Blossom Dearie
Arnon commented that from where he sits, ALL of the images in my blog are of Blossom (the leader of The Powerpuff Girls) saying “Stop leeching or I’ll kick your arse!” This is my cutesy (and blatantly copyright-infringing) way of discouraging the somewhat nefarious practice of hotlinking. In geek terms, this can happen if your client (browser, blog reader, whatever) pulls images off of my web server in an odd way, or if your client (or a proxy in front of your client) munges up the HTTP_REFERER header somehow. In non-geek terms, if you have this problem, then EVERY image in this blog will be replaced with the following image:
If Arnon’s the only one having this problem, then… Well, he was born to suffer, I guess. And he’s been the only one to mention it so far. So if you’ve ever noticed this problem, but haven’t mentioned it before, please comment on this entry and let me know. I don’t like hotlinking, but I certainly don’t want the countermeasures to mess up the site for innocent (or, in Arnon’s case, not-so-innocent) bystanders.
In other news, I’m bashing on Arnon today mainly because: (a) it’s fun; (b) Arnon and Rowan are coming to visit us in early March; (c) it’s hella fun; and (d) there’s nothing he can do about it. Um, at least not until he gets here. Oops.

Right, that’s one order of hot sex-crazed vixens, cancelled, along with the digital camera.
anyways, Blossom’s a red-head AND a hottie, so it’s all good.
