Blogging from literally the other side of the world?
I've been playing with this
BlogMap thing that
Dave blogged about a while ago. In
any case, being a devoted geocacher, I pulled out my GPS and entered my home
coordinates into Feedmap.
I must have made a small error in entering the East/West component, because my BlogMap appeared in Nepal. The last time I checked, I'm as far from the Himalayas as possible, so I take this as an error. As it turns out, Nepal is located at the same latitude as Tampa, Florida: 28.047500. Tampa, however is located at 082.394800 degrees West of the prime meridian. Nepal on the other hand, can be found at 082.394800 degrees East of the prime meridian. Oops.
I try to correct this any way I can. I submit my blog with -082.394800 as the East/West coordinates. No such luck. I break down and enter my address in Tampa. Nothing seems to help. I resign myself to my fate: my blog is now broadcasting from Annapurna.
There's only one NeighBlog here in Nepal. It's called Nicole's Love Story and it's hosted on MSN. But, her profile says she's from Taiwan, not Nepal. Could this be another error, are there any bloggers in this area who didn't get here accidentally?
As I read more about my blog's new home, it turns out that all media in Nepal is subject to military censorship. No articles against the King, government, or court, and no articles related to terrorism. For more information, look here. Wow, I guess Nicole and I should tread ligh
