8277 - Where in the world is Scottobear's Livejournal?

[scottobear]

I just updated the geocode location on my journal... it's a lot simpler to do now.

Now I just have to reapply it to Newtcam and my homepage proper.

Maybe if I get bored enough, I'll write a greasemonkey script and submit it to LJ to sort of automate it... but I know they're not too crazy about stuff messing with the console.

There's also a current location field now for updating via the web, but it seems to be unrelated. (Though that one will make carrying my gps around kind of neat for walkabout posts in the future, or location-encoding photos taken)

I saw Newtie...I saw Newtie on the Newtcam.
He is getting a big sway-belly.
Oh, Scotto..I love you too.

oh, thank you so much! :D

Newt's tummy only shows at certain angles. :D

So am I the only one who has no idea what this entry is about. It's like the Latin again I can figure out the gist of it, some computer thing, presumably to give you more functionality, but the particulars are all goblygook. :)

basically, you can put on a map where your journal is (down to the street address, if you don't worry about stalker-types)

and then folks can go to a website, and see all of the people's journals in a given area.

for example - here's a bunch of websites that are within 30 kilometers of my house -

it's not too useful, just sort of nifty.

Ok gotcha, your right it is nifty, if not overly useful.

I'll probably use it to stamp locations on my walkabout entries, but that's about it.
