fixed thumbnail images

twenty-eight years and a million words

I've noticed that the thumbnail images on this site have started to become inexplicably uneven in size. I've modified them so that they should now be of the same size (at least the long side will be the same 216px) but I'm struck by the odd fact that things on "the web" could still be unstable in this way. Way to go, browser manufacturers.

At the same time, I've embarked on a process of culling photos because I now have 60,000 photos on the site and they take up more than 25GB of drive space (impossible to back up on a single BR-D disk) and that's a lot for photos that are largely unseen.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
