.... on the Stats Page
Ive raised this a few levels up from where it originated so more monks subscribe...
What to do:
- Find out your Latitude and Longitude
- Put the correct HTML comment in your homenode
- Check the significant update box
- Wait a day for the stats site to parse the page
- Go have a look
- Find out :
If you're not sure of your latitude and longitude, use MapBlast to locate yourself.It's a pretty decent interface, and you can get near yourself by starting with your ZipCode, or select your country if your non-U.S. Be sure to click the lat/long display in the upper left corner of the map to display the correct format lat/long. The correct format will have a small degree symbol to the right of the first number in both the latitude and longitude.
- Put in the comment :
All you have to do is put a HTML comment of the following format in your home node. The HTML comment can be anywhere you like in the text, EXCEPT embedded in another HTML comment.<!-- Location:latitude=DDD.MM.SS,longitude=-DDD.MM.SS-->
The format MUST be [sign]DDD.MM.SS, where :
- DDD=degrees (000-179)
- MM=minutes (00-59)
- SS=seconds (00-59)
North latitudes use positive numbers, South latitudes use negative numbers.
East longitudes are positive, West longitudes are negative. - Check the significant update checkbox on your homenode :
- Wait....
The 'bot will only scan homenodes that appear in that list. This will minimize the server load, and will be checked once a day. If you remove the comment and set the checkbox, jcwren will delete your entry from the database, so you can literally vanish from the face of the earth. - Viewable at jcwren's Perl Monks Stat Page
