hacking with Google Maps and subscribing for new spam

Today I hacked the data recorded by my GPS receiver at the marathon in Karlsruhe into Google Maps code. The result is visible at http://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~schiele/maps/karlsruhe.html. Actually I had to throw away 75% of the recorded points because otherwise the Google Maps JavaScript code makes my Firefox explode.

I have done the same for some of my training courses earlier at http://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~schiele/maps/lauf.html. Note that the headlines are clickable on that page. But don't reload the page to often because at least with my Firefox it seems that the JavaScript interpreter is somehow leaking memory resulting in a really sloooooow browser after some time.

Christian created some new mailing lists for the openSUSE project today. Naturally I immediately subscribed because I like being spammed by list servers. ;-)
