The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm trying to geotag images in Flickr, and I'm coming across difficulty in my Morocco pics, because I can't search for all the local town names, and the maps aren't that detailed. I'm guessing I can enter longitude and latitude coordinates into the search engine, but first I'd need to find out, say, what the L&L for the Todra Gorge is.

Anyone know a way to look up the L&L of places somehow?

Both Google Earth and the 3-D version of live.maps.com give Lat/Long/Elev displays of what your mouse pointer is hovering over.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I adore bacon but ... bacon chocolate chip cookies? Really?

Because books.

Because pooping is good times!

Well, I can't argue with that.

I need to:

  • Fold my laundry
  • Do the dishes
  • Wrap presents
  • Generally, just straighten out my apartment

Or I can brew another pot of tea and just relax for a little while longer.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I'd brew the tea and relax...

I vote put the tea on to brew, and straighten as it steeps.

ita, what dcp said about Google Earth.

Plus, I'm not sure how helpful it will be, but you might check the CIA World Factbook online to see how detailed their info on Morocco is.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

more tea is my vote.

I have to

clean the bathroom

wash clothes

vacuum

put away tons of clothes

I think a nap is on the list

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

beth b, it sounds like you could use a nice cup of tea, too! Then you could really relax for a nap and then tackle your list of chores.

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

Problem with google earth, if I can't find the town name there either...but it's a start. I have a lot of tagging to do.
