Digging through ‘s code is fun! (I’m assuming he won’t have a problem with me posting this; I’ll be happy to take it down if he does.)

Next on the list, asked:

For each of the following sets of things, list your favorite and explain why…
1) Star Trek: TNG episode

Hmm… This is a tough one. I’ve looked through the entire episode listing, and I just can’t pick just one… There’s so many good choices here. Sorry…

2) Bible verse

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

This verse just keeps on reminding me that God is in control, and that when I let Him be in change of things, everythng will work out better.

3) Board Game (no card games!)

I guess I’ve have to say Chess, but there are many other games that I like as well. I like strategy games.

4) Programming Language (no experience with the language necessary)

Scheme. No contest. It’s a wonderful language for learning about CS theory.

5) alien race from any Sci-Fi series

I think I’d have to go with the Vulcans. No particular reason… maybe I just identify with them more.

And now, I’ll answer questions that asked:

Well asked to ask people questions. I took him up on his offer. Other people are certainly welcome to ask me more questions, and if you really want I could try to think of questions to ask you.

Answers to Bronzite’s Questions

I have Pictures from Costa Rica! I found a reasonable photo gallery program that let me be lazy, and decided to host them off my computer anyway. Maybe one day I’ll scan in some of our wedding pictures and post them as well.

Right now, there’s a folder there per roll of film, and the pictures are not labeled or organized in any way. Perhaps, one day, it might get fixed.

Keep in mind that this is being hosted off my computer, so it’s possible that it has slightly less reliability and bandwidth than your average commercial web server.

In one of the most impressive acts of Microsoft incompetence I’ve ever seen, there’s a bug in Microsoft’s handling of JPEGs that would allow even looking at an image to take over your computer. I suggest that those running Microsoft software read the bulletin and get patched.

So, I have pictures that Jessi and I took in Costa Rica, although many came out fuzzy or with fingers in front of the lens. I also have a copy of the pictures that were from the team camera. I would like to share these pictures with other people. The problem is, these pictures total over 150 megs, and I’m not sure where to host them. Yahoo’s got a photo service, but the UI stinks and you can’t get the full-size picture back from them. (They have thumbnails, and you can click the thumbnail to get a slightly larger picture, but I don’t think they store or let you get back the full-size picture again. At least, I couldn’t figure out how.)

I could host them off of my computer, but (a) I don’t have that much upload bandwidth, (b) Charter could get testy if I start hosting big files off my computer, and (c) I don’t want to go through the hassle of making thumbnails and gallery pages.

Does anyone else have a suggestion, or a way for Yahoo to do what I want?
