So unless Cass comes back from Canada and issues a Call to Beale St., I may be on another run of not seeing anyone for a while, maybe until I head for New Jersey on the 17th. Arguably it's a run of avoiding people, as the dynamics with the people I've been hanging out with have changed for the avoidable.

Fotolog gets the big shaft. If you don't pay, they now restrict you to one upload per day, down from six uploads per day last week, down from unlimited uploads per day prior to that. Granted, it's a free service, they can do whatever they want, and photos take up a lot of space. But when YACCS ran out of server space, they temporarily stopped accepting new accounts. When Blogger started its Pro accounts, you could opt to pay more to get upgraded service. Neither YACCS or Blogger started restricting what they had already been offering for free the way Fotolog is doing. BUT if you give them money, they put a little gold camera next to your name. Isn't that special. And if you don't give them money, you're a cheap-ass tightwad whose pictures aren't worth viewing anyway.
