Rose Cat's Rambles

I'm taking Missy to the vet for the last time this afternoon. Time to let her go.

We took Missy -- who, as several of you know, has had chronic kidney disease for over three years now -- for her regular (as in every few months) checkup. ( veterinary details and general sadness )

This is a repost, quoted from a flister's LJ, with permission:

Somebody with this website is repostings several authors/fanartists fics on there without listing the name of the authors/fanartists on there and apparently in most cases, without permission. I've seen a good number of stories/fanart I'm familar with on the site (all of them most likely swiped from LJ and LJ comms as several LJ links to the original authors LJs are still attached), so if your fic/art [is there] I'd definitely tell this person to take it down immediately.

I hate plagiarists. I hope they get banned for this ASAP.

(Edited to actually put the site link in. Sorry.)

Anyone else having trouble posting?

My last post worked fine. Crossposting to randompictures was not so fine: the html kept borking in Preview. Paste stopped working. I finally got it to work by typing everything in from the original post. Yes, by hand.

I couldn't get the splodefromcute crosspost to work at all, despite typing in everything again. By hand. I thought maybe it was just Preview that was screwed up, so I posted anyway. No, still screwed up. All that showed up was the file name for the image. No video. I deleted it.

I tried it again in Safari, which was faster and less temperamental than Firefox has been lately, but the posting was no better.

I've now rebooted the computer and cut-and-paste seems to be working again.

Also, trying to follow the link to "Article" in the last post leads to Zombie Frank saying "file not found." That's why I added the link html.

I'll try the splodefromcute post again in a while.

George Zimmerman verdict: Former neighborhood watch leader not guilty in death of Fla. teen Trayvon Martin

WHAT. Just -- what?!

Not even manslaughter? Really?

This is going to get ugly. (As if it weren't ugly enough already.)

...Yeah, that's about it. A more coherent post to follow. Any suggestions for a decent photohosting site? (I'm using Scrapbook for the time being.)
