Here, random stranger, have my photo's.......

There are some points that are true for people using the internet and owning a PC. Multiplied by the millions online and you get a sizable number of people.

Here's the rules - you'll see that they aren't earth shatteringly odd or unusual. This is the scary part.


1) People have digital cameras of some sort.

2) People store their pictures on their PC.

3) People have web pages to show off their photos.

4) Google indexes web pages and images.


Can you see where I'm going with this yet ?

Somebody has already realised that all of these things will be true for some people and has written a Google-searcher. This knows the default filenames for photo's taken on various makes and models of camera and builds a Google search using one of these filenames and a random number.....then shows the world what it finds via the power of the big G. Again, that's Google - not God - that would be even more scary.

For those sensitive souls amongst you I should, BEFORE you visit the link, point out that some people have been known to have photo's taken without their clothes on. It's deplorable and shouldn't be encouraged but that's the crazy world we live in.

Most are, it has to be said, a wonderfully random snapshot into the world - quite literally.

Looking back it was rather a long build-up for what is basically a "look at this odd site" post.

Yes, well spotted. Tiredness and blogging do not always good bedfellows make.

If you were bored enough to read it though I'll still deem it having served a worthwhile purpose and that's good enough for me.

As I've said before, I'm easily pleased ;o)
