Number 27 - Photobucket


I have made an album based on my favourite author: Dorothy Dunnett. The first book I ever read of hers was: Game of Kings. The titles of the series are based on Chess Moves. Hence the chess photo. Maragret Lennox is there because she seduced and betrayed the main character Francis Crawford of Lymond.

Anyway, this is about photobucket, not my obsession with Dorothy Dunnett.It looks like a fun site. I do have some videos at home. Every now and again my thirteen year old runs the video feature on my camera and captures me in a compromising moment. But ... I am not going to put it on photobucket because there is no privacy option. That is a thing that would concern me. I like the posibility of limiting access to material I put on the web. Thus far I have not worried about applying these limits to my blogs and Flickr but it is good to know that I can if I want to any time. I may try and take a video of my dear little dog Biskit sometime and immortalise him on Photobucket (Thanks Elizabeth O for the idea)

I was not keen on the flashy advertising that came up linked to the site or the online chat. Someone also mentioned they may have received a Trojan shortly after using it. But I am doing and i am sure our Boroondara firewalls are adeqaute to the task.
