Offtopic: Just a reminder to always remove GPS info from personal photos that are to be uploaded to internet. Photo in post gives me GPS coordinates on Westview Dr in Lake Oswego, OR.

If we are so concerned about our privacy or encryption, we should not make such mistakes.




Oops! I appreciate your bringing this to my attention. This is an unexpected downside to my custom git-based publishing scheme -- easy to leave out EXIF wiping in the asset pipeline.

In the future, it's really important to attempt such notices privately first. Even if the information is out there, making that knowledge public in a popular spot greatly increases the exposure. I'm sure that with your skillset you could have a direct line to contact me in less than a minute.


Thanks for posting his home address.

Great job

(To make a point you don't have to show full coordinates)


Even if I didn't, anyone can still download image and get it. Anyway, I have removed it.
