Part of me wants to grumble about how long it is taking for Gravatar to get their system back in full gear….
However:
- They are doing a lot of work, and for free.
- They are hosting almost 100,000 gravatars, again, for free.
- This is almost definitely a side project (ie, not a full time job) for the maintainer(s), something done in their spare time.
In light of all that, I’d feel like a bit of a jerk to actually complain. ;-)
I’ve been wanting to change my gravatar icon for a little while, though; I chose the Gentoo “g” because that was my favorite Linux distro for a very long time. However, it’s been quite awhile since I used it, and I’ve thought of changing the avatar to something else… but I guess I’ll have to wait until the system is in full working order.
Tons of kudos to the Gravatar team for all their work; I look forward to seeing the new system when it’s operational.
Heh - I hadn’t even noticed a problem!
Well, as far as them operating properly, I don’t think there have been problems… at least, not many. For which, again, many congratulations are due to those responsible for Gravatar.
However, there seems to be no way to change an avatar at the moment… ah well. It will be up soon enough.
