TWP - Drinks 2

Two versions of the finished photo instead of simply reposting the original.  I am happier with the left, but there are flaws in it that keep me from being absolutely happy with it.  There is a problem with grain due to the low light conditions it was shot in.
I was able to remove most of the hot spots that were painfully present on the red glass.  The other two glasses have them, but it is somewhat glassy.  The red glass originally had six spots.  Five from the ceiling fan, and basically a reflection from my flood lamp.

TWP - Return of the Snowman

Well DSL is back up and running, and I am back on my home computer. So that means you get to see the photos the previous two Twice Weekly Photos were test shots for.

As a bonus to make up that the last two weren’t even rotated (the auto rotation failed, and didn’t have the time on that computer to do it manually) you can also see more polished versions of the previous two.

Drinks will be up Wednesday.

[Site] Might be some changes come December 16

Dear customer,

Due to the increasing number of complaints about abusive free web hosting account usage, FreeHostia is forced to discontinue the support of outgoing connections to remote servers for all free web hosting accounts. This restriction on outgoing connections will become effective on December 16th, 2008.

If outgoing connections are vital for your website (for example, if you are using RSS feeds or any other information from remote servers) we would recommend you to consider upgrading to a paid account. You can do this using the Upgrade section of your Control Panel.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best Regards,
FreeHostia Team

Unless I am missing something that should be obvious, I do not believe this will effect this website for any of you.

The only thing that I suspect currently will be affected is my visitor counter as it sends information to another server.   RSS feeds should be fine as I have all of this website entirely self-contained now that I have been off of Blogger for months.

There are a few posts I’ll keep my eye on as they are using my Flickr or youtube accounts for their photos.

Same as the previous TWP.
