From: "Nicholas Wright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Invitation for comments... My web site is ~almost~ ready to be advertised, so I'd like to have everyone's opinion. http://celt.drak.net/nwright/index.html Thanks! Nick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Using Netscape 4.72 w/ 56k v90-x2 @54666kbs on a PIII-800 w/384mb SDRAM on a Voodoo3 3000 AGP at 1024x768 to a Viewsonic Pro FP21". Nice site. Nice opening photo (everyone likes kids). Server bogged down to 600bps at times loading .JPG's (.GIF/.TIF's will load faster & look the same)3-4kbs otherwise. B&W looked good for Sports. Using the browser to scrunch down a big photo takes time & memory .... something web surfers don't have tolerance for on the 'Net (even with cable).... it's still the NOW generation. There's proggies that will make thumbs on a batch basis & rename em as it goes (for free). There's also nifty ways to copyright without using the text feature of Paint (for that's what looks like was used). There' also proggies that do "invisible" watermarking & raised/embossed copyright stuff..... or even opaque text right thru the middle of the pic... what tree-jumper wants a pic of a kid with "SAMPLE" thru the middle of it? The idea being that you're someone "special" with unique talents. A 6yr old kid can add text with Paint. Nice clean source code & no JAVA (bravo). No blinking lights, animated GIF's, screwy background crapola. A short Shockwave intro would be slick... just because most don't have the time to fiddle with such stuff (and the ability to blow right past it). No lame MIDI playing. Nice site. Sports was the best page..... IMHO. pictage.com is "still in development".... a BAD THING[tm]. There's other sites up & running with some history & a modicum of success. Most of those sites simply disable the right-click/save-as function using JAVA to "protect" photos ... which can be turned off (with this browser)... giving me free access.
