[KLUG Members] at-home cops, evading the

[Bill]

Just to close off this thread, here is what I have done:

I set up a "temporary" index page on the rented space (the 700 megs I 
mentioned in the initial email) and posted the pix

http://anhonestdesire.com/

It's hideous ... be prepared. 

I am ill with the bubonic flu and not disposed to putting in more time 
making it pretty. I should probably knock the font down smaller but that 
can wait a day or two. (I usually put up web pages for visually 
handicapped friends and just automatically opened the font to +6)

The whole idea was to make the pictures widely available to family and 
close friends who might have internet access. In my email giving them the 
URL, I warned that the initial page contained nearly 200 images and that, 
even in thumbnail form, they would take a while to download on a 56k 
hookup. The thumbs are linked to hi-rez pix, suitable for printing.

In a couple of months, I will pull that site down and will, hopefully, 
have enough of the commercial site ready for posting to give my 
(potential) customers something to look at. 

When I pull it down from there, I will re-work it and bridge it across the 
full amount of disk space @home provides for a few more months. Hopefully, 
soon after, the commercial site will generate enough $ to allow me to get 
the @work T1-T3 line to my home.

Probably I am the exception, but I think the market for home based web 
sites is even bigger than the market for fast surfing. I have a 
honking-fast wire into the house ... probably because it's the only one in 
my intellectually repressed neighborhood. And that wire is just screeming 
for heavier use!

Thanks to all those who made suggestions about this matter. They have been 
filed away against some future rainy day when I just get too antsy to wait 
any longer!

:-)
