We released GeoLocator 2.1 and I wanted to blog a short bit about the release announcement so that readers can link to the press release for details.
The announcement notes:
GeoLocator™ 2.1 can process over 14,000 text files every hour, with each text file averaging around seven kilobytes each. That is the equivalent of reading War and Peace, which is almost 1500 pages long, 33 times in an hour. In fact, if you were to print all of those text files on standard, letter-size paper and set them side-by-side you could cover almost 35 acres.
Reading “War and Peace“, including extracting all of the locations in it and aligning them to geocoordinates, in less than 2 minutes. That’s fast!

I’m a TripIt and Dopplr user, but of the two I’ve been far more impressed with TripIt of late. I’ve found organizing and sharing trips easier with TripIt, and the depth of information provided by its automagic plans@tripit email import far surpass Dopplr in my experience using both the last few months.
So I was very happy to see the interview with TripIt President Gregg Brockway:
Go, TripIt, go! Now off to get all of my Dopplr colleagues to give TripIt a shot, too…

Thank you National Geographic for answering my open letter to you with a fair assessment of the necessity of hunting in the recent article “Hunters: For Love of the Land“.
As author Robert Poole notes in the article:
“It’s the hunters who keep most of these species going,” said Jim Clay, a middle school English teacher, hunter, and maker of turkey calls in Winchester, Virginia. “They put in the money, and they put in the hours. Hunters really care about what happens.”
Though there are bad apples in all lots of people, for the most part hunters and fishermen love the land and its creatures. We know humans are an inextricable part of nature, and nature of us. We need wild creatures and wild places to nourish the soul and free the spirit. And we intend to make certain that both continue on, long past our own time, so that our grandchildren and their grandchildren’s grandchildren can cherish them just as we do.
To the extent that Mr. Poole’s article captures that passion for conservation and recognition of the interdependence of all things, he got it just right.
