I noticed yesterday that Google Maps has a new (to me at least) feature. The first 2 or 3 zoom levels on satelite mode are at a 45 degree angle, mimicing a view from a plane, sorta. I only noticed it was available for Santa Cruz, CA and Sacramento, CA.

I just went to look at that, it seems like it's only for Santa Cruz (as far as I know). But that view is like the Bird's Eye View on Bing maps, except Bing has it for a lot more places, at least major cities and the areas around them.

On a side note, I like Bing more then google.

That is... utterly pointless, but interesting nonetheless.

Hmm, for general coverage I prefer google, but for aerial imagry I prefer bing (duh ) and bing has helped with modeling a few IRL things...

7688 - Bing doesnt have very good Canadian quality, so for that, I don't use it.

If I need a good map, and I have a reasonable internet connection, I use Google Earth.

7692. I use Google Maps, because I don't have Earth installed on my laptop, or don't want to wait for it to start up.

7693. I really like Bing, too. This morning, with the Oscars approaching, they had the Top 10 Worst movies of the Year. Guess Number 1. It won't surprise many people. Number 2 was SatC2(I think we all know what that stands for, don't we.), Number 3 was The Last Song, 4 was the Last Airbender, and 5 was Grown-Ups.

I am making great progress with Marcopoly City but I discovered that Simtropolis does not have spoiler, hide, or text size tags.

7695. Can't such tags be made, using html code?

7696 - Javascript is what you would need to use for the spoiler..but it isnt very compatible with the forum/CJ software.

For hide use white text.

Colouring is very easy with the forum software, not sure how to explain it but I use span html tags.

So, today I made a three hour drive up to Massachusetts, where I was sent for "training".

Training which consisted of five minutes of someone showing me how to do something on the computer, and then two hours of me practicing doing it.

Why this required going all the way to the outer suburbs of Boston is beyond me, but hey, company's paying.

If it's paid for, the only thing you're losing is your own precious time, right?

Training for what, dare I ask.

How to do QC on a database of information about home appliances.

It's easy, just tedious.

I have 2 3OH! songs stuck on my mind playing as one mixed up song.

EDIT: I have done most of the work on Marcopoly City. Now, I only need to change the names of the properties from Monopoly London to generic or custom names and multiply the prices by 10,000, and label the blocks. Here is the board so far.

Second Edit: It uses the London properties. I need to change the properties to more generic names. I also need to multiply the prices by 10,000.
