Photo on the fly

This is an experiment in how Blogger can be used to make a photo journal.

This  was to assist another party  who was interested in starting a travel blog. As far as this blog is concerned it is pretty much relegated to a test-bed and I am not really interested in who visits it and what comments they make on it. My main content is on my website tempusfugit.ca, so if you are looking for any recent information that previously was featured here, I suggest you look there. 

One of the things that I find amusing is that only me and one other person ever visit this blog on a regular basis. It is just not that important and certainly not that interesting. I still entries in Google Analytics where a certain page seems to be popular, along with a check on what new posts that I may have made.

Has the ability to add photos been added?

Yes it has but the text in the list on the right (index of posts) overlays the default photo selected from the Camera Roll.

The "unsafe environment"

I blogged sometime back about that there was an over-blown reaction and response to the fact that Internet and computer users are unsafe when on-line. I have been reviewing my thoughts on the matter and I feel that I need to make another post to clarify a few points.

At the time, of the original post, I was criticized for not believing what I read in the press with regards to hacking. I thought that was strange at the time as I had been reporting my views on such matters for some time prior to that and that was definitely not the case. However, I still stand by my contention that the area of security is much over-stated and it is big business for those that are involved.

Since that time, Edward Snowden not withstanding, I have continued to review the software and hardware that is available presumably to allow the hacking of wireless systems. I continue to be amazed by the sheer scale of this enterprise.

It is my contention that most of those that make statements about security are those that have more to gain than loose. These are those that are using it as a business opportunity rather than an altruistic service for those that are really vulnerable. My personal situation is that I have a lot of potential risk, in the form of considerable cash assets that could be accessed on line, but I have yet to have seen any attempt to compromise my stash.

Apple takes down Blockchain app

Perhaps Apple think that all Bitcoin/Litecoin activity is related to nefarious transactions and wants no part of it.

The fact that Google (Play) still has such apps still in its store is more of a reflection that the Google platform is far less regulated and hosts things that are less than kosher.
