Good news, now we can put Ubuntu Server installations on the World Map!
How? Go to maps.ubuntu.com, and choose one of the options.
Then you can view the location of Ubuntu servers around the world, marked by the ubiquitous Ubuntu logo!

I’ve seen few photos taken from a GPS capable camera and the photo can be traced back to its original location using photo-navigation capable GPS devices.
These GPS coordinates are stored inside JPEG files which comforms to EXIF specification (using GPS IFD). However, I found out the f-spot photo manager while capable of reading EXIF metadata from JPEG, it can’t display the GPS coordinates properly upon reading the JPEG files.
This is rather annoying to me as I can’t possibly know the location where the photo was taken.
exifprobe to the rescue
Fortunately there is exifprobe. A CLI tool which able to display GPS coordinate on JPEG files among other things. The displayed coordinate from EXIF probe are in this format
degree, minute, second
so this output
Latitude = 5,47,39 Longitude = 100,24,10
would become 5° 47′ 39″ N, 100° 24′ 10″ E which you can enter on google maps to get its location.
Easy isnt it
p/s: btw, The location is within Gunung Jerai camping area where it is a popular camping spot for locals and tourists in Kedah (Malaysia).
I just discovered today that Google (street) maps is now available for my hometown – Alor Star! Upon checking further I discovered that the street level maps is also available for various other places in the northern part of Malaysia too, including remote areas in Perlias and Kedah, w00t.
Here’s sample of the street map taken from Google Maps
Check this feature in Google Maps now!
Now I can relate more stuff from my Dopod P800W to Google Maps and vice versa
