My first FireEagle query

About 10 lines of Python can now work out my physical location.

Next task, integrate this info into my blog. Task after that? A cool ambient location-setter idea I'm hatching.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Jabber bot that sits in your roster, waits for you to log in, looks for a Resource string and sets your location?

A bluetooth client that detects the proximity of your phone and sets your location?

um.

something else?

hmmm, seems like any IM client could do this easily by IP. Is this more granular than IP location - like considering nearby access points?

It'd be cool for biz travel if my laptop told GrandCentral not to ring the home phone if I'm in another time zone..
