Thank you Livejournal for FAILING.

I'd like to extend a round of applause to Livejournal and their team of Down Syndrome retards (no wait, that's insulting to people with Down Syndrome who are usually pretty nice people...).... their team of dumbasses... who insist on keeping avatar sizes at 40k

You'd think 40k isn't much, but try a few million users at the same time with 100 userpics, all refreshing pages full of comments with all those userpics at the same time. It's more bandwidth than you think...

I used to use Adobe ImageReady for animated gifs, but now it doesn't work that way anymore D: I lost my favorite gif editing tool!

I still haven't gotten the image I'm working on down to 40k ;_;

[richaarde]

Eh, you can still say a lot with a 100x100 still frame.

[bigdoug]

It's not that. I'm trying to make an animated picture and I'm having trouble getting it under 80kb without the animation ending up choppy looking.

Annoying.

I'm just so impressed with all the skills you have... that's super-hawt!
