I'm alive, but no more arty headers

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 11, 2007, 4:35 PM
  • Mood: Not Impressed
  • Listening to: Metallica: Sad but True
  • Playing: Guild Wars
  • Eating: Healthy crap
  • Drinking: Home made cocktails
What a load of bollocks, you need a subscription in order to put images in your journal...? I just spent an hour making a new header as well. I guess I'll do without, I don't think DA will need me lining their pockets now they have people paying for pageviews anyway. And I'm still waiting on seeing my money from print sales.. Beginning to think I've been a bit shafted there.

Ranting aside, after a rather prolonged haitus I have kind of returned to drawing. I say kind of because in the next few weeks I'm going to be pretty busy again and I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up but I'll try my best.

Not a hell of a lot has happened since the previous entry last year (at least nothing substantial worth mentioning) apart from I got a house together with ~TDA-3d and the PhD is chugging along.

I recently came back from a conference in Rotterdam which was pretty nifty, and the next one is going to be in Japan which should make for a nice holiday without having to pay for the plane tickets. Gotta love those postgrad student perks.

Thanks to all those who are still watching me despite my bouts of inactivity, it's nice to know people have faith I'm still alive.

Or are just too lazy to stop watching. Either way it's all good.

DA does seem to try and rip people off rather a lot. I've heard nothing about complaints about the whole subscription system.
DA has turned into more of a buisiness than an art community I think ...
Nice to see you back though :3

I understand paying to access extra features which would be more intensive on DA's bandwidth (ie thumbnails on your deviations watch page and maybe even the ability to preview comments, although that's negligable in terms of bandwidth really), but having to pay to be able to insert an image hosted elsewhere in the journal is just dumb/elitist imo.

Oh well.

Ah, I see why youre so annoyed now. That is true, I don't think DA is taking bandwidth into consideration with the pictures in journals, more the fact that they think -and are often correct in thinking, it seems- that people will pay to be able to make their journal look pretty.
Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of people with simply beautiful journals and journal headers (yours being one of them), but your right. In a way it's just another bonus feature so people will subscribe even though having pictures in your journal or not doesnt directly effect DA in any way.

Im sorry if im talking bollocks in any of that ^^;
