[I swear I wrote this blog before reading Gordon's, but I suspect a lot of people will be making entries similar to this one today]
A while ago, I signed up for the pro account of flickr, the fantastic photo-sharing program which I completely adore. A pro account isn't that different from the free account, it just gives you more uploading bandwidth. I don't really need a lot of uploading bandwidth, and I knew this when I signed up (I generally use less than 10% of my monthly bandwidth). I signed up because I saw a really good product that was starting up, and I wanted to sort of, y'know, recognize how good I thought they were and give them some money, support them.
Today they sent me an e-mail saying that, to thank me for my support, not only are they doubling my bandwidth (from 1GB to 2GB) and doubling my subscription period (from one year to two years), they are giving me two free pro accounts to give away as I please. Which is really very cool of them. I don't know who has sorted their business model out, but I bloody well hope it works (and given the way flickr has taken off, I suspect they're doing quite well).
Anyway, I gave away one of these accounts already, but if you're a shutterbug and need more bandwidth for uploading, comment or write me and I'll sort you out (but only if you actually need lots of uploading space- don't just ask for it for kicks- the free account is fine for beginners)

Well I'm comfortable blagging in public.
I'm was going to get me a pro account to sort out all my photos online. So if you still have a spare one, then yes please. Or do I need to grovel?
Well, I mean, you CAN grovel. But you don't NEED to. I'll contact you with the details.
YOU THIEF!!!! GET YOUR OWN POSTS!!!!
*shakes fist in mock comedy way*
Great though, ain't it. I'm sure which is better, this or my Blogger hoodie (wot I got for paying up for Blogger Pro before they were bought by Google).
Blogger gave you a hoodie?!? Screw those cheap flickr asstards!!!
Sigh- I'm sorry Gordon. I thought I'd have loads to post about today but, nada. It really is the most exciting thing to happen to me all day. I'm going roller-blading after work, maybe something interesting will happen to me then? If so, I'll replace this post with something more interesting.
Thanks. That has to be worth a beer or two for you sometime soon. And I grovel better when I'm drunk. Apparently.
I don't wanna hear about it!
Well, flickr said they'd contact me "in a few days" with how to get the freebies, so I guess I'll contact you then via flickrmail.
