If you don't recognize the number, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tailen sums it up in his LJ. The short short version is this: MPAA demanded the takedown of that string of numbers, claiming that it was "copyrighted". Thousands of geeks promtply said, "fuck you, MPAA" and began posting the number in their blogs, on YouTube, etc.
In other news, I have been having a lot of fun with Flickr lately. They have uploading tools available which you can download and install on your computer. Then, when you want to upload a bunch of files, you can just queue and upload an entire directory (optionally specifying a set for them to get into and tags for that set), and walk away from your computer while the entire upload happens.
I should mention that ever since I got a digital camera back in the summer of 2004, I've taken lots of pictures, given any excuse. I've taken pictures of conventions, parties, places that I've visited, people that I visited, etc. The last I checked, my entire "pictures/" directory on my hard drive totals 2.1 Gigs over the last 2.5 years. That means there is plenty more for me to upload!
Here are highlights from the 3 sets that I've uploaded so far:
Pictures taken at Roadside America, a rather large miniature village:
Pictures taken at The Western Pennsylvania National Wild Animal Orphanage (Anthrocon's charity in 2006):
And finally, pictures taken at The Dexcon 9 gaming convention last July:
Enjoy!
