Maybe I should bookmark this page or something. :D CapitolZebra@idkfa.com (CapitolZebra) idkfa Sat, 09 Oct 2010 11:13:05 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1027 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1022 :D kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Fri, 08 Oct 2010 15:42:14 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1022 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1021 Oh my god yess, I feel joy in my brains heart.

This key is generated once you set it to "Anyone with a link" security. In addition, there is a "view all unlisted albums" link, which you can give out, and has its own special authKey, and will allow somebody who clicks on that link to view all unlisted albums. So, if you want, you can have authKeys that allow certain people (who you give certain links to, or post the link to certain forums) to view the albums or the photos within, but nobody else. Unless that "authKey" is part of the link, Picasa won't show the album. It's not perfect security (it's only as good as the people you give the link to, or in this case, the forum you post to), but it at least gives you some control over who gets to see pictures. They aren't publicly accessible, nor do they come up in the search. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:54:41 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1018 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1017 I actually just used this function last weekend to share pictures I took with doing Oktoberfesty things. Brad really loves pictures so this was a way to not have everyone in the world look at them but still allow sharing with friends and not having to go old school and copy to thumb drives for people.

You at least have a pretty good reason, not just random unjustified paranoia.

That's a good point. Maybe I'll play around with Picassa a bit more and see if I can set it up how I want it.

Those would be just fine if someone searched them. For me, it's kinda a convoluted and complicated explanation for why I am paranoid about what people can search about me online. It has to do with my biological father, and the fact that he regularly searched me on google. He hasn't talked to me since I was 17, but every couple years he sends me these random emails to my school email addresses talking about the great work that I'm doing and other random BS that he would only know through Google. So I just try to limit what he has access to search online, and I try to lock down privacy stuff on any online accounts I have... I know, I'm insanely paranoid... haha. Feel free to laugh. If it wasn't for that, I don't think I'd care so much about most pictures.

If you set it like that, people can't publicly search for the images, and can only arrive at the image if you use a link (with a significantly difficult identifier to guess) that's generated by Google and used by you wherever you see fit. I don't see a specific "don't make me searchable" setting... could've sworn I'd seen one at some point, maybe they moved it, or removed it in lieu of the per-album settings. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:39:24 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1009 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1005 Right, but the access control options include making it public or private or secret. Right? CapitolZebra@idkfa.com (CapitolZebra) idkfa Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:34:24 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1005 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=1004 Hmm. Guess i don't worry about that, nor do I understand why I could be. I only have 1 public album which is my rainier climb, and to some degree that's totally cool if someone searches those. In prep for the climb I looked at a ton of other peoples pictures of the route and mountain that were available. Kinda depend on that it really. I doubt I would make personal pics public though, mostly ones involving drinking are probably off limits.

I don't like the idea of my pictures being searchable to the general public.

Also because that was an early free image hosting service. And I actually remember my password to it.

Imgur has no such restriction. I recommend using them for one-off kinda stuff. I forget how to remove that restriction on the Picasa images. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Thu, 07 Oct 2010 15:37:00 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=992 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=991 didn't use imgur, but did try it with picasa and got nothing using the link.

They'll give you a link (the first one) to embed it into another page. Copy that link. Mosey over to idkfa, and click the "Image" button (to the left of the grid). Paste the imgur link to the URL field, and hit OK. Let me know if that works. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) idkfa Thu, 07 Oct 2010 15:00:08 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=990 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=989&msg_id=989 So I was trying to put a picture in a post but it just wouldn't do it, I was sad. I have a .jpg file saved on my computer but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put it in the post.
