Got inspired by Twittervision mapping your tweets on Google Map. They don’t have a widget to put the map on your blog. Nevertheless I wouldn’t have used their widgets as they slow down the site. I hacked a piece of code in php/js to achieve the same on my site.

Geo microformat L:lat,lan is used to represent the position data. It takes 21 characters to represent my geo location accurately. 21 characters out of 140 characters is high but its worth when you are traveling. Its very interesting to see tweets of your travel time on map.

As of now it shows only the latest tweet on the map¹. My next idea is to show multiple tweets on the map. Allow user to choose the number of tweets. That will be cool when I am traveling specially after buying this gps logger (Thanks to Sunish).

I am also using hashtags to tag my tweets which will help me to fetch the tweets related to a context. So using hashtags I can map related tweets on the map. Think of looking at all my missionkk tweets on the map. That will be great right?

The project is called WWW- When Where What and the url is http://thejeshgn.com/www/. Have a look and let me know.

[1] If a tweet doesn’t have geo info it will pointed to my home.

Lot many things have happened to me within these five years. It needs at least ten to fifteen posts to put all my feelings on this blog. I will try to do it sometime later this year. As of now I am just happy and looking forward for some more great years.

I recently got a Reliance Netconnect USB based CDMA modem. By default Reliance does not support Linux. I did few searches on the net for a ppp connection setting and other details on net. I got an hoe to on the Reliance Forums. The following worked for me on Ubuntu Intel but should work for all the distros. I am reproducing the how-to with my own comments. Read the rest of this entry »
