My new pair of Instagram images websites

I posted earlier about a #flyfishing website I launched.  I didn't actually launch one site, I launched two.

Both sites use the same code, use the same database.  Both displays images from Instagram, they each have different topics.

I'm not hosting images, they stay on instagrams servers.  I just read the information and try to make sense of it and display it in a manor where (I hope) it's easier to find the pictures you're looking for.

The homepage shows details of images and video's, these are the very latest that have just been posted.

I'm also reading how many likes a picture gets, so I'm able to work out who's posting the most popular photos each day, or who's most popular.

Then there's the people who just like posting lots of pics, so I'm showing a top 5 of those too.

Coming next will be a picture of the day, the photo with the most likes.

I want to show a history of these too, so I'll add that in.

Instagram only let's you search by one hashtag at a time.  But many images have many tags.  This is what I'm looking forward to adding the most, to be able to search against multiple tags.

Pike on the fly?  Two hashtags?  #flyfishing and #pike? 

Or trout caught on the fly in Colorado?  #flyfishing #trout and #colorado

Take a look and let me know what you think....

My new fly fishing website

Tonight I have launched a new #flyfishing website.   It's only a rough initial version, but it's enough to get started.

I simply wanted to be able to make better use of the information in Instagram to help display and search for photographs.

It's really lacking in features right now, but I plan to keep adding things as time goes by.

Bank Security - Card Skimmers

I'm not too impressed with my bank right now.

I went to withdraw some money yesterday and thought the card slot looked a bit suspicious.  So went and withdrew my money inside.  I wasn't convinced it was a skimming device and was in a bit of a rush, so didn't say anything.

But I ended going back at lunchtime, to ask them for confirmation that it wasn't anything suspicious.  The girl I spoke to went and spoke to the manager and came back to tell me that I shouldn't worry.  They check the machines daily and they'd notice if something was attached.

They didn't even come out and have a look.  What if it's removed before they do their daily checks?

I've since done a bit of Googling and found a pictured skimming device from a newspaper article in Malta:

It does look very similar to what I saw:

I've since tweeted the bank a few times, but nobody can confirm that this is not a skimming device or not.
