Thanks.  I was just out for an early morning hike, and the magical
lighting sent me sprinting back to my car for my camera.

What "porn and malware"?  Seriously.  I'm just seeing a single banner
with a series of ads, including Circuit City and Disney.

Seriously.  I've looked at your stuff twice, and both times was
presented with an ad for "hot dates" in my home town.  Sleazy.
I wouldn't use that hosting company if I cared about my reputation.

With Firefox I don't get those.  It may be the pop-up blocker built
in.  Might be a reason for the difference.

When I go to the posted link I get something about facebook, and if I
click on the larger size for the picture I get some spam add.
Nothing NSFW though.

I'm only using it for free hosting of full res sample images that can be
accessed from Usenet and web forums.  My serious hosting is elsewhere.
And I fail to see how it could possibly have any impact on my reputation
-- the Internet is chock full of ads, many far worse than these.  In any
event the original claim wasn't sleaze -- it was "porn and malware", and
I've see none of either -- have you?

I turned off the regex filters that I added and viewed the page a few

I didn't get what looked like a virus fake virus warning again but I got
some other winners:
http://passion.com/go/page/banner_js_728x90&pid=g893865-pmo&no_click=1
http://cdn.euroclick.com/contents/39600/WaxOffLaptops_728x90.gif
http://cdn.euroclick.com/contents/34677/EarthquakeWarning_728x90.gif

I would never visit www.mediafire.com at work.  The "hot girls" banner
could be overlooked but the fake virus warning banner is for malware.  
Despite many protections I don't dare visit sites with embedded malware
or anything looking like it at work.  It would be risking my career and
financial future.

A personal photography site can be served from a home connection.  I
serve a few personal web sites off DSL and it has only been saturated in
a few cases.  The worst bandwidth eater is
http://www.pixelmemory.us/Photos/Nerd/Propane/ because people search for
"Mushroom Cloud" every time Bush makes a big decision.  I move popular
photos to my ISP's hosting space when needed.  Traffic is low now
because I haven't had time to catch up on my photo processing.  It looks
like 7500 RAW files are waiting to be looked it.  About 400 of them are
Halong Bay day and night photos taken with a loose eyelash under the
shutter :P

Depends on which services are being used.

No "porn and malware".

>I would never visit www.mediafire.com at work.

Most employers take a dim view of any personal surfing on company time.

>The "hot girls" banner
>could be overlooked but the fake virus warning banner is for malware.  

Did you check it out or are you just guessing?

I'd say you probably shouldn't be doing personal surfing at work at all,
but I don't see how there would be any real career risk just from this
site.

>A personal photography site can be served from a home connection.

In some cases, yes, but not in all cases, and it's not something
I would choose to do in any event because of the risks.

Pity it's not sharper, even with the sharpening artifacts.  
Still, it should be good for a nice 5x7.

I'd go back another day and have another go at it.

It actually made an excellent 8x10.  :)

Be my guest.  Post it here.  Talk is cheap.
