Texas Loop Route 375

Hi All,

The Worldwide Highway Library continues her stay in the Lone Star state.
Keeping interest in the El Paso area, it shouldn't be surprised that
Loop Route 375 was next on the docket. Did you know that this route
helps form a circular traffic boundary around the border city? Spanning
from Route 20 in the north, near the New Mexico line, the route hugs
sharp-lifting mountains before crossing into Fort Bliss and then inwards
and clockwise into downtown El Paso.

A photograph of this route can be found at the Library's repository:

http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/repository.html#tx

It's no surprise that the Worldwide Highway Library is the most
comprehensive online collection of international road photographs. It
leads the way with its new standard of GPS mapping, classic
click-and-drag resizing for photographs (i.e., SHIFT+drag), and simply
put, a sheer volume of road photographs from eighteen countries. It's
no wonder certain sects of competition scramble and moan... They simply
cannot compete monetarily or in volume! :-)

To all those who click, enjoy those photos, and have an excellent weekend!

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

This does ZERO good if you can't adjust the browser window size, as is
the case with your site. And I know I'm not the only one who's
mentioned this. It'd be nice if you'd at least acknowledge it and do
something about it, but it seems you'd rather spout off "press
releases" instead...

Well, we know what your 'value system' is, now don't we?

Unless you've launched your own array of satellites you are using the
same GPS mapping that everyone else uses, and have been using for the
last decade or so. So it can't possibly be a new standard.

But, then, I'm not rational.

Doofus.

Take care,

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the feedback. You're correct that the browser window cannot
be resized. Such is the case w/ the upcoming Apple iPhone. Market
research indicates that Internet users would like certain degrees of
customisation in how photographs are represented. This part of the
phenomenon known as Web 2.0. All photographs inherently have fixed
borders, and in the case of computer screens, the de-facto screen
resolution is 1024x768. Superimposing a photograph over an HTML index
requires a subset of that 1024x768 resolution.

How do you work around the limitations of a fixed border? Simply put,
you allow manipulation of the photograph w/in the boundaries set forth.
Apple's iPhone allows it, as well as the Worldwide Highway Library.
In terms of HTML and Javascript, here's how the Worldwide Highway
Library gets it done:

Shift+drag: resize
Click+drag: reposition

The resize feature alone is just half of the puzzle. If the resize
feature is all to which you're aware, Calrog.com's photo-manipulation
experience may not be as useful, as you've indicated. (It would be just
one piece of the puzzle.)

The solution to the problem is using a combination of "resize" +
"reposition".

For example, let's say you wanted to zoom onto the Québec Autoroute 15
shield ( http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/qc-a15.html ). Effectively,
you would need to BOTH resize and reposition the photograph to see it in
your window.

Fixed borders, often referred to as "desktop resolution" in
techie-speak, need to agree w/ bulk-majority of today's Internet
surfers. Deviations to the norm, one standard deviation to the left and
one to the right, also need to be considered. For example, some
Internet surfers still happily use 800x600. In any case, you don't want
the picture to be larger than the surfer's fixed border, or else he or
she will lose out on some information and/or focus of the actual photograph.

There's light at the end of the tunnel:

Microsoft's Playtable, currently under production, will effectively
eschew the need for a desktop screen. "Standard" fixed borders will be a
thing of the past by then, as one inherently defines his of her border
(i.e., resolution) by the size of their tabletop surface. That can be
10 feet by 20 feet for some, or 2 feet by 3 feet for others. Even
better, one can resize and reposition photographs by hand. No mouse and
keyboard action is necessary. For further information, check out the
ZDNet video on Playtable.

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

Good ****ing lord. Did you use Dilbert Desktop's Jargonator?

I particularly enjoyed the part where he talked down to Adam, and then
tried to construct parallels between Calrog and Apple and Calrog and
Microsoft. Completely delusional.

Take care,

I haven't used a resolution that small in years. Your reply is even
more useless than your website.

Cool, so not only can I view your piece of crap website, I can resize
it into a bigger piece of crap! What other paradigms of digital analog
components will you think of next?!?

Check your links. TX Loop 375 goes to RI-5.
