Speaking of New Experiments

I used the Picnik integration with Flickr to put a very small, and hopefully unobtrusive, watermark on the last batch of photos I uploaded over there. It’s an experiment at this point. Don’t worry, I’m not suddenly going all professional on you, I just want to see if I can put a watermark on the photos, to sort of keep my name out there should someone decide to use it in a blog or something, without messing with the enjoyment of sharing the photos too much.

I may continue to do it with my photos going forward, I may not. I still allow any non-commercial use of my photos, and I’m still willing to send a higher-res, and watermark-free, version to anyone who asks for one to print. I’m not a professional, I take photos because I enjoy doing it first and foremost. If there’s any “payment” from other folks it’s seeing them enjoy the photos as much as I enjoy taking them. I doubt that will change.

Let me know what you think.

  • Linked – Research: Where Managers and Employees Disagree About Remote Work

    They point out a hypothetical situation where the employee looks at their “work” day to include the commute and maybe some other time, but the manager isn’t. That’s a huge disconnect. Speaking for myself, I will never volunteer to go back to an in-office or even a hybrid position because of how much time you spend going back and forth and the limiting factor of needing to be in that place for the entire time in between. Why? If the work can get done from anywhere, why would we expect anyone to spend so much time going somewhere else every day?

    Thanks to Andy for the pointer to Microsoft’s patch for the Secure Sockets problem that they claimed before wasn’t a big deal. Oh well, at least they did patch it!
