Not only does it default to my home city (Melbourne), but the preset locations are the home cities of myself, my sister, a couple of friends, my English grandfather and my wifes Ukranian dad.<br /><br />However, if you've got cookies turned on, it should remember where you clicked on the map, and go straight there next time.<br /><br />I'm a bit jealous of your snow.

It shows the immanation of snow making a snowdrift imminent and the table immanent.<br /><br />http://mysite.verizon.net/vzexaqm8/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/snowpic.jpgJoe Stillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967010101974872521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484180326012950400.post-16376147429958496782010-02-06T22:06:00.250-08:002010-02-06T22:06:00.250-08:00Amazing the associations words can have - one glan...Amazing the associations words can have - one glance at 'immanent' and I'm back in 'A Wizard of Earthsea', reading of the Immanent Grove.<br /><br />Where I'm sitting it's 31 degrees C (88 F) and very sunny. I've just been on an emergency run to buy cold beer.<br /><br />I feel the winter though, in a mildly SAD way. I wrote this a while ago to help myself through the heart of winter and convince myself that Spring would come:<br /><br />http://www.seasonalaffectivedepression.com/wordpress/sunrise-calculator<br /><br />(requires Flash and a temperament which likes gadgets)HANNAH'S DADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877455489975811860noreply@blogger.com
