Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

London Panoramas

Ever since the Google Maps API was released, I have been waiting for people to start integrating these in novel ways (even I had some ideas), and whilst idly surfing earlier, I had the fortune to find the London Panoramas Google Map. Returning to the TLD I discovered literally hundreds of such implementations each containing a map and a varying degree of information.

Out of these varied and interesting ones include:

• Burton Junior Football League - Ground directions etc
• Peter's Bat Map - Peter is Aged 8 and this is a school project
• Pakistan/Islamabad Earthquake injured
• I have no idea
• Sam's World - Self Explanatory
• NYC Private Schools
• Irish Pubs in Denver; and lastly and more worringly for both the content and speed of implementation
• Sex Offenders in Oklahoma City - Complete with names addresses and photos

I've been thinking of late how to implement a map/graphical representation of photos into the site, and perhaps a travel map and I think something like this is the way forward.
