Google Earth German Geographical Data and Wikipedia Article References!

As written earlier I fool around with Google Earth.
Today I found a KML file for German geographical data (Austria, Germany, Switzerland). Furthermore a KML file with references to Wikipedia articles. They link to the German articles, but that doesn’t matter much since you can switch to English for every article on the left side of Wikipedia articles! 🙂

GeoURL added!

I have found yesterday at So this is mass communication? a link which made me curious; GeoURL!

So what is that?

Let me quote them a bit:

GeoURL is, in brief, a geographical coordinates to URL reverse directory.

GeoURL is a location-to-URL reverse directory. This will allow you to find URLs by their proximity to a given location. Find your neighbor’s blog, perhaps, or the web page of the restaurants near you. GeoURL is listing 180,411 sites.

Unfortunately there are not much sites located in the near of me but still quite some nice ones! 🙂

Clicking on the GeoURL button on the left will lead you to the same listing!

Google Earth

Today, a friend of mine has suggested me to actually try out Google Earth. Yet it’s only beta, so means yet you can only search for US cities and countries. but you can manually scroll them and this way view other country’s cities, etc.

The depth, i.e. the details vary a lot from city/country. but for some areas you even see cars on the streets! 😀

Cannot be bad to try it out, but you need a pretty powerful PC and a fast internet connection! (broadband!)

Free Opera License!

I wanted to post about this long time go but I always forgot to actually do it.

Since quite a while you can get a free Opera license (it’s anyway for free but only with google ad-bar then).

I use Opera in Windows and Linux and the google ad-bar does not disturb me much.
but I anyway hope that some people think I am nice enough to get me one 🙂

You may have noticed that in some screenshots it’s missing. that is becuase I messed up my Opera’s .ini files (by accident!) so much that voice stopped working and the ad-bar disappeared. and the CSS styles for the email displayer were messed up.
I was able to re-cover the CSS styles for the email client but not to fix the voice and the ad-bar. hehe. well, and do not ask me how I did it, because I have NO IDEA!

And yes, I am totally serious!

Download Opera
