SpamBayes works so well at work with Outlook, that I'd try to set it up at home with Outlook Express - setup is a little more difficult, and functionality isn't as great, but the jury's still out...

Turns out our "local" approver for Geocaching.com lives in Colorado... uh, that's *not* local...

In my informal quest to find a good global coordinate finding application on the web, EarthBrowser (although not a web application - but freely available via earthbrowser.com) is by far the best. Yes, you could try and use the ICBM address locater, and many others, but they're all cumbersome. With EarthBrowser, you can pretty much pinpoint your position (coordinates) by just clicking on the globe. Here are some observations, however, about the product: version 1.7 for Windows crashes sometimes when trying to turn off the webcams. Version 2.0 and 2.01 for Mac OS X doesn't have any proxy settings (like 1.7 for Windows does), and the language selection settings don't work (the 2.0 version is multi-lingual). The program is still excellent, however, and I'm just lucky to be able to test both versions on the differing platforms.

Okay - I'm lame - about 3 minutes of Googling gave me an answer for my previous question about the "A. L." designation on the sides of buildings. It stands for "Anno Lucis" (the year of light), which is a Masonic calendar reckoning date. It's not refering, apparently, to the creation of the world (Anno Mundi, at 9:00 a.m. on October 23rd, 4004 B.C., as determined by Bishop James Ussher and Dr. John Lightfoot), but is 4 years off - not sure why, however. On second thought, it probably is referring to the Creation, as the 4-year difference can most likely be attributed to calculation margins of error between calendaring systems.

So, Mapquest officially sucks now (they made some recent changes) - you can no longer get a map by coordinates. What were they thinking?
