How to free over 4 GB of space on Windows XP

Using TreeSize Free, I found that I had over 4 GB of files taken up in:
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
All those sub-folders are temporary, but they haven’t gotten cleared out. CCleaner doesn’t touch this folder, either. Very odd. I deleted them and haven’t noticed anything wrong yet. *knock on wood*

Someone — who bought some prints from me and loves how my photography is growing — suggested I submit some of my photos to Josh Rubenstein’s ‘Photo of the Day.’ I read the submission guidelines and I’m unsure if you give the copyright over to them by sending them a photo.

Don’t fake friend me

Someone on Flickr added me as a contact — and promptly removed me — knowing very well that I’d get notified about the new contact.
Not cool and very sleazy.
I had one of his photos faved, but not anymore. You’re on my bad list. Good day. I said good day!

Slowed down for one night

I’m tired. I estimate about 700 miles of driving in the past seven days. Hung out with Arnold and Jason Stone more than a few times (including photowalking at Balboa Island and Huntington Beach). Then, poker night on Thursday with the regulars, minus Casey.
Last night was so chill, though. Thanks to Jordan (Respond [...]
