Some space to write down what I was thinking about when I designed or photographed something.

For whatever reason, some pictures decide not to load. I see the errors in my log on the server, as HTTP Code 304. Something seems to be happening in the voodoo my shared host uses to make my domain seem to be on its own box … “virtual servers”. Because I’m lazy I’ve been using relative links to my pictures, rather than absolute links; this doesn’t seem to play well with the hosts voodoo, so, I’ll be using absolute links from now on and hope that resolves things.

If a pic isn’t loading for you, please leave a comment or shoot me an email (gordonthree at gmail dot com).

*edit* thanks to linear for pointing out that 304 isn’t an error, it just means the content hasn’t changed… so I’m not sure what the cause was for those of you who mentioned you couldn’t see a picture - hopefully whatever it was, it stays fixed!

  1. 304 isn’t an error–it means the file is unchanged since you last retrieved it. HTTP errors are 4xx or 5xx.

    Relative links are good. If you don’t see something, possibly your browser image cache is corrupt.
