As first discussed in another thread, Scroot has created this cool ASP tool that allows members of CF to enter where in the world they're located. It's quite interesting, and here's the link again:
http://www34.brinkster.com/scroots/census/zone.asp
Click on the area where you are and it takes you to a page and you click submit and thats it.
oracleguy 03-05-2003, 01:10 AM Thats pretty cool.
scroots 03-05-2003, 06:37 PM The data collected can be seen
HERE (http://www.martin.newton1.btinternet.co.uk/census/current.html)
It will be updated every night by me to inclue new additions during the day
Number of people submitted:32
this post will change to keep up with developments.

Borgtex 03-05-2003, 11:59 PM I only see a green world map over a blue background :confused:
cg9com 03-06-2003, 01:57 AM borgtext, looks like an image map, just click your area,
i couldnt get a box to really get where i live.
mouse 03-06-2003, 08:14 AM Very clever. Although doesn't seem to have added me.
cg9com 03-06-2003, 08:26 AM i thought i would have to type my name in or something

uh... i can only see the same map again when i click on that...
Borgtex 03-06-2003, 11:15 AM :o Forgive me if I'm a bit obtuse, but... where is supposed to appear the collected data? I always see the same: a map
scroots 03-06-2003, 07:03 PM Yep i didn`t want to wreck my bandwidth allowence thats why i post the results as .html on another server, as i didn`t want to kill a server.
I will update it in a min, There is an error of why you can`t see the members on the map it is due to an image that i will change, but there is NO need to resubmit.

/me just a whispers® to cg9...
/me doesnt just a think® it was /me ...lol.../me was just a iming® for ontario...'cept ya nevvver knowww where thessse thiggghs are going to just a land/rest® hehehe...
I think I'm in the water too, in the Baltic. Hmmm, it seems to be about 1000 km between the spots. :p
scroots 03-13-2003, 06:47 PM meow, i could make the boxes smaller or whatever, but making the smaller increase project size. Also it might be regarded as a security issue if someone knew within 200KM of where you lived, or within 200KM of the most of the baords members.

ASAAKI 03-13-2003, 09:29 PM errr.... i've done it two or three times the past week maybe but i can't see my location show up... is that really all we're supposed to do? ignore the textboxes and hit 'submit'?
scroots 03-15-2003, 10:51 AM ASAAKI you have done it right, you cannot see yourself on the results page as i haven`t updated the results page on server #2 i will do it now.

scroots 03-16-2003, 10:03 AM updated the results page

Mhtml 03-17-2003, 01:17 PM Hehe, not bad for a first attempt. (It is a first attempt right?) :)
Still I'd like to see you make it automated.
ASAAKI 03-17-2003, 05:35 PM booHOOOOO!! <sniff /> <sniff /> somebody's hanging there at the tip of the arabian peninsula <sniff /> but there's no ME in the center of Saudi Arabia!! <sniff /> <snort /> oh, woe is me!
scroots 03-17-2003, 06:08 PM i could post a link for automated results, but all my bandwidth usage would die.
as i said if anyone has any asp space on a server it could become automated.

the weirdest thing?

Mhtml 03-21-2003, 12:35 AM the southpole now appears so i can finally vote !!

ionsurge 03-21-2003, 11:10 AM He must be joking...!
Of coarse in don’t live on the South Pole. I just work there !
Seriously, i’m the manager of the Arctic Microsoft Division but i have a fly-in agreement, so i just hop over there if i’m needed (it’s this kind a overhead that makes our fine products so expensive)
