I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I initially just put "Oakland, CA." And now it won't budge from that mark.

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

Okay--there may be an issue with the latitude/longitude updating code. I'll have a look at that over the next few days.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Nobody move until ita fixes the map!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

First off, the map is VERY cool. I entered in data last night in my profile (city, state, country) and nada. So this morning I tried City, state. Still nothing. Then I tried City and state abbreviation. Nothing. Now I entered zip code, and I got a flag... it puts me in the harbor, but, at least I'm on the map! Dunno if it's an operator error, a Google problem, or a Buffistas problem. Thought I'd mention.

I'm tweaking again.

Omnis, PC, if you go through [link] do your changes register there?

eta: I have to say, I can move to and from Beverly Hills (90210) and Jamaica with no problem, so I'm flummoxed for the moment.

I see omnis, but my info doesn't seem to be showing up. Entered from either site (actually I found the info already there at the CSS site, but I hit submit on my profile again, just to be sure).

Sean, take out the comma between CA and 90026 and see what happens.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I put my location in as soon as you posted about it, but a couple days later the map is still only showing megan walker in SF. She looks so lonely all by herself!
