Your DNS is not properly set up. You must have a valid hostname and DNS
system or hosts file before the system will work correclty. That delay is
because the system is trying to reverse lookup who you are and it is not
succeeding.

Thank you.

Our slide show CGI is an awesome addition to any site. It allows your users
to surf "hands free" through your photo archives. Users can set delay and
skip photos they dont want to see immediately. This CGI works in harmony with
our "Naughty Navigator" program (CGI) which allows users to navigate
your images
by viewing thumbnails in a paged mode. The items will work seperately, however
in harmony, having both is the best way to add to your site. Added time saving
features are also included with the navigator CGI. This system will auto-create
all the thumbnails and etc. for you. No html to generate. Additionally these
are all fully customizable. We do all the installation, so there is no
guesswork or trial and error on your part. We hold your hand the whole way
and make sure you understand how they work. (Quite easy I might add).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
In God We Trust, all others pay cash.
And........
I am suffering from rare and deadly diseases,
poor scores on final exams, extreme virginity, fear of being kidnapped and
executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion
fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you
send them on, then that poor 6-year-old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her
forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her
redneck parents sell her off to the travelling freak how. Do you honestly
believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send "his" email
to $1000? How stupid are you? "Ooooh, lookyhere! If I scroll down this page
and make a wish, I'l get laid by every Playboy model in the magazine!" What a
bunch of bullshit. So basically, this message is a big FUCK YOU to all the
people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain
mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my
apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was
started by Jesus in 5 A.D. and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims
on the Mayflower and if it makes it to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness
Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity. If
you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing.
I've seen all the "send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor,
wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some
omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. I don't care. Show a little
intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending
out forwards. Chances are it's your own unpopularity. The point being? If you
get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for
the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people
off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's
been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years, whose only savior is the 5 cents per
letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like
Miranda. Right? Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow
morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.
