Thank you mr.maX, and as a reminder, please submit your location in latitude, Longitude with decimal degrees rather than minutes. You can provide your email and web site as well. A complete submission would be:

'linear', 38.967, -94.667, 'linear@linear1.org', 'http://linear1.org/'

People have found this site useful in determining their location.

And the locator is here.

here you go linear.

'blue', 31.083, -81.717, 'rpace2003@yahoo.com'

It's because krets lives about a mile from me. His asterisk is on top of mine.

I did a higher resolution version, but we're only about a pixel apart there. I may twiddle my coordinates to fix that. Might as well move myself to Tahiti....

heh. that's cool. you otta put yours on top of his.

Is there a more precise website to figure out your long/lat? Say, a zoomable map where you can actually get the measurements down to a city block.

Ah ha, I answered my own question. Go to yahoo maps and enter your address, then move the mouse over the center of the compass. The URL that appears contains 6 decimal places of lat/long.

My house is actually at 44.949800, -93.301800

-jiblet

Say allgood,
you posted coordinates in Iceland, but your From: tag says Sweden?

And for everyone with a - in their address, I'm working on a nowrap setting, but having initial difficulties. Stand by.

Oh man...that's what it gave me when I put in Vannas...geeez..hahahhahaa...let me look it up again...please don't post what I sent.
I looked again and that's what they gave for the lat and long in decimal degress and fractions of degrees. Someone check and see. I typed in Vannas...cause it the town in Sweden and got what they showed.

[1063793]


Vännäs (inhabited place)

Lat: 63 56 N Long: 019 50 E (represented in degrees minutes direction)
Lat: 63.933 Long: 19.833 (represented in decimal degress and fractions of degrees)

That was my mistake. I introduced a negative sign by mistake.
My apologies, you're back where you belong now

Hey thanks...I can see it!

ok here we go..

edit: i wasn't sure if you had mine or not, you have me on the list, but not my links (the coords. are for stillwater but duluth(what you had) is close enough)


[This message has been edited by JakeB (edited 06-03-2001).]

Ok, we're back up to date. Keep 'em coming.

hmmm, I don't seem to be on there..

-jiblet

You're just to the left of JakeB. Try the enhanced resolution mode.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

linear, this is a brilliant idea!

OK, back up to date. We're at 48 inmates strong now. Tell everyone else to get over here and sign up.

Thanks to everyone who's said approving things. Credit for the original idea should go to Allewyn, I believe. (The original thread got sent to the bit bucket somehow.)

I'm really just responsible for the implementation. I wanted to learn some DHTML, and this seemed like a worthwhile project. It's the first DHTML I've ever written, actually. No external libraries or borrowed scripts were involved.

Holy shit... Taxon man.. you are in the middle of nowhere!! same with Silence!!

'sonicsnail' 57.65; -4.35 'www.sonicsnail.com'

hope that was right!

Excellent! 50 inmates! Break out the pale dry ginger ale!

Thanks for the tag, linear. :0 But you do deserve 95% of the credit for implementing my idea when I couldn't follow through. My household move is complete now and the new job has begun so I'm back around more. Glad to see it's working out for everyone. My dream becomes a reality! Very cool stuff linear.

Hey Rinswind 2 you in germany? Wittmund? Anybody else wonder why there are no entries from africa or russia? Anybody out there from india? What gives? Jeez there are over 1000 members, here. Where are all the posts? This idea mega-scans!!!

No Webshaman it's across the border:

The netherlands-->(province)Friesland--->(city)Heerenveen--> (village) oudehaske...

But on the map it looks like a little distance. Are you close to the border? I think it is an 1.5 hour drive or something. It should be the same to Maghja...

<excuses> Sorry for the local conversation but this is my neighbor in here...<end-excuses>



~Rinswind ~

Gad, I miss lots of cool thing going on in this crazy place. I just can't keep it up with you huys, lot of things need to be finished RIGHT NOW.

Anyway, can I still step in?

Still working on the new site. Helples for this while.

Borneo?!? You're in, bro.

Thanks, bro..
Probably some of you here have never heard of an Island called Borneo. I'll tell you all about it later.

'u-neek',52.500,13.417','u-neek@spiritual-pixel.com','www.spiritual-pixel.com'

that should be berlin, germany

I finally got around to finding out my location, hope I'm not too late to be added to the map. This is a way cool idea . . .

'TheTrixter', 53.250, -1.417, 'steve@thetrixter.co.uk', 'http://www.thetrixter.co.uk'

Interesting factsabout my town:
"14th-cen. St. Mary's church has unique twisted spire of warped timber; the first town to be lighted by gas lamps"

Not too late at all.
Trixter, you get a cookie for having your entry in the exact correct format.
u-neek, sorry for the weird line wrapping. I'm still working on that.
Keep 'em coming. Tell your friends.
