Member Map...

[RobD]

I got to thinking it would be nice to see what forum members were in my area. Short of going through the memberlist and trying to remember where every city in MN is, I couldn't think of anything.

Today it dawned on my that I can use some Google maps and API to do the job.
About 1/2 through the project, I discovered that someone else has done the heavy lifting for me.

I set it up.. There's 2 stages:
Fill in your info here... Just the username and location. Can be your address if you wish, or just the city and state. Zip code works as well.

It can take a few mins to an hour for the map to update.
Check the list here.

Maybe this thread could be placed somewhere where only members can see it.

Hell, more than half the guys here are too paranoid to click links or even put a general location on their avatar.

Put tin foil over the mouse, and you'll be fine.

In addition to my hat?

No. Not in addition to your hat.

That would be bad.

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously, and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Total protonic reversal.

I managed to mess it up already and double tapped. Second entry has correct spelling.

Done, this is cool!

[chudrockz]

Done!

Though I'm moderately paranoid, I figure I'm on so many lists and have so many red "x"s next to my name already, what additional harm can one more do?

[LarryFlew]

Done

Only if you believe that knowing your city would somehow lead to your exact address being obtained...
