    Article: Please Stop Tagging the Locations of Your Outdoor Photographs

    https://fstoppers.com/originals/please-stop-tagging-locations-your-outdoor-photographs-291790 This is interesting. It looks like the photo community is starting to feel how some of us felt with posting exact coordinates to places and geocaching.

    Site Maintenance

    They should be working, although I'm having to relay mail through a new service. I've been getting mail from the site. Edit: Looks like mail to @comcast.net was failing and mail to @icloud.com was having problems too. I made a config change but it may take a little while to take effect.

    Yeah, that seems to have done the trick.

    Maps are moved, but I just noticed that the USGS topo maps aren't working anymore.

    Site Maintenance

    The forums are up and running in their new home. The other stuff (www, maps, etc.) haven't moved yet. Let me know if you run into any problems.

    Site Maintenance

    Hi - Just a heads up, I'm going to be doing some work on the site that will require me taking it offline for a few hours. I'm not exactly sure when that will be (it'll be within the next few days, I imagine) but if you try to go to the forums and see that they're shut and/or not responding...

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    So it turns out that they actually do have a way for you to set limits. I signed up for an API key (and gave them my credit card.) Looking at my web logs it seems like my usage will be way way way less than the 25k/day limit they have. For some reason I thought they set the limit to 25k/month...

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    Chances are this may be the end of NJPB Maps, sad to say. I'll see if I can get it working with something that isn't google or see if the current usage won't go over their $200 credit, but potentially someone malicious could request their API a million times (using a script) and max out my...

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    They probably want to have something on file so that they can bill you if you hammer their API. Will it kill NJPB maps? Hopefully not. I'll have to see what the impact will be.

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    It uses the Google API to ask your browser where you're located and then adjusts the map to center on that. But I'm using an older version of the API and they probably dropped support for that since it won't work in Safari or Chrome on my desktop either.

    Facebook Too Big?

    West Jersey History is another really good Facebook group that I enjoy. Peter Hamilton's West Jersey History site has a page named the same as well.

    Announcing the new NJPB Maps

    The find me thing is buggy. Either you don't have location services turned on on your phone or the old as hell Google Maps API I use has issues.

    Ken Washington

    Sad news. I haven't seen Ken in years but for sure he was a great asset to the site back in the day.
