Something that has appeared on my radar recently is Gustavo Niemeyer’s geohash (see wikipedia article for further explanation). I had a quick look and it was very easy to add Geohash support to Minimap. The extension will now recognise geohash.org links (drag and drop onto sidebar, or decode from context menu) and plot them on the map. I have also added the ability to encode a geohash for your address list items from the share menu or from within the Preview Panel.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t yet sat down to fully look at the geohash principle and assess it’s aims and possibilities, but if these links are going to be present on webpages it makes sense for Minimap to be able to decode them.
This will hit the streets in the 0.3.1 version at the begnning of August, and is largely possible thanks to David Troys javascript library for geohash.

Just a quick post from my iPod touch using the new wordpress app. Took me ages to get it set up, app was authenticating but not allowing me past first page - it’s all in a missing ‘www’

Hi all, with the upcoming release of Flock 2 (currently in Beta2), I have had a look at my extensions and all seems to be pretty broken. I am unable to simply bump up the version compatibility.

Something, somewhere is going wrong with all the extensions and it is going to take me a while to investigate. Most of my time is spent developing Minimap which works in both Firefox and Flock, and I even struggle to find time to do that at present.

Therefore, I am proposing to carry out the following (unless popular demand requires otherwise):

1) Work to get BlogPlus working (high priority)

2) Work to get screengrab working (low priority)

3) Discontinue geoFlock in favour of the cross-browser Minimap. Anecdotal evidence suggests very few people use the Flickr geotagging abilities (the only part that separates it from Minimap).

4) Discontinue Flockstars - good idea, but in over 3 years of using Flock (wow, yes it’s been that long!) I have rarely stumbled across another Flockstar using it.

Flock is an awesome browser and I still use it religously for my social sites, I am in no way ‘abandoning ship’, just reassessing my course.

Best wishes, tones

Just a quick note to say I shall be attending the ESRI User Conference in London in October if anyone wishes to meet up.
