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.

(My father drove a Cutlass when I was a but a wee powder monkey. Arr! Those be the days.)

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!

I always get odd looks when I travel to New York or Washington DC and tell people that Bermuda is only a 2-hour flight away.

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

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.
