Where's Jim?!

I'm about 15 minutes away from heading out to the Myschievia Work Weekend.

So, this weekend you may be wondering, Where's Jim!?

I threw together a little something to answer just that question. It uses a portable GPS receiver and the mobile network to upload my location on this planet and display it so you can see where I am. In most cases the GPS is working fine and it's accurate to about 30 feet. Sometimes, the GPS device hiccups and it resorts to cell tower based position, which is only accurate to about 1000 feet. Other times I have no mobile coverage so it doesn't upload my location at all. With the current version, you won't know which method was used. You'll only see the location and the time that it was uploaded at.

Check it out. If you think it's fun, useful, or sexy in a stalker-ish way let me know and, when I get back, I'll made it better, nicer looking, and filled with more features.

Send lots of text/email love while I'm away.
