So, something evil happened today…PHOTOBUCKET DECIDED TO TAKE A GLORIOUS SHIT ON MY PICTURES.
I know this is not something that people would consider evil. But it is.
According to dictionary type folks, evil is being morally bad, causing injury or harm to someone, or marked by bad luck or events.
Photobucket has harmed me…by fucking with my hobby. Well, fuck you photobucket.
I’ve been on my feet, running around at work, I come home, and behold – no pictures on my blog! I work night-shift tonight…so I don’t have time to get mad at photobucket.
When someone gives you evil lemons, throw that shit out cause that lemonade is gonna be hella bad luck. Instead, find some solutions to your lemonade problem, like…FLICKR.
Yep, so, bare (or bear) with me as I switch over to the picture beast known as Flickr. Some pictures may not be fully visible at the moment…I want you to just pretend its the funniest picture you’ve ever seen in you life. Lean back in your chair, laugh your ass off, tip your hat to your computer screen, and go about your internet browsing.
I will slave away fixing this issue…slowly. Mostly cause it sounds like work. And I’m not into working right now…like…for my hobby…cause I’m already doing that in the reals.

And by “like” I mean “I know that feel, bro”. Goddamn internet. All we want to do is love you, y’know?
November 15, 2013 at 11:41 am
Oh, Bee, I wish things were simpler on the internet.
Why doth internet betray us all?

My old English is about as good as my current English. FUCK.

I’m sorry to hear about photobucket… But that service has been trash since its inception imho. If flickr doesn’t do it for you, imgur is pretty damn fast and free. 95% of the pictures on reddit are hosted on imgur I would guess, so if it’s good nuff for them…
Anyways, again, so sorry to hear about your problem. Welcome to the woes of being a webmaster! <3

does imgur let you upload unlimited pictures???? with unlimited bandwidth?
November 15, 2013 at 12:41 pm
I believe your answers are here:
http://imgur.com/help/images#howlong
Also, yes, unlimited bandwidth.
Most people just upload them and link directly to the image instead of the page imgur gives you a link for. For example:
November 15, 2013 at 12:45 pm
oh balls – they delete them if no one sees the image in a month!
November 15, 2013 at 1:09 pm
That’s interesting. The exact link I provided you says right at the top “As long as images are getting at least 1 view per 6 months, they will stick around forever. If an image does not receive even 1 view in 6 months, it may be removed to make room for new images. Images on pro accounts will never be removed.”
I’m not sure where you read 1 month.
November 15, 2013 at 3:03 pm
My bad – I don’t know why i subtracted five from six. Still, I can’t chance my pictures being deleted :(
November 15, 2013 at 1:11 pm
Of course there’s always that pro account for $23.95/yr too… then those picture live on forever.
But there’s always flickr too. lol
November 15, 2013 at 3:05 pm
D: NO WAYYYY I DONT HAVE MONEEEEY.
I’m tryin flickr out right now. This is like light-years beyond what I’m used to. It’s like the Mercedes of image hosting. It makes me feel ridiculous uploading my shitty drawings when the home page has like breath-taking photography.
OH WELL – ITS FREE <3

i don’t like flikr because of their unfriendly linking system but hey, you can’t complain about the 1 terabyte of free space.
November 16, 2013 at 3:32 pm
Yeah, getting links to my images is a bit of an obstacle course… do you recommend another site?
November 16, 2013 at 3:49 pm
i use googles picasa web. because, well i already told you why i love google so much…
while you only get 15gb of storage (upgradable), photos under a specific size doesn’t penalize your storage space. like forever.
google is wiizard and bear friendly.
November 17, 2013 at 9:07 am
Oh, I didn’t know smaller photos don’t count in Picasa… that sounds kinda cool, and it definitely sounds wizard friendly. I’ll check it out when I get some time :)
November 17, 2013 at 9:15 pm
you’d have to some research for the exact photo size but unless you have a one million megapixel camera, you don’t have to worry.
November 17, 2013 at 11:15 pm
Woah. That is definitely evil and terrible and I’m pretty sure I would go into fits if something like that happened over on my side of the interwebs. I hope you get it all sorted out soon :-/
November 18, 2013 at 1:17 pm
RIGHT? It’s taking me forever (between work and online class projects) to switch all the images… I shouldn’t have fucking posted so much LMAO! Goodness.
November 18, 2013 at 1:20 pm
Hahaha that’s what you get for working so hard to entertain us! Also– I just tried to spell it “intertain.” That’s pretty bad. I think I need to go back to bed.
November 18, 2013 at 1:21 pm
Grrrrrrrrrrrl, I so can’t judge you on that if its a sleeping problem! You don’t even KNOW. I just slept four hours after a night shift and now I’m wide awake. Worst thing ever because I’m working again tonight :l
November 18, 2013 at 1:48 pm
You work the night shift? Madness, I tell you. Madness! I did it for a year– it was like being a member of some underground subculture.
November 18, 2013 at 1:53 pm
LMAOOOOOOOO RIGHT??? I actually have a post kind of set up in drafts about it…but…I have no time this week to make pictures.
I like it so far, I just wish my body and mind were on the same page… it’s really fucking with my non-work time. You know what I mean?
November 18, 2013 at 2:50 pm
Totally know what you mean– I did it so that I could edit a book all night, so it was absolutely worth it. But it makes social interaction an extra level of difficult :-/
November 18, 2013 at 3:05 pm
Oh really? What book?
Yeah, social interaction with a night shift team is basically non existent… People really keep to themselves I’ve noticed… It felt like I was the only one having conversations.
November 18, 2013 at 4:52 pm
Sometimes the best conversations are those we have with ourselves……… or so I tell myself.
Aaaaaand I may have tried to write a book. Who knows. I have someone editing it now and then we’ll see what happens. *sigh of defeat*
November 18, 2013 at 4:58 pm
Um, Aussa, that’s freaking amazing! Good for you!!! Am I allowed to ask the genre at least? :) I bet you’ll become a best selling author and forget all about us lowly wordpress folk, lol!
November 18, 2013 at 6:19 pm
Haha, whatever!!!!!!!!!!
It’s memoir-ish I guess… it’s just a recounting of the year I spent backpacking in Asia– what led me to make such a ridiculous decision and all the aftermath of it. It’s like my blog… on crack. If you can imagine haha.
November 18, 2013 at 12:20 am
GAH!!! Yeah….definitely not into doing work for a hobby….how annoying!!
November 18, 2013 at 1:18 pm
Riiiiiiiiiiiight??? Uuuugh, I’m like…half way through my posts in October.
What site host do you use for your blog??? I just realized you have tons of pictures on yours, THUS YOU ARE AN EXPERT!
November 18, 2013 at 4:55 am
So sorry to hear about your Photobucket experience. They are big time suckers indeed!
Switching to flickr/picasa is a good idea. Hope they don’t turn out to be douche bags just like Photobucket.
P.S. – Your blog posts are witty , captivating & kick-ass!:D
Keep Writing gal!:)

November 18, 2013 at 1:19 pm
Their cap on bandwidth is not worth it. I’m okay with flickr so far.
November 18, 2013 at 10:32 am
Oh my gosh those are the funniest pictures I have ever seen! Awesome.
November 18, 2013 at 1:20 pm
LMAOOOO Ben, you sir, are excellent at following directions. :D love it.
November 18, 2013 at 6:50 pm
Are you saying that other people didn’t see the pictures. I guess they just weren’t paying attention.
November 19, 2013 at 3:06 am
Excellent Blog.. I like your way to write.. I bookmark your blog link. Keep update…
December 2, 2013 at 5:56 pm
Glad you liked it!
November 19, 2013 at 6:38 am
Bastards, and here I was holding out for some more epicness!
I suppose your mouth words will do! ;)
December 2, 2013 at 5:57 pm
LOL!!! I know right?? The photobucket man is always bringing me down… I like that you call it my mouth words <3

That’s right, you deserve better. That relationship wasn’t good enough, especially, if it’s going to treat you that way. Ok..that’s my relationship advice. ; )
November 21, 2013 at 10:36 pm
Excellent relationship advice. I wholeheartedly agree Rebecca! I’m kicking photobucket to the curb!!!!!!
