Static Maps API is required if you want to display maps in a web application for a mobile device. Although most mobile devices have a custom Google Maps application installed, there is no way for a web application to interact with it, so the Static Maps API is very welcome.

Thanks for the link love!

Speaking of expanding try() to include options:

Hi guys, I should have left you a better comment last week. I liked that you added some comments to the links in the show notes, just not that it was a copy-and-paste from your script (you even talked about this week). Some extra notes would be cool, maybe like:

  • Thruster
  • Jason’s fabulous new plugin that lets you do a massive, intense, rapid-fire insertion with high velocity and wide surface area.

Something like that. :D

Keep going on your podcasts and keep up the fire and high energy! Also, I miss the epic guitar when doing “the Edge”.

.02c, love, kodama

Ha Ha! I’m two for two! :)

I guess the epic guitar was replaced by the baby crying… love it!

I couldn’t find a link to install Try() anywhere. Can you please tell me where I can find that?

@subbu:

You just need to have the “class Object […]” code in your lib directory.


Sorry, comments are closed for this Post, but feel free to email Gregg & Jason with your input. We'd love to hear it.
