While doing my homework, (topic is on something in Japan) I ended up playing around with another feature of google earth...

check out the lights across the globe - satellite images at night.. pretty cool

Lot of lights in the States



the UK and Europe is well lit




China and Japan are not in the dark, but Australia is

Oh dear, someone has vandalised your roof with a big red X! Zorba, this is in need of repair immediately!

Interesting though, that you would give away your exact location on the internet? I would think to not mark your exact house, as the cursor locations are included in the picture? Just a thought...

I'd give you a photo of my house, but you can't see anything where I live because of the low resolution (censorship)

[axesever]

Wow that indigo ring around the Earth is pretty =S

Heh, I used google to find my house once too, and I found it the images were hella old cause it showed my car at the high school (a 67 gto is easily noticed, especially mine since the hood was black) after I had graduated like a year ago. heh.

Still cool though.

Hi Troy,took your advise and marked all the houses with a red "X"

BTW:It's great to see you as a tech again

Hey, that wasn't my advice - so you're the graffiti bandit! Actually I was referring to your picture, and no - only the one house still has a red X

BTW:It's great to see you as a tech again

Thanks, it's really good to be back! I've been a very good boy this time, working on my logs

Cheers

So what's with the big red X in somebody's front lawn? I don't think they're gonna appreciate that!

Looks much better, now I just have to remember which one it was...

Just a note to all of you that like google earth, and other sites that provide images and maps. Zorba did a good thing with removing the image he posted.

WOW!Makes you think,doesent it?Thank god,i'm not running for President!So,when are you comming for coffee?

From zorba the geek in reference to his address. Not a good idea to put too much personal information on the internet.

I think I was close to his address, if not right on. Took about 4 minutes to get it. For me, it makes no difference if someone knows where I am, I believe that I have enough personal protection at hand to ensure the saftey of myself and family. But why take a chance with advertising where you live?

BTW, I checked my home address on Google and it shows a up close and personal picture of my house with the kids bikes on the driveway
There is no way to keep public information off the net, just try not to give up clues that will open the door to that

harrythook is right,it's not a good idea!Not even in a forum like Geeks to go!It's easy to forget that the web is open to everybody!Thanks harry to point this out!

Btw:The offer for the coffee still stands

cheers
