Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I guess I should put something besides SF?

Whatever makes you feel comfortable. You can go as high level as USA, although that'll confuse folks.

I had my zip code in there, but tested by rounding of my longitude and latitude and using those instead, and it's kinda aroung there. Anything you can search on in google maps, basically. It's exactly the same algorithm. I just need to optimise it so the algorithm runs as few times as possible.

eta: Vortex, you do realise this is all your fault, right?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think I'm the only buffista in my zip code.

who? me? I just made a suggestion! No one ever listens to me, how was I supposed to know that this would happen!

Okay, Jon, the map is up on the css side too, and the page is well ugly. Beautify at will. Meanwhile I'll see what I can do to speed things up some.

The status is NOT quo.

ita, the map is so very cool. One possible bug I found is that it seems two people with the same address can't both show up at the same time. Originally I had just put my city and state, but when I looked at the map and realized ND had put our full address, I decided to do the same. Once I did so and went back to the map, he had disappeared. When I zoom in and click on the little marker, it only shows my name.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

On the css side, the b.org logo in the upper right corner now has a border. I'm pretty sure this is a new thing.

Yeah, I just made it a link, but I forgot to take the border off in css.

Yeah--as noted above, ND's there, just exactly obscured by you. This could be addressed by putting in nearly the same location, if you'd like. I'm not sure how else to address it right now.

eta or what ita said before I xposted.

Ah, ok. No worries, I'll just switch back to city and state.

I'll just switch back to city and state.

I think the problem with that (and I think it's happening with Somerville) is that it will assume that's the exact same address too if someone else just puts in city and state.
