Friday Ark #105

We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?

You can find out how to board the Friday Ark at the Arkive page (construction underway).

Problems 9/23 11:49 PST: The server hosting Modulator broke Friday, 9/22, at about noon. I probably have permanently lost any trackbacks sent during the past 24 hours and assume comments did not work. Also, I may have lost any mail sent in the past 24 hours. I have quite a few links that I prepped yesterday but could not post and will put them up in a few minutes…check below the break in each category.

I know there are some regulars that have been missed but I will probably not catch up with anything else until tonight.

Note for Haloscan Users:

Haloscan started (the end of July) rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted “too rapidly” by the same host. I don’t know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I’m sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad appears to be doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh….
