Flickr's marvellous map search thingy has now finally
got street level detail for the whole of europe, so no more
guessing on the low res sattelite image when geotagging.

More quality demonstrations that americans do, contrary to popular
belief, 'get' irony.
Mind you a couple of the comments aren't quite so hot on the case.

Scout: Find your photographs in Flickr's Explore

noreply@blogger.com (gimblet) — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 07:35:00 +0000

This is rather funky for all those flickr users.

It checks to see which photos, if any, you've managed to get on to the flickr explore page.

I've managed a stupendous ONE photo, and that was beginning of last year. Ho hum, keep on snapping.

I love it when people expose blair for the weak minded charlatan he really is, when he can't rely on an autocue and his ersatz gravitas delivery masquerading as political skill, he comes across about as masterful as, well me frankly.

Thanks Mr Youghurt

I couldn't have put it better myself, which is probably why I haven't, and someone else has.

From my own micro experience, awhole host of decent workers, some solid analysis and a decent budget can all be woefully misused by a bad project manager (or worse still no project manager, just someone who thinks he is).

Isn't it lucky we have so many competent people waiting in the wings to help turn around Blairs misguided actions.

An old onion classic, but replace ethniklashistan with the attempts to build a happy-go-lucky multiethnic iraq and suddenly its disturbingly relevant.

Venezuelan President Ticked at Pandemic | Gameology

I find it utterly bizarre that Venezuala is becoming the new enemy. Obviously for US strategic interests, a healthy dose of latin american self-determination and thumbing nose at the Monroe Doctrine is far more damaging then some bloke in a cave.

What i find strange is that the bush administration's attempts at portraying Venezuala as some hotbed of 'turra' have been laughable at best. Why then have i seen the mainstream press and politicians in this country going along with this?

Who knows, I do wish they wouldn't though.
