Recently, in the thread [id://39894], it was posited that it might be interesting for monks to amend their nicks with a location. I can't do much about that, but I have added some fields to <!-- shameless plug --> the <a href="http://www.tinymicros.com/pm">stats</a> pages that allow monks who are on the <a href="http://www.tinymicros.com/pm?goto=MonkMaps">MonkMap</a> to select a given monk as the origin, and display the range and bearing to any other monk who is mappified. This can be gotten to by either clicking 'Monk Maps' on the main <!-- more plugging! --><a href="http://www.tinymicros.com/pm">stats</a> page, or by clicking <a href="http://www.tinymicros.com/pm?goto=MonkMaps">here</a>. I'll be adding the ability to sort by range and/or bearing shortly.<br><br>
[mdillon] had the suggestion of adding monkular birthdays to the database, using the same method as adding MonkMap location tags and OS tags. Any thoughts on this? I've also thought that anyone who wanted to make their email address available could use a similiar method. <br><br>
I will be fixing the scanner to process email tags and birthday tags using the following format:<br><br>
<strong><!-- email:myemail@someaddress.com --><br>
<!-- birthday:04/30/1998 --></strong><br><br>
If you'd like your birth<strong>day</strong> noted, but not the year (a gentleman never asks a ladies age<!-- but [kudra] is a very sexy 26 -->!), substitute '<strong>xxxx<!-- like sexxxx, but without the se... --></strong>' (yes, that's 4 letter x's) as the year. It'll be a couple days before I modify the stats pages to display this information.<br><br>
Remember, of course, that all this is voluntary. I understand that people may prefer not to give out their ages and email addresses, but putting yourself on the MonkMap should be harmless, and informative. If you're haven't done this, see [id://37653] for details.<!-- /me avoids mentioning that [cpan://CruiseMissile::Targetting] uses this information. [AgentM] better freakin' behave! -->
