>I am toying with Cafe Press and am making t-shirts, mugs and stuff >that is ferret related. I think they are cute, but I am trying to hey april! i've got one of these up, too, thouh admittedly with much less stuff than april's got up. just one design, but dammit, i like it. ;) it says "carpe viverram" (you guessed it, seize the ferret in latin) and has a lovely picture of tannis, sleeping with his tongue "stuck." it's at http://www.cafepress.com/weezilarchy the stuff's up at base price, no markup, i'm not making a dime off this. april, it'll be a while before i have the time to screw with such fun stuff again, but eventualy, i'd love to link our two shops and/or collaborate somehow on this kinda stuff. >From: Sukie Crandall <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: service and servers; thanks to Sandee >Ah, now, see, that is why it can make sense for some folks to change >servers when they can, just as we each change to more reliable services >and businesses in other fields as needed *snip* >From your explanation, though, I can see where it might simply not >be known by people with good servers that such hurtles to normal >functions exist for others (I didn't, especially since scrolling is >such a basic thing and has been for so very, very long.), and those >with bad servers might not realize that there are options which are >so much better than what they are suffering to use. actually the slowness of scrolling is less likely a server issue and more likely an issue with the computer itself. the whole FML downloads as a unit, so once it's loaded, it's the computer speed that has to do with how fast one can scroll past the extraneous (to them) bits of it. and upgrading a computer can be a little more cost-prohibitive than switching servers. of course, for someone with server issues as well, they might live in a region where good service isn't available. (this is one of the reasons i adore BIG -- the list, being text-only, is wonderfully low-tech, i coudl read it with PINE if i wanted!) anyway. geektalk over. -k- ===== ,',', __ \ `'`,/ \ ()o=; `'`','`/ . \/ / ( / \" / \(_ \(_ ferrets may nip, but people just suck.
