Stage One and Two Complete

Professional No comments »
I have finished to a point the flickr thumbnail application which was stage 1. A MVC frame was used and today refactored to add the google maps api into the same swf. So the results can be seen with landed.at if you have navigated to a specific country then the url passes in the country to the swf. Flickr does a search on thumbs and the google api geo-codes the country (not so much of an address) address and returns the position of the map. What was fun NOT was that having a latitude and logitude and trying to get the offset in full screen mode with the image to the left was a bit of applied trial and error, coming up with a coefficient for the particular zoom. It kind of works well with i.e. being a bit unstable in the full screen but it bloody well usually is with something. What have they done.

I'm glad bing is getting a big push hope it wakes google out of its dollar PR rubbish. Well please check out the following link and let me know and others too if you like it, thanks
