Hi Viatologists,

Photographs equal knowledge. As of 25-Jul-2009, the Worldwide
Transportation Library (WWTL) has watermarked 7.45% of its road
photographs.

Through the Operation Emboss initative, the WWTL will lift its ban on
JPG file-sharing once every photo has been watermarked. Operation
Emboss is our way of distributing knowledge to the viatology community
while--at the same time--creating an avenue where anyone can share our
roadside photographs w/ the mainstream Internet community.

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

No one wants to steal your shitty-a.s photos. Oh, and using some sort
of scripting tool for Illustrator, the GIMP, etc., you could probably
"emboss" (translation: put your shitty site's shitty logo) on all of
these photos in a few hours. It's not that difficult unless you're a
computer illiterate moron, which you probably are since your site has
the worst navigation scheme ever. I had to click 10 things to get to a
blurry and dark photo of Interstate 5. f.ck that.

I ended up watermarking my photos after I found the wiki people
stealing them. I used a short script, which did about 5,000 photos
in 45 minutes. I added a web page to my site to describe the process,
complete with the script that I used.

BTW, I don't mind sharing for educational uses, but I do like to be
asked first, and I do like to know where my photos end up being used.

But, but, but that is 10 "hits" for the price of one. That is
Carl's ego accelerator. It gives him something to talk about
while he is going at it with his butt-buddies.
