Tcl Frappr

[suchenwi]

http://www.frappr.com/tcl is a page based on Google Maps where friends
of Tcl can stick their needle in (33 so far).
The next time someone asks, "Who in the world uses Tcl?", show them the
map... :^)

Added myself. (40 so far)

Btw.: my town is already zoomable up to 2nd highest value
on google maps but only up to 5th on frappr. Doesn't frappr
use google's data ?

I get to 4th highest in your area, but that's with loss of detail.

I tried to submit one for 99734 (Prudhoe Bay, Ak).
It was rejected as an invalid zip code.
Maybe its the low population density?
Or they just ignore places that do not see the sun every day, but that
would include Seattle.

My initial enthusiasm about Frappr got a bit dampened after I noticed
that my old faithful W95 box at home can neither display the Javascript
of the map or even the members list, nor the Flash version they offer
as alternative.

Sigh... "don't try this at home!" :^)

My Commmodore 64 has problems too...

You think you've got problems - my abacus simple refuses to load it.

In defense of my W95 box: it still serves well for almost any purposes
I have (Tcl, surfing). Almost all of my fun projects have been written
and tested on it. "If the script makes it here, it'll make it
anywhere..." :^)

I've programmed Tcl in Alaska, although only as a visitor.
We had unusually, even gloriously, sunny weather while I
was there ...

I tried to get my work place on the map and failed, then noticed the
comment about the antarctic.

The weather can be very nice, lots of sun in the summer. There are
sunny days in winter when a few ice crystals in the air make it
sparkle.

Farther south, around Anchorage, it will be sunny a few hundred feet up
almost any of the hills around town (above the ice fog). But only if
the volcanoes cooperate (http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/augustine.php).

You may try to first stick your needle into a legal place, after that,
you can relocate it on a (satellite) map pretty neatly.
