moving

well, i've finally found a place with graham and evan. it seems like it will be a very nice fit for us and i'm happy that i'll retain some privacy in the basement of the place. not only will i have my own room/full bathroom, but also a very large "rec room" and half way kitchen with a freezer & fridge. the rest of the house is great too especially the living room, so i think we'll have some great times there. i am kind of concerned about graham not having enough space to work on his art etc, but i imagine we'll work something out if he needs to use part of the living room etc.

anyway, so aside from signing the lease for that and meeting Herb (the santa-clause like landlord) we went around old town to find a place to eat, and i can't believe i'll be living so close to a place like king street. i'm going to get some fantastic pictures!

speaking of which, i just researched a little aout online user content rights and management for places like facebook & flickr etc. it seems very extraordinary that web sites (especially those VERY popular ones) are so greedy as to steal whatever they want from whatever you upload and not even make it clear to the users that it's going on. though, i think it's unlikely that somewhere like flickr would steal your photos especially if you actually take the time to setup your privacy settings for all your uploads (which i certainly do). now, facebook...i just upload and go. i really don't care what they steal as the resolution of the photos isn't all that useable anyway....and hey i'm an unknown so if i'm discovered because facebook steals one of my images and uses it in some huge ad....it can't hurt my career.

mom's calling gotta peace...
