tbmimsthethird asked: That Shorpy Geoplacer Thingy is fucking awesome. It would take three weeks, the entirety of Tim Leary's leftover stash of LSD, and one of the top five minds of the States to even COME UP WITH THE IDEA of accomplishing something similar with Great Britain's national photographic archive. Even then, it would just remain an idea. After the fleeting thought, that MIT professor would simply go back to juggling his glo-sticks in the dark and watching Logan's Run again.
Thanks, Mims. It’s all done with a bit of Javascript and HTML so you can easily just view source and hack it to pieces to see how it works. I’ll be putting some annotated source online tomorrow, I think. The guys at Shorpy seem pretty impressed too, so they might even gank some of it for the site, which would be pretty cool.
Thanks again, dude.
