I'am facing some trouble to access all Google services. It is a kind of DNS problem of my ISP. I tried to solve this problem temporary by myself using Tor because Ubuntu Dapper has Tor. Unfortunately, the latest Tor in Ubuntu Dapper is 0.1.1.16 which is already obsoleted so I saw below log in /var/log/tor/log.

Since there are so many resources on this planet, it would be beautiful to see them on the earth graphically. offers this kind of applications could be implemented in a few hours using or . All you need to know are pairs of latitude and longitude to identify where they are. Well, I also want to show the map in full-screen for easily navigating around the globe.
