Both of these activities should be left for professionals.

If you had seen all of the exploded heads that I have seen you would realize that this is no laughing matter.

Everything I do seems to be illegal

But I do like funk

Thanks for the vote, and of course to all the others. Must say this has been my favourite comp so far.

Will vote tomorrow still have a last few to download.

P.S Beardy Did you like Youtm's Mash-up of the Month?

@ Beardedone - thanks for the vote. I tried, ever so feebly, to cop some kind of beardedone vibe in the lead line in a few places. I still have miles to go, but your influence is starting to run deep in my mind - now I've got to translate it to the goods.

Thanks so much Scott! I am very touched.

The character in the song may be a man of grace, I certainly ain't.

Cheers for the comments.

Hovmod, peace.

Cheers.

Palindrome pirate songs, eh? 'Avast me maties' looks like it'd turn into some weird prayer to Cthulu if you flipped it backwards, so things could get interesting.

Nice mashup, by the way, George. And I like the new sig. Footage from your personal spy satellite?

i've tried to find your house, George, with your "Location" numbers, but it seems that Google Earth doesn't count degrees minutes seconds like your own system...

My coordinates were decimal degree (one of the standard GPS systems) - but thanks for reminding me - I meant to convert it to proper NATO spec UTM a long time ago... Now it is done.

Funny thing is Google Earth can't find my house even when I give it my exact address (ensconced on my website). I've found that about one out of five plots I've done in our metropolitan area are inaacurate within a few dozen meters. Seems Google Earth Pro may be able to do GPS plots - but I'm not paying for that. I got my coordinates originally from Terraserver a few years ago. They still seem to be accurate as long as you use WGS-84(NAD-83) maps. My new sig has elements of my neighborhood but is imaginary - and of course another puzzle...

I prefer the geographical system of Lat/Lon to UTM, because with UTM you need to know the zone, and you also need to know whether or not the coordinates are given using only "square" zones (like most marine equipment) or the extended zones that land surveyors use to include little bits of land (like the westernmost parts of Norway) in the same zone as the rest of the country or whatever land they're looking at.
Geographical is accurate (as long as you state the datum, as you do) and unique, and even though some use decimal minutes instead of seconds, for instance, this is a simple division problem and not one that requires maps or tables to convert.
It also makes immediate sense, unlike UTM (your house is 317254 meters east of WHAT?).

Anyway, Google earth is so close to being the perfect computer program! I love it!
Problems:
-not enough hi-rez photos of my preferred places (can't see my house).
-too many photos with clouds
-too many real places turn up as not found on searches, even though the names are there when you zoom in on them.
-not able to make routes from waypoints that aren't in it already.

Google earth is the bee's knees!...

Apparently you can view mars through it too... though not managed to get it to work yet...

.. and overlay higher detail satellite images..

But I agree.. there's still not enough detail in a lot of areas.. I can't see my house yet either!

Beardedone said...this is freaky funky stuff - I actually was moving to this - note that only Kriminal's stiff has ever had that effect on me.

That's the most shocking thing I've read this morning. Is Krim aware of this?

Sorry, Beardedone. This was too good to let pass by.
