Kevin's Watch

i did not know that Halifax was on Atlantic time. we may be going there next autumn for a week.

Look me up.

drew: have you suggestions of places to see? we are p[lanning on a driving tour. my people on my father's side came from Halifax. i am sending away for catologues and such from the tourism board.

The Catalouge shoul be free is you order the Doers and Dreamers guide.
Having been born and raised, I'm not sure of all the Touristy things--but if you land here early enough in the Fall-the Harbour Hopper should be running--it's a Amphibious tour--starting by driving though the Downtowm, and then it hits the Harbour, for a waterside view.

If you're driving, you have to go through the Annapolis Valley.
And especcially the Cabot Trail (in Cape Bretton Isalnd)--you've already seen it in many Car Comercials.

While in the city I'd also suggest one the Brewery Tours (the Alexander Keith's tour shows the Traditional way of brewing beer).
There is a Graveyard with tombs of many who died in the Titanic--the Martime Museam of the Atlantic is pretty cool..as is the Nova Scotia museam of Natural History---lots of Local exhibits likethe Porcupine Quill art of the Native Americans.
Of course you're going to want to find some local Cuisine--there are plenty of High Qulity Ittalian and Indian and French restaurants..but they usually have a nice local flare on their food.
The two best seafood restaurants are Murphy's on the Water, and Salty's--both of them are on peirs, right out in the Harbour.
(hope that helps a little)

If you do come up--we'll have to have hook up, we can have an Eh?-lohmfest.

drew: my wife is printing your reply. beer, mmmm. she says i was wrong about the time though. July or August.

Whoa, Juntel is on this map?!

I know!! Seriously, who's responsible for that?!

and yet Houston isn't?

I added myself. Its a close in as possible.

anyone else having problems with the KW Map page? All the "markers" have disappeared and I get this error:

Yep, I'm having the same problem.

--A

must be the page is corrupt somehow.....uh oh, corrupt? Lord Foul has a hand in this.....

I haven't used IE for quite some time. I use Mozilla Firefox
It's free, and renders the map correctly. Although Firefox doesn't always decipher css sheets properly, most sites are rendered properly.

So...IE problem huh? Oh Well.

It's possible it's a setting for your browser. Even in IE, the map rendered correctly until it was moved to the new url by Frappr, so perhaps you should check your privacy/advanced settings? It could be as simple as enabling cookies.

EDIT--forget what I just said. It's a coding error for the page. Frappr has to fix it on their end. (I just saw Esmer's screenshot).

I've been AFK for the past several days, although I posted a little bit last night.

It looks like the map has been moved to a new location that should pop up within five seconds. It's working fine on IE for me once it switches over to the new URL.

Doesn't work for me. *sigh* I bookmarked the new URL, and everything loads, map, members, etc. But not the little pointers. Oh well...

--A

I deleted all my "cookies", temporary files, history, etc, set my security to "low", total system cleanup and such and still no luck. The only thing I can think of is an IE update or java, etc., that may be "incompatible" with the web page. Older versions may still work fine. "At a loss", iow.....

i guess i shouldn't have tried to add the Lost island?

Now that's funny!
