Moving to Flickr.com

Pretty soon, the photo galleries that we've hosted at http://pictures.seiler.us and http://vater.us/gallery will be going away. The server itself has an unreliable connection to the internet, and the galleries are using an excessive amount of storage space for a pro bono service.

What does this mean for you? If you want to share your photos online, you'll have to find another photo-hosting service. The Seilers are now hosting theirs on flickr, and you can see our gallery here. You can sign up for a free flickr account (it uses your Yahoo! ID, you may need to create one). The biggest limitation is only showing the most recent 200 photos. We've bought a "pro" account ($25/year), and can upload and share unlimited photos. We definitely think it's worth it. Hosting on flickr means having BIG PIPES to upload/download photos, not the tiny, unreliable connection we were using before.

Don has downloaded your photos (except for some new ones) and can burn you a CD if you need it.

Don- did you know that you spelled "thrilling" wrong in your title...or was that intentional?

Ha didn't notice that. So much for my perfect spelling award in 4th grade. Thanks for the heads-up!
