250K

On 30th June 2005 I uploaded my first photos to morguefile.com. They were fairly uninteresting shots taken with my old point-and-shoot Sony. In September 2007, I started uploading a few shots to sxc.hu.

Across these two sites, I have now had over 250,000 hi-res downloads (with a further 820K views on MorgueFile, which could be low-res downloads).

All in all, pretty amazing numbers and worth taking note of herein. And certainly testament to the popularity of these two sites.

The (not so) Silent Blogger

You may have noticed a large gap in this blog. Have I been remiss in my blogging? Nay not so. I've been off through Europe on the Sucata Run and was blogging furiously on the team blog.

First time I've tried any real-time blogging like that and it was a lot of fun, especially the photo-blogging aspect. A lot of people were following us as we progressed to Portugal. Thanks to all the readers/contributors.

Introducing... The GMail Ad Game

One of the many great things about GMail is the single advert you get at the top of your inbox. As with everything Google-esque, it is context-sensitive to what is going on the page and, particular to GMail, in the email on the page.

So, here is the, I admit entirely pointless, GMail Ad Game. When you send an email to someone's GMail account, add some random phrases/words/whatever and try to get GMail to generate really bizarre ads.

I'll post and crazy ads that I see from any emails sent to me.
