Sending large files
Thanks to the Sydney Morning Herald I've discovered YouSendIt, a facility to send someone large files quickly, securely, and easily! Instead of the file clogging an in-box, it is uploaded to their servers for up to seven days and a link is emailed to the recipient. I've tested it and the recipient's emails looks like this:
Hello from YouSendIt,
You've got a file called "Dsc00398.jpg" (49 KB) waiting for download. Please click on the following link to retrieve it. The link will expire in 7 days.
Regular link (for all web browsers):

The photo is one a friend took at my cocktail party. The link will only be there for four days while they upgrade their storage space. I did have some people wondering if I had sorted the colours of several packets of M&Ms, until they realised those colours don't come in regular packets. In Las Vegas there is an M&M shop, with three floors and fifteen shades of M&Ms. I bought six colours and mixed them in the bowl.
