We should do this for ILX!

http://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc

http://www.linuks.mine.nu/debian-worldmap/

It would be cool if it were integrated into account preferences to be able to set a location and then have this program render maps like these!

ha, that reminds me i must finally update ILXors in Europe (warning: large ever-changing graphic of Europe involved)

you can add helsinki, tallinn, tampere and lille in for me, if you like

and i see that hull, mablethorpe, bridlington and kings lynn are missing from the uk part. you can add them too

stevem that was cool

charltonlido , can you guys post on the europe map thread about that rather than cluttering the discussion of THE ILX GLOBE, please?

it's a mess gareth, no point doing the UK really - obv. France is sorely neglected and it's too vague in parts cos people were just saying 'i've been to numerous small towns in northern Estonia'

i think a world map showing the locations of ILxors might be rather sweet tho

i can try, be sure to loop! loop! loop!, but i cant guarantee anything

Having an automated one is cool beause, you know you can create a soomed image of Britain, for example!

with Photoshopped ilxors' heads instead of boring ol' dots.

MarkH, it would be probably able to automate that. I haven't looked at the program though.

Also, I wonder would be the first goofball will be to set their location to somewhere unlikely?

If none of the powers that be want to do this themselves, I can do this in a pretty neat way.

Do it do it do it! This would be very cool.

Do it, Jon. Take time off from ilx to give this the detail and attention it deserves.

You're just tricking me into posting less!

Did this ever happen?

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Monday, 14 June 2004 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

No, obviously it would require server admin help. I am still thinking of making a thread where you post your coordinates to and this thing parses them.

― Jon in R'lyeh (ex machina), Monday, 14 June 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I would like it, if that were done. Not that I have any sway, but it'd be cool.
