So I noticed that my bandwidth usage is abnormally high for the month but I was too lazy to look into it further earlier today. I think it’s the weather — it’s unbelievably hot and it’s making me completely unproductive. Anyway, I finally get around to checking my email after watching tonight’s Alias and I get an email from the lovely Shirphie (thanks girl!) letting me know about this site that took my layout from A Drop in the Ocean, a number of my wallpapers *and* to top it all off, they’re direct linking most of it. I’m so stupid for forgetting to install the .htaccess file ages ago. *hits head* I don’t even want to bother emailing this person so for now, I uploaded .htaccess so she doesn’t kill more of my bandwidth. I’ll have to get around to contacting her soon because there are a few images that she uploaded to her own server. Too bad I don’t know what language she speaks. UGH. If anybody knows and wants to drop me an email, I’d be really grateful. Also, does anyone know how to disable right-clicking? Any opinions on it? I can’t believe this. So annoying.
I’m going to do the Seven on Sunday because shopping and/or thinking about shopping always makes me feel better… 😉
Seven things you’d buy right now if you weren’t too broke to afford them…
1. A Marc Jacobs bag… soft leather, beautiful colors, and awesome hardware. Gorgeous all around, if it weren’t for the price.
2. Widescreen plasma HDTV. My boyfriend and I go to Best Buy to look at them. They’re so cool.
3. A new cell phone. I’ve had mine since the dark ages (1999). It’s so old and clunky compared to all the new phones.
4. A Laptop for Rob. He needs a new computer like, immediately.
5. A trip for Rob and me to traipse around Europe for a few months. We need the vacation.
6. This simple bracelet from Tiffany & Co.
7. A smaller house for my Dad. I always feel bad that I moved clear across the state and he lives in a 4-bedroom house by himself.
It’s about 1:45am and I’m not sleepy at all. I’m still fired up from learning about that site! Guh.
Aw, some people just have no class. Question, what does the .htaccess file do? I think I had to upload one for one of my galleries, but I have no idea what it does. 🙂
I think the language that girl (who stole your layout) speaks is either Polish or Czech. I thought it was Finish when I first looked at it but since I do have a penpal from Poland my guess is Polish!
I hope that helped a little!
How annoying!! *hugs* if you need anyone to send any evil emails to her, I am offering. hehe! I think it might be polish too.
There’s a clear difference between using a design as inspiration and just flat out copying. Plus direct-linking the whole thing! Copying/cheating irritates me *so* much… but amateur website designing is leisure… if you can’t design stuff, don’t have a website!
Rawr! I think I’m going to do the Seven On Sunday; it’ll give me something to blog about. 😉
Ooh, Kel! I know you’re a Bright/Chris fan too, and you may already know this, but I just read at Everwood Online that Chris has been cast as the male lead in the Sci Fi Channel original movie Stratosphere. Can’t wait to see him in something different! 🙂
wow. you’re from cerritos… so close to me.. heh I live in Montebello, not many have heard of it but, you might have.. it’s right next to whitter and pico revira.. I don’t know why you’d care but yah.. I like your site.. it’s kind of inspiring me to start a site again.
I hate bandwith stealers. Ugh and meanies.
It’s so sweet that you’d buy your dad a house!
i think it’s norwegian.. pretty sure. i think dictionary.com has a translator.
Hey Kel, http://www.ordinarydream.com/dc – they have a forum that their posters direct link a lot of your caps and I think some of the icons or whatever in their sig lines of all places. I just gave up on it for me, and figured I’d come over and post my stuff myself, but for you, oh hell no. You make it VERY clear to not direct link. *grrrr!* You may want to pass it along to the masses that other direct linking is being done too (like the network members)
I had to school the crazies at FF who were posting your caps. They finally stopped when the realized they were in the wrong.
Nobody messes with my Kel, yo.
