Dan, Nice piece of work... Love the pixelated bird logo, its a memorable touch.
The idea of expiry date strikes me as useful.. a one-shot option might also be good [ie. remove after first download ] Competitive market, given DropBox etc., and Amazon are rumoured to be working on an offering. Yours looks like a coherent effort. Ill def try it out... Id use this on a fortnightly basis. I tend to just bite the bullet and ftp to my own server, then I find 3months later I need to delete all these random named files :] cheers, gord _at_ lokenote.com st kilda On Oct 14, 6:11 pm, Dan Washusen <d...@sixtydigits.com> wrote: > Hi All, > A friend of mine mentioned Silicon Beach a few months ago but I've only just > discovered the amazing amount of info stored in the list archives.
