Victim of my own success

Bandwidth! What on earth is bandwidth, and why am I exceeding it? This was my first thought on opening an email from Photobucket this morning. A quick read of their T&C’s clears it up, “Bandwidth is used when digital content is viewed from a link you have posted on another website”, “Free accounts are allowed 25GB of bandwidth per month. This is hundreds of thousands of images viewed via direct links and resets each month on the day you registered.”

So why am I running out, well each time my main page is viewed its 7 photos X the 11,000 views over last weekend adds up. So I’ve changed the page view to 2 until I can get it sorted.

The picture today is of another canal side house; this one is an original lock keepers cottage, complete with lock. This was just sold but I have no idea for how much for, but what a fantastic place to live, in my head I’ve already converted the out building in to a gallery and am selling cream teas to the passing boats.

Oh I never got a grasp of bandwidth when I had to learn about it a few years ago - total mess.

Nice pic, great song today as well.

Try using imageshack or picasa. If using picasa keep the photo sizes small so you don't exceed your allotted storage. imageshack has no size requirments but you don' get an "album" either.

Looks like a good place to go for some relaxation. The cream tea would be good as well.

I would love to live in a place like that house! How amazing!

As for bandwidth, would you like for us to stop looking? Would that help? If so, stop taking such amazing photos!

I want to be a lock keeper. I wish there were locks in the midwest! I could serve cinnamon rolls and coffee. Why didn't I know of such a job back when I was young???? Thanks for the great picture. Keep up the good work.

Love the photos - on both sites.
Which part of Staffordshire are you from then?
Lived in the West Midlands for three years and seen a good bit of the surroundings. Lovely countryside round there.

Be very carfeul exchanging links, is all I'll say. Bandwith isn;t the rwas deal here, it's the server itself.
Very picturesque natural image and the song is the perfect cure for the saturday blues.

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit...

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s ...

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever...
