Nice stuff. Now they should have a mechanismn that you can fetch the stuff also with GoogleEarth. I'm pretty sure, sooner or later we have something like that.

And congrats to Argos and Jens. They currently have whole continents for themselves.
And Triangleman rules the Atlantic Ocean. :-)

Avast! Triangleman may win against Particle Man every time, but if he values his loot, he'd better stay well clear of the North Atlantic. These be the traditional hunting grounds of the Dread Pirate Moose and don't ye forget it.

I'm using IE 5.0. I tried to install 5.5, but I wasn't able to
jump through MS's hoops. I downloaded the minimal IE 5.5
which was 7 MB of files, clicked on the installer, it tells me it
needs a different version of the installer (huh?), I download
and install the different installer. Click again to install IE 5.5,
it tells me it needs to go back online and download IE 5.5,
which is 26 MB. Multi-hour download. I start downloading.
Maybe 40 minutes later it crashes. Try to resume the
download, it starts at the beginning.

MS software isn't bad-- it's just that the people who make
and market it are evil, soulless, bloodsucking demons.

I can find an alternative browser on my own, but can you
tell me what software the map requires?

Nice! My location is slightly off, I'm about 10 miles west of the pin - but that should save me from cruise missiles!

Mine is not exactly where I live. In fact, I've never heard of the roads before or know of the location (when zooming). I'm not originally from Roselle, so its not so strange.

I've added myself twice. In fact I should add myself 3 times, but I stick to official adresses.

Some very beautiful people on BAUT

Wow. It thinks I'm over by the college. I'm halfway across town from there, near where I-5 and 101 intersect. (For those interested in attending my birthday party.)

For people wondering about the exactness of the software, it'll only be precise within reason because you only enter your zip code so the middle of the area is probably where everyone's placed.
Nice site tho ToSeek, I added one for my zine! (anyone who subscribes to that and wants to add themselves before the next issue PM me)

I'm scared now

At least there's a few hundred miles seperating us, some you should have plenty of warning...

When's your birthday, Gillianren? Is there a theme? Don't worry, I won't come. I don't want your friends beating on me for not seeing the Princess Bride.

This is great ToSeek. Everyone should do this! In the wise words of Ben Stiller, "Do it".

Is it possible to edit an entry? I posted my photo onto the site, but I can't get it to appear on the 'pin'.


Edited to query: Paulie Jay - is that you doing the entertainment at a Roosters-Knights match?? Cool!

Can I add a picture of myself without adding myself a second time?

Ditto Pumpkinpie's question, I couldn't add a picture of myself earlier.

As the admin, I can "edit members", but that's confined to deleting them. If you want to add a photo, put yourself in again, then PM me and let me know I can delete your non-photo entry. That seems to be the only way of doing it.

Actually, we're about 2 hours drive away form each other, but near enough!
Yeah that's me in the photo all right - although I must come clean and say that the 30,000 people in the stadium weren't actually there to see me. It was taken a couple of years ago at the football (Rugby League) playoffs and I was playing just before kickoff to rev up the crowd a little. Actually, AGN Fuel being from Newcastle would not have fond memories of this game as his team was soundly thrashed!

Actually, I live on the Central Coast but they didn't have that as an option and I didn't want to get caught up with the Sydneysiders, so I went for Newcastle.

And as for the football, I support the Rabbits.....so it's been a long time since I have had ANY fond memories!

Argos bumped me to number 6.
Argos, you owe me dinner and drinks!



Ikyoto's smilie.

Don't be so modest, Paul. I've done some cyber-searching on you in the past. You have a lot of fans. Why don't you post your website (forum)?
