Nov. 6th, 2007 12:07 amThanks for the responses to my photo hosting test. It seems that a few of you had slight issues seeing both pictures. In those cases, it seemed related less than if it were a hosting issue and more like it might have been a function of the viewing style or LJ page structure. It also seems that the Comcast flakiness since the last time I had pictures in my LJ is nowhere near as widespread as it was. Strange, but hopeful I think.
Now, a couple of you pointed out differences in the two pictures. I was not expecting this. On my screen, it seems that the Flickr-hosted pic is darker. The file hosted on Comcast is unaltered from what I have on my own hard drive. Flickr does apply some conversions in size of displayed photos, but in this case, I am displaying it in it's native resolution. Only thing I can think of is that some variations must get applied once the file is uploaded, possibly including web color space or gamut rules. Those more familiar with such matters probably know more of this than I do, or I might just be babbling outta my butt. Any insights?
Thanks again!

Testing 1, 2, 3
Nov. 4th, 2007 11:07 pmSo, Comcast has done a Comcastic thing and increased my webspace from a measly 25MB to a whopping 1GB for each account I have. They also did a craptastic thing during the upgrade process that requires cookies to be placed on those PCs that retrieve data from those servers, even during remote loading. In other words, since I use that server space to host files that I use as part of my journal entries, if those reading my LJ have configured their PCs to reject 'third party' cookies, they cannot retrieve the files. This tossed a monkey wrench into my posting methods. Some have complained about my 'photo posts' being devoid of pictures. So, I am left with a dilemma as to how to go about finding reliable server space. My first choice of using my own domain is unworkable till I set up hosting. Using my home server is a possibility, but it's rickety, old and I did not want it to be subjected to constant spidering by web robots and search engines. LJ has space available, but it's soley for pictures, and the auto thumbnailing wrecks attempts at page layout. So, I dusted off my old Flickr account in the meantime and will give that a try.
To that end, here is a test. Same picture, different hosting. First is off of Flickr, the second from Comcrap. This is to check if the Comcast Cookie Conundrum is still in effect. Also, since some workplaces restrict site such as Flickr, there is a chance that hosting will be thwarted too. If I may impose a bit on my readership, can those who have gotten this far into my post tell me if they can see both photos?
One:
Flickr
Two:
Comcast
I have a big bunch of photos to include in upcoming posts, and I dont want it to be an exercise in frustration. The latter has been one of the big reasons for my apathy in posting.
Thanks in advance!
