Been messing with my Bing maps thing again NF and got latitude and longitude values mixed up. Clicked on place in Sussex and zoomed in on Dubai. Good thing I'm not an airline pilot.

So all the letters came out sideways. Fortunately we'd provided a rotate function, so managed to smoke and mirrors the demo.
When I was at UNI we only had analogue computers.
PS I'm lying, we only had abacuses. Carved out of stone.bloggoth

Originally posted by xoggoth View PostApart from the thing for footpaths inspections so I can mark problems, I've made another to suit my walking obsessions. I can view a grid overlaying my local area and zoom in on any section when clicked. Can post the code if you're interested in this stuff.Comment

This evening's epics began with "Doctor Who" (actual story, the first this season), followed by a little bit of "World War Weird" on Yesterday which I'd seen previously so now we're onto "The Dambusters Great Escape" on More4, which is about the sinking of the Tirpitz.
Poor bloody sailormen.
Now back to "World War Weird" with the pigeon guided missile.
The cat, by the way, is too dumb to use the access to the shed.
Ho very hum.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 1 January 2019, 21:18.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
