A message from Rachel Heery of UKOLN on another thread mentions the URL
for DESIRE:
> DESIRE:http://www.surfnet.nl/surfnet/projects/desire/
I have looked at this web page, and their logo is (I think) an animated
gif (http://www.surfnet.nl/surfnet/projects/desire/desirelogo.gif). This
thing has been set to loop back, re-loading itself when it reaches the
end of an animated sequence. I presume it's not re-loading a network copy
each time, but the damn thing is still at it, thrashing my hard disk in
the background even as I write this.
Am I alone in finding this an objectionable, even un-acceptable bit of
web practice?
