"got downloaded less times a day than the Flash plugin" - surely that 12mil figure is largely automatic updates and such, which isn't exactly a fair comparison..

I agree with the fact "it's just a browser", and that Firefox has never been that good on OS X (thus Camino exists), but over 8million downloads is still a lot..

Well, it's leaving the permalinks to your site (the @), and, err, the images are still linked to your server.

rewriteCond %{HTTP_referer} !www.ultravias.com
rewriteRule .* /something_else.jpg [L]

...?

Hmm, since you store your content in Mercurial, couldn't you just push the repository onto the site, and have GAE render the text to HTML (then cache it)?

Seems like porting all the text files to a database would take a lot of effort, when you could use your current static file system..

Mercurial is written in Python, so it shouldn't be all-that-difficult to (basically) run a hg repository on GAE, and have Yaki pull data from that..

That said, I haven't read much about GAE, so I could be missing something..
