This is a live map of activity on the IRC channel, #Node.js on irc.freenode.net

Wow they're not going to get any work done on there tonight!

Mathias (mape) said he put together in 48 hours. I'm really looking forward to his http://nodeknockout.com entry.

here's what it looks like for those without web socket browsers: http://img.skitch.com/20100701-1hsg3n1g7akjutqe7h63g4n4e.png

Awesome stuff! Especially the fonts and graphics make it look very geeky. I watched Wargames just 2 days back :)

I wonder how he maps it on an image of the world map? Is it possible to mark co-ordinates on an image of a world map? I always thought I had to use Google/Yahoo maps API to do such mapping.

View the Javascript source:

function convertLatLngToPx(lat, lng)

Thanks!

But my doubt was close. I was just wondering how to mark lat/lang on a different image of world map. Suppose if the map image is other than the one being used in the app (different size etc), would it require any calculations to be able to mark the lat/long at the right place?

I want something like this for MailChimp...

Is the code somewhere?

And what are the connections between 2 dots that look like a missile's path?

The code will be MIT licensed, just need to get everything worked out. I'll give a shout at @mape on twitter when it is released as well as leave a comment here.

When you mention someone else's nick.

The connections are when one person replies to another.

You've heard of View Source, right?

It's not all client-side.

Fair enough, I got what I deserved.

this is win
