Gravatar is a service that links your e-mail address with an avatar icon of your choosing. It has been gravely ill for many months, but it was supposed to be back, so I decided to give it a spin on the weekend. Oddly, www.gravatar.com has an ugly redirect to site.gravatar.com where I’m presented with a bit of introduction and a sign up form. The site was terribly slow on Sunday afternoon, so I postponed until the next day. I shouldn’t have; this is the result. The bit about being temporarily unavailable is not quite accurate though, but the maintainer did apologize. On March 2nd. Because of the independence to a single site, I still think a pavatar is the better system. Oh well, off to better things… ;-)
