TrustFlow: can anyone provide hosting or animated GIFs?

[ciphergoth]

The new version of TrustFlow is nearly ready to roll, and it's pretty cool. In fact it has several neat features I've never seen on an LJ meme before, and it'll be interesting to see if other memes start doing things the way I demonstrate after my example.

I just need two things.

Hosting: I'm not 100% sure I have anywhere to host it. Can anyone offer to host this thing? I'd like a slightly bigger machine than the 64Mb midget it was hosted on last time, because it was very popular last time and it might be again; bandwidth charges shouldn't be too bad since it's nearly all text. I'll make sure your name is in lights next to mine on the relevant pages :-)

Animated GIF: Can anyone out there design animated GIFs? I want a nice one to put on the "In Progress" page to indicate "yes, progress is being made on calculating your TrustFlow results". It should be very small, so it doesn't cost much in bandwidth to serve it. I have in mind something like a representation of a network of people, with trust pulsing along the arcs and lighting up the nodes, but feel free to design whatever you think is best.

I asked on trustmetrics about this but no response so far...

you could try asking my old landlord andlosers about the hosting; he's one of the folk who run rum and monkey (http://www.rumandmonkey.com/) who run a heap of memes and have a server that ought to quite happily take that sort of load, and I imagine they'd be happy to get some extra ads served (nice google text ones) to help with their costs.

http://www.empty-spaces.net/ is at your disposal. Sub-domain setup, own FTP, It's got a Gig of space and 80Gb of transfer per month, and once i remember to poke their support site it goes up to 1.25GB of space and 100Gb of transfer... If you have a domain you want to redirect to it, that can be done to. Just drop me a reply here and i can get it set up...
I can probably do the Gifs too, but i've got a bit on my plate in work and personal life atm.

There's still projectcolo as your a member, may be worth while telling the others if you do host it there first.

I assume it's not you, but I just wanted to check if you were behind this.

(Assume it's not you becuase of their horrible ToS!)

I found an animated GIF that would do the trick... now to get hosting up.
