| A few small updates. |

I made a few small updates and bug fixes today:
1. Inline image re-sizing. If you post an image that is wider than 800 pixels, the image will automatically be re-sized to a width of 800 pixels. Additionally, the image will link to the original so that it will be easy for anyone to click it and view it in full size. This applies to images posted in profile comments, forum posts, article comments, and almost anywhere else on the site.
2. YouTube stuff. Just a small update and bug fix here. You can now use the [tube] tag with the new "youtu.be" type addresses to link to videos. A bug was also fixed with embedded YouTube videos which caused some of the controls not to work properly.
As always,
Enjoy... |

These activities were hallmarked by an attitude towards material wealth that has often been a sign of monster-dom in even the earliest instances of literature. “…the soldiers found piles of money, possessions and clothes, taken from the Beans ' many victims.” (Thomas) In addition to being murderers and cannibals, the Beans were also hoarders, a condition as indicative of their evil as taking human life. This attitude can be attributed to similar monsters; those found in the epic Beowulf. While the unprovoked murderous intent of these two monsters clearly separates them from the ranks of civilized men, their description co . . . [more] |
