Here are just a few of some things that I did just by copying and pasting from AE's GeneralTiles. For example, winking tar, the Serpent's Loop, the half open door, etc. But I also enlarged a few, and I used Windows Paint's pencil to add a few things. I'll be adding more stuff later.

Keep posting,

I'll jump in before anyone else does... It's worth saving as jpeg to help out our fellow 56Kers.

Okay, then how about... it's worth saving as jpeg because the server has a finite amount of hard drive space and bandwidth, and with unnecessarily big attachments, we hit those limit earlier than we need to. And when we hit those limits, then someone (guess who) will get to go through old attachments and selectively remove some, and we'll have much more strict limits for attachment size put in place.

Good enough reason to not be wasteful?

Edit: Okay, did a small test. Saving it as a PNG made it 9KB. As opposed to the 282KB original file. I'm not sure how you can argue that it's good to save it as a BMP.

I guess my point is that regardless of how fast your connection is, or what percentage of people have 56k or cable or DSL or whatever, it makes zero sense to save an image uncompressed when lossless compression makes it less than 1/30th the size. So maybe an argument about 56k modems isn't wrong, it's just pointless. IMHO.

Now, now, if stuff on the internet had to be worth something, we'd never have heard of Longcat.

...who is long, incidentally.

Pray tell, who/what is Longcat? I honestly have never heard of it until now.

That is not worthless; it's very clever scripting! And amusing to boot.

I see.

I must admit that it doesn't look nearly as interesting if you have scripts disabled :blush

Well, it still looks weird and long - but I can appreciate the scripting that would be used to make it extremely long.

It's so /less than a week ago/.

On the other hand, there aren't a great deal other 4chan memes I can safely bring here, now are there.

The file is now saved as PNG and is about 280ish KB smaller. :)

By itself that is not very impressive. What makes it impressive is the fact that the new file is approximately 1/40 of the original size.

What's the lesson here? NEVER, EVER, EVER post .bmp files. :)
