Remember this? With bjango's permission I have taken over maintenance of this little side project, because I thought it was just too cool to let pass into obscurity. My first set of updates to the file can be found on the Google Earth Community message board here. There are a few changes from bjango's original file. First, users are listed in the file alphabetically, rather than by country. Google Earth has graphical search features that are more than adequate to show you who is situated in a particular city, state, province or country. Listing them alphabetically made it easier to search for a particular user by name. Second, there are the nifty new icons, in BOINC's unique font, which indicate special things about users listed. A blue "B" indicates a regular user. A gold "B" indicates someone involved with the operation of a project (i.e. an administrator, developer, or scientist, but not a tester or forum moderator). A red "B" indicates the founder of an established team of five or more members. This replaces bjango's original set of team "locations", which I felt were superfluous as even a geographically-based team can have members spread all over the map. The BOINC project locations file included with bjango's original is not updated or present in this file. It is being maintained by another user and can be found at http://www.pcschmiede.de.tf/boinc/ To start with, I used the user markers from bjango's original file to seed the new one, but, anyone wishing to be included, please just step right up and say so! As before, merely a city, or rough location, is sufficient. I'll put your marker in a neutral location, such as a park, body of water, or landmark of your choice (don't want any cyberstalkers being able to see right where you live...) Anyone familiar with Google Earth and wishing to customize their locations and labels can email me a .kmz file as an attachment for inclusion. Send it to bcboinc (-at-) fandom.ca Also, for anyone wishing to be included but who have set "International" as your country on BOINC, I offer the following largely neutral choices: 90 degrees North latitude 90 degrees South latitude Mount Everest The International Date Line (somewhere in the ocean) The United Nations building in New York City Additions and corrections are sought and encouraged. I am especially interested to know of any user who may warrant a different colour icon or users who have either moved or have stopped crunching BOINC, and can thus reasonably be taken out of the file. Comments and suggestions are also welcome. Enjoy! |

Knightmare: Done, though I couldn't find this Michigan Sugar you mentioned. You're in the river, instead. :) You'll be included in the next update. Watch this space. (Or the space on Einstein or Pirates...) Cool. Thanks, Raven. The river is close enough. I only live a few feet from it....lol Air Cold, the blade stops; from silent stone, Death is preordained Calm Chaos Forums : Everyone Welcome |

(Or the space on Einstein or Pirates...) Good luck with that. I will sit and laugh as your " pirate ship " grounds itself in the shallow water. :-) Air Cold, the blade stops; from silent stone, Death is preordained Calm Chaos Forums : Everyone Welcome |

(Or the space on Einstein or Pirates...) We reserve that right for team members only. Of course, you could always....
