GIGO: words unreadable aloud Mishrogo Weedapeval       Wednesday 4 September 2002 Stupid .Mac bandwidth limits Somewhere, someone pointed to some very nicely-done political posters, at http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/PhotoAlbum1.html Unforttunately, Apple's inflexible policy about bandwidth has caused the site to become unavailable this evening. You'd think that spikes would be permitted as long as the volume doesn't stay high for several days. I used to work for Apple, so I had a free mac.com account and I have been trying to decide whether to sign up for their .mac services. This bandwidth thing is one huge flag pointing me in the "I don't think so" direction. One other is the stupidly long URLs that they force on you, and the even longer ones that whatever software they're using (webobjects?) generates. 11:47:21 PM   comment/      PCT Hikers' Journals Well, they're mostly into Washington by now. Here are some of the journals from this year's crop of PCT hikers: On the PCTA site: http://www.pcta.org/plan/journal.shtml all three of the normal folk are keeping fairly decent journals. The triple-crown guys may or may not be; but I'd guess that they're too busy walking to write much. At any rate, I couldn't find anything since May on their site. on pcthiker.com, Navigation is more difficult here, but several of the folks on http://www.pcthiker.com/pages/journals.shtml are still going strong. not much time to look, but I couldn't tell whether there were any 2002 journals on http://www.hikertrash.com Maybe next year ... or the one after that. 11:22:33 PM   comment/      © Copyright 2007 Doug Landauer .
