My trusty canon A70 finally bit the dust... or did it?

The camera I use in situations where things getting beat up is a likely possibility, i.e. snowboarding or midget tossing, finally bit the dust after something like half a decade of use. Actually, it didn't really die, the CCD just went out, rendering the camera useless, and merely showing black and white flickering on the screen when in shooting mode. But - alas - there is hope! Perhaps my trusty canon powershot A70 shall live once more! Apparently there is a recall on the CCD chip on this camera and a bunch of others. Rad! In fact, my brother got his fixed not too long ago and so did my mom. So I actually knew I could get it fixed, I just wanted you to think that my poor little camera was gone for good.

Is Adsflip broken?

I recently signed up for another free ad network, adsflip.com. Adsflip is one of many free ad networks, including spottt, entrecard, and adgridwork. I was all ready to set up my ad with Adsflip, and despite multiple attempts to do so, this is what I saw:



Note the broken image. That is supposed to be the ad I just uploaded.

When the "Create this Ad" button is clicked, nothing happens - it simply brings you back to the screen where you choose whether to set up an image or text ad.

Additionally, it seems about 50% of the time, the 125x125 ad on my blog is broken:



Please comment and let me know if adsflip is broken for you too. Anyway, I'm serving free ads for someone in the meantime, so if adsflip doesn't fix their ad creator module I'm going to have to drop them like a bad habit.
