Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Gus, please delete "bruce" for me. He was the mechanical shark in "Jaws," so I put him just off the coast of Long Island. However, someone else has put in a "Jaws" marker, so no need for the duplication.

Ha! I thought that's what "you" (not that I knew it was you, specifically) meant.
Also, uh, Gus, what happened to the map? It has little question mark bubbles for some points, and all of the alt tags are now "."

Question bubbles: DCJ requested some difference between the serious and the not-so-serious pins. It made sense to me, as some folks just want to see where the Buffistas are, without sifting through all the "gotchas!". I think it is still fun, checking out the mystery spots, moreso since now I know they are supposed to be something cool.
I was going through and making the thing W3C compliant, which means that all images need an "alt" defined. Evidently, IE will only show the "alt" if both a "title" and an "alt" are defined. So, I ripped all the alts out, and people's names are back. The W3C and Microsoft can take a leap at each other.
When I get done with some real stuff, like maps for the rest of the world, I'll go back and move all those titles to alts.

Hey. New board.
I just have to wonder: Is "waldo" a real user? Or is that just a "Where's Waldo" reference? (if so, he should probably be made a question mark).
Either way, it's interesting that waldo is in Mississippi, a very few miles north of my hometown (in my home county!)

Heh. Yeah, I guess Gus is going to have to sift through the pins himself and change the ones that are special, like "Hellmouth" and "Lake Woebegone."

Yeah I wondered about Waldo, too. One way or the other, I fixed him!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Unless, of course, there were a radio button to select "real icon" or "fanciful icon" when you put in the name.

Hey. New board.
Well, if it gets moved to the buffista server eventually, he could tie it in to the profiles and have it automatically detect if something is a username. Or have people be able to add things in fun from the map itself (with special icons), but only set their own pin from within their "Set Profile" page, (that way, if waldo is a user who rarely posts, say, but somebody wants to make the joke about Waldo, then they can do it with the correct icon.) Plus, adding longitude and latitude entering capabilities, for more precise pin-setting.
The possibilities are endless, actually.
