So I tried adding more pages to my Art-thing at crosswinds. Well... I managed to fix the links, so you can actually get from the index page to page 32, but some of the pictures (okay, _most_) aren't showing up. In IE, I get little messages at the bottom of the page saying 'Loading x K of 70K, at x KPBS'. Or I get 'connecting: contacting crosswinds.net...', then the loading message, a status bar that fills up quickly, and no picture.

In NS, I get a 'loading...' message, and then a broken image. It doesn't help that NS runs abysmally slowly on my computer... And on top of it all, NS seems to clog up the modem line and then -everything- stops working, kind of like a sink drain that drains slower and slower until it simply -won't-.

So. I used Fetch to upload the pics/pages, as usual, and it's only the images that aren't working. The HTML works just fine. *Grump* And I tried using crosswinds' upload utility, but it froze... *Jabs things* Is it too bloody much to ask that things just frigging WORK right the first time? Jeeze...

The Spam Files...

More domains from my inbox.

 

• uole.com or uol.com, not sure which. Both of my broaswers have been refusing to work, of late.
• fp.inoac.net, from Jim Stead, from whom I requested not a scrap of information.
• From: sendmail.ru, to: newmail.com
• neth.com.br, advertising a stock analysis newsletter that costs 100 dollars a year to recieve
• While I doubt that the user-name portion of this domain is correct, the domain itself probably exists. vsam.vic.edu.au
• bluebyte.de, from asiaspi. Ooh.
• fol.net
• charles at loja.net sent me a thing on offshore and bulletproof investments.
• Townhouses in Florida (gated communities, ooh, secure!) -- theislandclub.com
• If I didn't know that the only Tom I know is a pretty upstanding guy, I'd blame him for the spam I got from tom1@ toponeman.com.
• It's not a good idea to use your ZIP code in your e-mail addres, david_32375@msn.com.
• I think these guys have made my Spam Parade before -- public.sta.net.cn
• geosolutions.com, c_hart@angelfire.com, income@extraonlineincome.com, and hall@indiatimes.com were all involved with -one- email that said very little about what you actually _do_ to earn money, but it made a lot of promises that you -would- make it.
• Herbal Viagra, spammed from via@nat.fr, yet the address you send your money to is in Pampano Beach, Florida. Hmm.
• sunpoint.net has obviously confused me with someone that has a judicial judgement to buy. Or someone at slo.net.
• From: carolkip@ntts.co.jp. Carol, Kip, it's not worth it. Leave me alone.
• a-1.be wants me to lose weight. Yeah, well, so? I ain't buying it.
• portugalmail.com wants you to "start making what your worth" [sic!]. Funny, but tpxpi looks more Basque than Portugese...
• ricokid.cc's spam was actually fairly interesting -- steel building/building materials prices.
• wongfaye.com has printer cartridges for cheap.
• I wouldn't use my real name on spam, would you? Sean Christopher of crenterprises.net doesn't seem to care...
• Y'know, I'm beginning to get a little disappointed by the number of Japanese domains I find in my inbox... And none of them have anything to do with anime, yaoi, learning the language, clothes, music,holidays or food. nasda.go.jp is another in what seems to be a long line of them... *Blink* Odd. My email says the authenticated sender is actually someone with wuntagic.com. Interesting...
• #1 Female sex aids right here!! Sponsored by the annoying folks at wmin.ac.uk. (I got -two- of these on the same day!
• Gary Barraclough is another person that uses their name on spam. -And- sending it from MSN.com. Things like this cause my uncle, who is _trying_ to send legit mail from his MSN account, gets nasty "You Bad Spammer You!" letters from outside ISPs.
• Dear mark, I am not your friend. And I bet I know just where you picked up that address of mine for spamming purposes. Do not do it ever again.
• viewcarleton@connect-ed.net, Canadian spam? Also - inets2.vabank.com.ua, Uruguay?
• telia.dk, MLM spamscam.
• I shoooould probably report Cable Extender to Lycos.com. Black boxes are illegal up here, and besides that, the cable company recently launched a big anti-cable-theft campaign.
• Jasmin Kaur of arabia.com wants to know how to get the perfect customer. Here's a hint on getting -me- -- Don't send me email that has nothing of interest in it!
• *Snicker* By the way, jayd12@rniureo17.com, don't send me Windows spam -- I use a Mac. Not to say that I want _Mac_ spam, either...
• k.ro has to have one of the shortest domain names I've ever seen.
• Whoever is using flanker.itl.net.ua to send spam must be sending it to themselves -- the 'To:' address had portugalmail.com as the domain.
