Hurrah for the Linux version!!! Now all those people who picked up ubuntu CDs on the weekend have one less reason not to install it. :)

I think we'll be pumping out a lot more KML (Google Earth data) on GCA in the near future, especially now that GMaps supports it too.

I've got one, but use the aircon vent mount instead of the suction cup arm mount. Works well once set up, though I wouldn't want to be adjusting it too often.

You'll need something to rest the laptop on too. I'm happy to provide my lap, free of charge. :p

I'm going to leave entrails as swaps in caches I find. Good news is, I don't think I've ever gone caching on a non-holiday Tuesday. :)

i.e. the problem is not with damo as spamassassin is a common product... the problem in this case appears to be with gc.com.au and the software thats being used for the mailing.
