Thanks PG for the photos of your haul!

I can only imagine Doc's reaction to your photos and attempting to update the directory. I hope he's doing OK.

A big problem I find is that the site doesn’t like my pics from imgur anymore and half the time when I use the sites pic hosting abilities the pics are turned on their side.

I find it helpful to run my photos through a resizing utility which strips EXIF, ensmallenates* the image to something sensible, and re-encodes in a natural orientation.

WoV software is very much not an "imageboard", so image handling is an accessorial function, rather than intrinsic.

I think that imgur doesn't like hosting images for other websites anymore, and that may be part of the challenge.

Enjoy the day!

A perfectly cromulent word.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Ya I mean this thread hasn’t been a the chip of the day thread in years.

As far as Doc unfortunately I think he may have passed away. I say that with no knowledge but he had been having health problems for years, that mixed with disappearing suddenly and his age make me wonder.

Lol I think it’s been about 5 years and 30+ countries since I’ve written one of those. Maybe I’ll throw something together when I get back to Canada in April.

Yeah, I was wondering where those trip reports went.

Thought you found a casino without APs and decided to just go there.

No, we only went to casinos in Nairobi. Mombasa was too far away.
