I have been playing around with Google Maps lately and have come across a few scripts I had from a few months back… This is a bit of fun!
[Click Here to try out Google Maps animated directions]
What this does is you input a start location and an end destination in the input boxes, press the start button and watch the journey animated with a small van icon.
It will display your current speed, mph, road names & routes as it plods along call it “sat nav” on the cheap… 
I have a preset journey leaving from Patrick’s St, Cork, Ireland going to The Square, Blarney, Cork, Ireland but you can change the start and finish locations to your own liking.
What’s also interesting about this map is it will take you across channels e.g. I put Rosslare as start and Swansea as finish and it took me across the proper channel route and then continued on the roads in the UK!
I’d imagine it will take you to anywhere that Google Maps can find….. [Click Here to try it out]

Just a quick post to say I’ve been “up the walls” with various projects over the past few weeks, a nice tutorial is on its way of my experiences with Google Maps. I’ve been implementing the maps on a property site I’m developing at the moment and had a bit of fun pushing the possibilities there. Also started teaching “Digital Photography” & “Webpage Design” at the local school, these are adult night classes and take some time to prepare but I really like the challenge and of course returning to the basics myself.
VectorMagic Link
I came across this really handy site to convert: PG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF files to vector format, it’s a free online auto-tracer.

Its dead handy if you have a low quailty image or small image of a logo that you need to vectorise for resizing etc. Out put files can be: EPS, SVG, PNG

Also this link is from a friend to Dell Factory Outlet on ebay,
Dell Factory Outlet
handy to keep an eye on for a cheap laptop or pc. They are refurbished and fully serviced and come with 12 month warranty. Some days there is 30 to 40 products available other days only 1 or 2. They are only available to Ireland or shall I say post to Ireland only. Any stories from people who have bought from here good or bad reviews would be interesting?
