Basically, bandwidth is site usage. Every time someone requests a picture (or any other file) to be loaded, the size of that file is added to your current transfer count. So if ten people request a 10 kb file in one hour, that's 100 kb taken off your limit. So each transfer gets you closer to your monthly data transfer limit. Ergo, the bigger the images and/or the greater the number of people who visit your site each month, the better it is for you to have a higher bandwidth limit. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have an appreciably bigger website running, and though it's visited quite a lot from SF readers of all shapes and sizes, I'v never once come close to reaching my bandwidth limit. This is a bit of a clumsy explanation, but I'm in a hurry and probably talking through my hat anyway.

A google image search says that the origami model has the right amount of legs for a scorpion, just look at this image. Edit: Fixed the link. Also, does anyone want me to try and make something else with origami?

Here is the chicken. It is based on Akira Yoshizawa's pidgeon, although most elements of it's design are original.  I would have got it up here sooner, but my digital camera wasn't working very well and it took a while for me to give up and just use my scanner. -------------------- Important Information about Stuff Posts: 258 | Registered: Wednesday, March 9 2005 08:00 |

Dolphin's clawbug pic is art from the loading screen in one of the Geneforge games. I'm glad that my origami is liked, and I will try to upload more tomorrow. I am still taking requests, as long as you don't ask for anything with an excessive amount of limbs. -------------------- Important Information about Stuff Posts: 258 | Registered: Wednesday, March 9 2005 08:00 |

Speaking of godaddy.com, didn't they air a controversal commercial during last season's Super Bowl, with the woman who "accidentally" had one of her bra straps come loose in the court room with the judge getting some air from the oxygen tank? I don't even know if anyone even remembers it, since it was aired only once... -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

So we talked in this thread about Origami and knitting (and maybe some more things I forgot) but we forgot one very important thing. One thing I always enjoy doing, is mixing all kinds of dangerous stuff, and see what happens. I have this small table with all kinds of accids, some powders (like sulfer) and other dangerous things (chicky, still remember that time we made that very stinking stuff and some of the acid dripped on my new pants?). I never saw something exloding, though... :( -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).
