I have created the thing the world has been waiting for: a rear-view mirror for Google Street View

Link please Nicky boy!

Walked an arse ripping, leg fecking, butt frocking, shoulder banging 13.4 miles today

Ate an XXL portion of Fish and chips and I can now feel my legs fecked

Link please Nicky boy!

It's still got a few glitches, and the code could do with tidying up. Also had to muck around with Google API keys, as well as extracting it from a larger project, but… here it is at a temporary URL (I'll try to remember to put in a redirect as and when it finds a proper home): Google Street View with Rear-view Mirror

Caveats: only tested on Safari, modern browser required, etc. etc.

It's not even a prototype, just some bits of code slung together and stirred

EDIT: if you leave Street View for the map then go back in, it doesn't re-initialise properly. Resize your browser, even by just a pixel, and it'll sort itself out. I'm not going to bother working out what's going on and fixing it now, because I'm off to the pub soon

From A to B and back again

Now, last weekend I re-watched the first Matrix film, which was called "The Matrix". Good usability on the naming front there. It's a Matrix film, and it's called "The Matrix". You know where you stand with that one.

Having re-watched that, I want to re-watch the second Matrix film this weekend. (Yes, I know the sequels are crap.) But the question is, what is it called?

I know both the second and third begin with an "R". But which is first - "Reloaded" or "Revolutions"?

Neither of those names implies that it comes before or after the other. Maybe it needed to be reloaded before there could be a revolution. Or maybe there needed to be a revolution before it could be reloaded. Given that it's an arbitrary fictional construct, how can one be sure?

They should have used a consistent naming scheme that implied an order, like Shakespeare did with his "Henry" series

Think it was Reloaded for the second, then the Animatrix, then Revolutions...

Hardknott pass - top choice for testing it out

Appears to work ok on Firefox. Sheep in the road appear in the rear view mirror for added authenticity Just need to find some twunt who's got themselves stuck and test that bit now

Ah, that didn't take long. They've stopped for a picnic though, rather than actually being stalled on a hairpin. Only a matter of time I reckon.

Morning

Afternoon all.

And a lovely sunny afternoon it is too.



There's another Sunday lunch cooked & eaten, beef this week & I remembered to cook the rice pud too, though I was a little over generous with the sugar, so it was toothachingly sweet, but cooked to a turn.

The beef wasn't incinerated either, which makes a change. :smokn <-sort of thing the beef does sometimes if I forget I'm cooking for one.
