Google Maps sightseeing..
This is pretty fun - See the worl*ahem* North America from your home!
Google Maps extension for Firefox
If you are in the US (sadly Google Maps only covers the US area) this looks like a very cool firefox extension!
"Google Maps Live is an extension for Firefox 1.0 that allows you to feed latitude/longitude data to Google Maps and have it tracked in realtime. The extension works by listening for the data on a socket."
Now, if you have a GPS, it is nearly trivial to write a piece of perl to reformat the NMEA feed from your GPS on a serial port to the socket.. Or do some other fun stuff. If your photos had GPS coordinates (something we had in mind for F-Spot eventually) you could for example look up the locations while you do a slideshow on another computer..
Whee!
So, there's a port of [url=http://www.frozen-bubble.org/]Frozen Bubble[/url] for [url=http://fb-s60.sourceforge.net/]Symbian Series60 phones.[/url] Yay!
Blast from the past :-)
Some of you might remember I used to work for a finnish ISP before the ximian/novell journey started. The coolest guys from the web team there decided to start their [url=http://www.apaja.com/inenglish.php]own company[/url] a few years ago. Turns out they have come up with [url=http://www.playray.com]even more cool ways to waste your time[/url] when you have a need to vent a bit. Neat ways to use Java I'd say.
[url=http://www.playray.com/play/minigolf]Minigolf[/url], [url=http://www.playray.com/play/pool]Pool[/url] and [url=http://www.playray.com/play/cannons]Cannons[/url] (play with 1-5 friends) are recommended highly
