A while ago I did my own version of the google memory map thing as google didn’t have satellite images of the New Zealand at that point it was pretty much only the U S of A.
Google now seems to be expanding their satellite coverage. They’ve managed half of Auckland in focus and the other half not.
Its good to see they will be covering the globe in those little google watermarks even if it does take them a while!
Since launching the new look at the beginning of the week I’ve been quietly adding in some features that I’ve wanted for a while. Just ’cause I’m posting about it now doesn’t mean I’m going to stop adding/tweaking…I’m just going to take a little rest and work on other projects that need my attention. Then I’m going to come back here and funk it all up with more. Yes MORE!
So here you have a list (albeit a short one) of the changes so far:
10 Hardcore geeks braved the shitty weather to drive out to the shore last night to attend the very first meeting of the Auckland Web Standards Group.
I’m pretty sure the staff at Blankenberge Belgian Beer Café were a little scared of us as our conversation ebbed from total silence to almost unbearable nattering (give a few geeks some foreign beer and you cant shut them up!).
Among the 10 people who attended we managed to find 6 people who are keen to play a role in organising future events. Ideas were tossed around about venues and possible topics for presentations.
Here are some of the more popular topics people want to talk or hear about at future WSG meets:
Peter has thrown a page up on his website outlining in further detail what was discussed last night. It’s interesting to note the broad range of topics that may (or may not) fall under the Web Standards brolly.
Overall I’d say last night was a total success. It’s always awesome to meet new people who share the same views about the web as I do.
Go web standards!
