Also: Long time viewers and contributors I’m pleased to announce we have new maps on the photo pages above to the right: I finally had a breakthrough on the code for this tonight and implemented the change on all photo pages. There may be a couple bugs but so far so good.
The main cause of the problem is that google is going Shareholder crazy – monetising previously free services and shutting down a crap ton of things that didn’t make them money. Map programming was affected and by summer google slowly shut down all map programming (with that stupid Do You Own This Website? popup). Gooogle basically wanted everyone to add a Credit Card (with no option to say no!) to their account for overages, and I don’t like that one bit as it doesn’t stop someone from abusing your site and costing you big $$.
Well, I did have an option to switch to something else, but I had to find the time to program it. And the best part is it’s free, open source, and anyone can contribute to this map project. Visit http://www.openstreetmap.org for more on Open Street Map – you may find these maps interesting.
I’ll be working on getting rid of Google elsewhere – if it wasn’t enough they are (presently) getting 50% of our ad revenue – greedy bastards.
