A while back, I was sticking satellite pictures together with The Gimp to create this “photoalbum.”:http://the-timing.nl/blog/2005/11/combining-googlemaps-and-holyday-pictures
Later I found out it was a very sucky way to make a photoalbum with “Google Maps.”:http://maps.google.com
Using the “Google Maps Api”:http://www.google.com/apis/maps is a better way.

So go to my “GoogleMaps Photoalbum,”:/Projects/Photomap and have a look around!

So far I have photos on the following locations:

* “Europe”:/Projects/Photomap/?location=europe
* “The Netherlands”:/Projects/Photomap/?location=netherlands
* “The IJsselstein Area”:/Projects/Photomap/?location=ijsselstein (My hometown)
* “Corsica, France”:/Projects/Photomap/?location=corsica
* “Porec, Croatia”:/Projects/Photomap/?location=porec
* “Norway and Sweden”:/Projects/Photomap/?location=norway-sweden
* “Reykjavik, Iceland”:/Projects/Photomap/?location=reykjavik
* “Rome, Italy”:/Projects/Photomap/?location=rome

This is an example of a photo taken in Porec, Croatia:

This Perl script will give you translations from and to the following languages:
Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish.

Make a symlink to this file like:
cp -l translate translate-nl-en

Then the usage will be something like this:
translate-[src-lang]-[des-lang] [word]

O hey! Did you see my last.fm recently played tracks on the left?

Finally, I wrote my first “more-then-three-lines-patch”:http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ticket/94 for BitlBee! It makes it possible to send those “stupid nudges”:http://www.imagine-msn.com/messenger/post/communicate/nudge.aspx to your MSN buddies. To send a nudge, use the CTCP NUDGE command (/ctcp $nick NUDGE in most clients):

And then, this is the result on the other side:

If you can tell me what the use is of a nudge, join #bitlbee on irc.oftc.net!
