended. Once that is set up I plan to place all my photos in galleries on the new web site.

Squeaky wheel

I complained to freepicturehosting.com and they have replaced the old bandwidth restriction on my account, so my photos are visible for now. I won't renew my subscription, though, and as far as I can see they didn't receive any money from me yet, so we'll see how long this lasts.

Fairy wings

I rarely post the results of lemming quizzes, but I like the result of this one. It reflects qualities I feel inside ( but have trouble expressing. )
