Current Status of my World

I have been at home for 32 minutes, and 46 seconds. Before that, I was out crashing a party.

I just added a nifty set of geographic tags to my blog. Now there's a keen little G and M on geo-enhanced posts, representing GeoURL and ACME Mapper respectively. I don't quite know what I'll do with the data, but it seems like a nifty thing to have. The coordinates are also included in my RSS feed for completeness and potential post-granularity Localfeeds posting.

Technical details: I used the meta Blosxom plugin to tag individual blog posts with geo coords and the interpolate conditional plugins to then optionally add them into my feed/page. The RSS feed, being a well-behaved RDF, has the wgs_84 namespace in it and accompanying geo:lat, geo:lon tags describing the various RSS items.

If you can read this text, you're either on a browser that doesn't support CSS or one that supports it badly. You've probably noticed that my layout is a bit choppy and perhaps even ugly. My layout here is designed to work in all browsers that support CSS 1 and 2 and was designed by reading the W3C CSS recommendations. It was tested in the most CSS-compliant browser I know of, Firefox. If you want this page (and others too!) to look nice, I reccomend trying Firefox - it's completely free and can also block those annoying popup ads out-of-the-box.
