Linky no work, Gus. But dude, it sounds cool.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Interesting idea, Gus, though I'm not sure if ~ma really conforms to computable rules.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah. ~ma just is.

Uh-oh. Checking in 12 hours later to see that one person has actually sent ~ma on the map (Waves at Liese). Either it is broken in some way that does not show in the logs, or interest is very low.
If the former, somebody bitch about what happened, please. If the later ... oh well. It was a fun little lunchtime project, anyway.

What is even happening?
Gus, I was confused. I have entered my location (near Boston) on previous maps, but didn't see me there this time, and so didn't send any ~ma, because I was afraid I would somehow break your glorious invention.
Also? The dog ate my homework.

Gus, I couldn't make it work, and I don't know if that's me or that Opera on my home computer wasn't compatible with it.

Cindy, I just added myself to the map and sent you some ~ma. It did act a little funny, but that was related to adding a pin and sending ~ma all at once, I think.
'Suela, I use Opera 7.5 on WIN2K, and it seems to work for me.
Grr. I just logged-in as you and sent me ~ma. Nothing happened. Grr.
edited, because 'looging-in' is not something one does in polite company.
It's a bughunt!

I tried to send ~ma. I put my name in and pressed "send" (but didn't know how to put my own pin in). Then -t's name came up in the receive field so I pressed, whatever it told me to, and then I got scared and shut the page. :)

Ok, found the bug. I just redirected my ~ma to Consuela. It worked for Liese before I made a "tweak" that broke more than it improved. ~Ma sending should work, now.
After you send your name, you can just click the map to either move or create your pin. Replacing the user-entry field with the ~ma-target list is a little confusing and counterintuitive. I will fiddle with that. I'll also put the "find" functionality back in, so folks can find their own pin.
