redarmy11 10-27-07, 04:59 PM Nice idea but could get v. v. messy.
Nikelodeon 10-27-07, 05:00 PM How about you add us.
Nickelodoen: England.
Redarmy11:Taiwan.

how about you lazyass do it yourself? how hard can it be, geez
besides, I dont know your exact location in englad
Nikelodeon 10-27-07, 05:15 PM I couldnt be bothered to add the rest of my homeboys, my little gang will have to edit themselves in.

sisyphus__ 10-27-07, 05:15 PM Very cool. I had almost lost the USA. But where does one go about inputting the information......?
redarmy11 10-27-07, 05:17 PM Really we should make a page in the encyclopedia, then everyone can edit the same map.
superluminal 10-27-07, 05:23 PM It needs to be dynamically interactive. Having people edit a graphic file with their own scribbles will rapidly degenerate into a complete clusterfuck.
i think there is a google tool thing that can be used for this, but I dont know exactly what it is or how to use it... does anyone know?
superluminal 10-27-07, 05:30 PM i think there is a google tool thing that can be used for this, but I dont know exactly what it is or how to use it... does anyone know?
I was just about to say that. I've seen maps that can be linked to your website that allow users to place a "pushpin" at their location and edit their info. That would be pretty slick.
redarmy11 10-27-07, 05:31 PM Google Maps:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=107273723136232290891.000001123fa24ea1df57b
No idea how you create one though. Someone needs to read up on it. ie: preferably not me.
cosmictraveler 10-27-07, 05:33 PM It could be better just to Google the locations of the members you want to
know where they live. Most have already put in their bios where they are
from.

Yep. That's exactly it. But I think a site admin would have to set it up to be accessible on this site, to members only. I don't think any of us weenies can just set one up.

No it would be better, ie lovelier, to have a big flashy map like the one we started with filled with extraordinary geographical revelations. It's just such an awful lot of work is all.

Nikelodeon 10-31-07, 02:13 AM OK! I've figured out a way to do it.
First, everyone give me your co-ordinates according to this site (longutude and lattitude). Zoom out if you dont want to be too specific.

Nikelodeon 10-31-07, 12:23 PM Wow, North Korea on that map is practically invisible.
I don't know about them, but our electricity grid was infracted by the Running Dog Imperialists of Seoul. Envious capitalists.

Well I don't want to step on your toes Dom, but I setup a Frappr.com one for Sciforums.
You can find it at:
http://www.frappr.com/sciforums
or
http://sciforums.stryderunknown.co.uk/frappr.html
Just remember when adding yourself not to put you EXACT house as obviously some people on the internet could pay unexpected visits or start stalking you.
I've setup 3 pins and one Square pin, they are Boys (blue) Girls (red) and an Orange square for 'Meet ups' in case we ever set places up for Sciforums meetings in the future. (Although if it's anything like the local 2600, the numbers usually speak for themselves)
I'll administrate to make sure spambots don't start dropping in their favourite cafe's etc
Entirely up to you the members of Sciforums as to whether to participate, to be serious where you are or where you'd like to be.
Nikelodeon 11-09-07, 04:22 AM OK I added myself. Any nut jobs and psycho axe-murderers out there, BRING IT ON!

I use PNG all the time, I prefer it in comparison to GIF and JPG (Less loss in compression), however PNG alpha channels never really conveyed properly into Internet Explorer (although Vista's version does handle it)
