Apr 21: Google Maps

OK, they are pretty cool, I like the old google maps, you can do a nice virtual holiday from your desk. Sad I know, but you can get to see some sights, that well, you might never have gotten around to seeing. The other thing I like about good maps, is that it can plan/tell you how to get from A to B. Not always the best route, but a route none the less.

So I decided how does Google tell me how to get from London to the lovely city of Brussels, I'm sure it would give pretty much the same results if I was to go to Paris or any other city in Europe as I would always have to cross the channel somewhere. So, How does Google find Calais from London? Well simple really, Turn left at Dover, and after swiming/driving/ I don't know, you will get to Calais after 26Miles (that'll be ~41Km Google hasn't realised that the UK has gone metric like the rest of Europe)

Anyway, for you, I have taken a snap shot of this famous crossing that only Google has found. Yes, that mystery bridge.

Dover to Calais, The Google way

There you go, easy when you know. MInd. I still prefer the good old Eurostar.

Jan 19: Power of Internet search

Well, today it's Friday! Thank God! Mind for me that's neither here nor there. I was perusing my stats as I do from time to time, like every 10 mins. I found the most amusing Google seach. Someone thought that the power of the internet would tell them the answer to everything. I do believe that it is darn powerful, but hell there are limits. Oh, you want to know what the search is, and don't want me to ramble on? Well It's my name isn't it?
ok ok, here's what they searched for:

Andy's Address in the united kingdom (google search)

There, now I guess that the person in question, who also happened to be in Israel, didn't find Andy's address.
There, you need to put some more info in to find an address.
