pr0jectZ , thanks for that tip. Damn and blast I’d forgotten about I.E 6 and adding that tag. Thanks and thanks all for further comments
You do realise, though, that people need only go to view->source and then copy the url of each image into the browser address bar to be able to copy the image?
Also, there are programs available that strip images and pages from sites for offline browsing.
I once used one such app on the official Boris Valejo site, though with permission
Hi Laz(z)arus
You have more simple ! On the recent Navigators you have the “Historic”
So you have all the images on your computer during many days since you clear it
You can see it without work “on connection” !

ps And if you have a Pc you have an another place where the images are classified
Windows/TemporaryInternetFiles/Iec5/…jpg or …gif idem with Netcape or other
Really cool site and a talent to shout about.
www.tumptytumpty.tum/tumpty n/tumpties/
Provides a directory listing of the images in each gallery, perhaps add a blank index.html to each resource folder. That might slow the baddies down a bit, although not by much I’d still have to bet.
Maybe you don’t want googlebot indexing your images http://www.google.com/bot.html is there to help.
Another thing you could do is to screen grab the, erm, screen, and then paste into a paint package as a bmp thus giving you an exact copy!!!
Now that is quick
I often do this when screen grabbing games I build.
IDEA
or we might write a custom browser and use a system wide keyboard hook the intercept the prnt-screen keystroke, then all we’d need are the window names of all the capture proggies out there under the sun so we can poll for them and close their darn terrorist processes whenever they when they pop up. Lets call the system “Protactinium” and sell it to sheep for lots of profit. Then the sheep won’t be able to Baaaa without our say so. Muhahahahaha
But you can’t never forbidden someone to film or photography his screen with a numeric camera

Point taken and realised with all your comments.
Perhaps I should of gone the Flash route.
Oh well, what the heck.
Thanks all.

“Sothink SWF Decompiler can extract the shapes, sounds, images, sprites, fonts, text and action scripts from a Flash movie. Besides SWF format, the resources can be exported in several formats so you can use them in other applications. The images can be exported in jpeg and bmp formats. The sounds can be exported in mp3 and wav formats. The action scripts can be exported to text file(s). The shapes can be exported in Sothink Glanda format.”
I’m trying to figure out what might work better, but I think your method works quite well in all honesty, what you want really (I suppose) is to make abuse of your work something that is both deliberate and relatively actionable. I think you have done so.
I chould spend all day looking at your site boozy
I’ve been wondering when you would put up a gallery , very nice work on your site.
Hey Flooze,
Dunno if you know, but I’m a pro web developer, so I know a thing or two. Thought you might like to see this:
[url removed]
The way to get around this is to put an html index page (named to whatever you have set up in the dns) into each of the image folders, so that when they goto this style of address, it shows the page instead of the folder listing. Otherwise, people will just download image after image.
Gotta make it hard for them, bud.
Also, seeing as the page will only show if people try to hack your site, you could put a cheeky message on the page
Hope that helps
Oh, also, where abouts in the UK are you? I’m currently resident in Bristol and was just wondering about what the industry is like where you are?
Thanks Lazarus you’re a gent.
Many thanks for this tip, one that will be handy for future reference.
you can be very smart about copyright with flash too, many possibilities there … and it is so much fun
I believe Flash should be used sparingly
Only use tools where a tool is best used all round
Wow, lots to look at. I don’t allways appreciate your style, but after browsing all the images I would say I’ve been converted Really good stuff, personally, ‘Wine Sniffer’, ‘Koala Spoons’ and ‘Fair Thee Well’ stood out for me. But there are too many pics that appealed to me, to mention here.
Good page BTW, leads you straight to the goodies. And for the record, I too was fooled, but don’t worry you’ll allways be a floozie to me
hello boozie! i look again and again your work,2d and3d, and it’s really superb! very very modern, with this touch of “fifties” so fine; bravo! hope you find all the audience you must have… friendly M. oh, and miss floozie, as aurick sayed, is a man? well, nobody’s perfect…
The piece that you have named “rebirth”
in gallery 2
is the tree a Willow?
(associated with rebirth)
Ah ha! I knew it, I knew you must be a professional! But I never dreamed you would be male!
Very nice site! I too am a webmaster and have designed many sites and yours is simple and effective. Your last name also surprised me: Half of my family are Bannermans! Cool!
