Stacey" Reply-To: "Julian H. Stacey" Organization: Vector Systems Ltd. Address: Holz Strasse 27d, 80469 Munich, Germany Phone: +49.89.268616 Fax: +49.89.2608126 (later) Web: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/ Mailer: EXMH [version 1.6.5 95 12 11], PGP available Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The gallery of FreeBSD faces: http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/freebsd_people.html that used to use GIFs, now uses JPEGs, thus saving mammoth download time, (but sacrificing a) a little quality on individual faces, & causing a litle blotchiness due to exhaustion of colour palette (I guess), at least when viewed under chimera) b) cpu rendering time, jpeg files on my local host seem to take much longer to load than gif, (but as everyone will be using http: over the net & only I access files direct, I guess no one else will suffer that.) The GIFs are still in place, but unreferenced from the html file currently, I'll probably add GIFs or JPEG viewing alternatives sometime. Invitation & instructions for new faces is on the page ... take a look :-) Julian -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
