Quick lesson in “image etiquette” on the interwebs.

If you’re going to use an image from someone elses site (e.g.: mine) – as long as you’re sure they won’t have a problem with it, of course, there’s two things you should do.

1. Download it from their site, upload it to your own – meaning you’re using your own bandwidth, not theirs.

2. Credit them for the image.

Thanks on both these counts to the lovely lecraic.

Boo hiss! on both counts to Amanda’s Growing Pains. Here’s a screenshot. Her blog entry DID have a picture looking like THIS in it:

… and okay, granted- that’s not MY original photo, but it’s hosted on my server and she directly linked to it, using my bandwidth (albeit a small amount) – so I changed the file so it looks like this:

(I also posted a reply there linking her to here). I guess that’ll show her…

I guess I “LOL”‘d when I saw this on Robot Chicken on Bravo TV tonight.

… and I’m enough of a nerd to wonder “shouldn’t Jack have said ‘AFK’ or ‘NN’ instead of ‘BRB’?”. Ugh…

Eircom are charging 1 EURO for 10 minutes Internet access at their booths… bit of a rip off, eh?

(Picture taken at eircom broadband booths in Scotch Hall S.C., Drogheda – all of which are pretty much constantly in use by kids on bebo).

Perhaps that’s how they can afford to increase their customers download speeds…
