I got an email from Windows Live today detailing some free online services for members. The one that caught my attention is SkyDrive (http://windowslive.com/Online/SkyDrive), a 25-GB online storage space which includes a public folder. I had to do nothing at all to access it other than agree to the terms of service. (I actually read that for once. It's obvious, harmless stuff.) This may be a good way to give each other stuff. I think we all have Live in one way or another, we've "friend"-ed each other, and we know who we are in real life more or less.
I still don't know how to point you to my public area, where I uploaded innocuous files of several types to see if anything would stop any of them. I imagine some of you also received the same email. So yeah, whatever. Just throwing it out there.
. . .
Edit 2: I think this (http://cid-43861f7087ae655e.skydrive.live.com/embedrowdetail.aspx/.Public/000%7C_-%7C_gamecube%7C_logo.mp3) will work.
Yes it does. So no need for Live or anything else to link this stuff if it's in the public folder. Cool.
Edit 3:
Direct link to an image (http://zdnrug.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pLXC7jAlpTXw7oRJOxBfoIuwE2UHPFgAdI3I3CnDzV292elfwDEELNnbF8r-N-3RvLJprbj4E2h8/Extreme%20Bus.jpg) . . . also works.
Direct link to MP3 (http://zdnrug.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p9Wh-Pe0P5j1Kf-bVEsnVGlFJlt7WwSnWxo7ieQGg5_rOt9EbANssiqnzGHoMZmHLbQqXoYid5xQ/000_-_gamecube_logo.mp3) . . . also works.
Hell, this beats my nerfed Roadrunner webspace by a mile.

Huh, neat. Just got mine.

I've got my own webserver here at home.

Isn't your upload speed limited, though? I had an FTP server set up on my dead PC. That worked well except for the speed. Actually, I can launch it on this PC too. I just don't want to. With 2 PCs, one was the workhorse and the other the fast and fun one. Neither is fast anymore. Ha!
