Here is a way to make solar power plants act as if they were put on crank.
This idea came to me and my son when we were trying to recreate the Chena hot springs geothermal plant, using Pepsi bottles and the refrigerant from a can of air. We failed miserably, only because we were not using the right stuff. The Chena hot springs geothermal plant (CHSGP) turbines spin using r-134a a common refrigerant heated with water at 165°F, the water and refrigerant never mix. 165°F is far lower than the waters boiling point. The (chsgp) could be put on every solar farm that uses hot water to generate electricity simply use a solar water heater in place of drilling. Any mirror can boil water this dose not have to boil. This link is about the Chena hot spring geo thermal plant. Replace the drilling with a solar water heater and the cost falls by more than half, it produces more electricity than traditional solar plants. http://www.yourownpower.com/Power/#How it Works …

Where is the documentation for this plugin?

How does one insert a map into a post or a page?

I understand your frustration, I am the first one

disapointed by the slowness of development.
GoogleMapper 2 was born out of a need from one of our

client, the current implementation answer the needs of

that client. I worked on it at work and on my spare

time. I really like the Idea of contributing to the

common knolwdge pool known as open source.

So far, no new commercial demand arised, and my spare

time should be spelled spare time… At work I focus on

SEO, but vacation is coming in a few weeks, so you can

expect a benevolant update within two months.

A lot of cool stuff will come in the long run (unless

someone else want to contribute and speed up the

process). I want to include bulk uploads, but also a

new business information system, that will store

business units layout, stores, opening hours, contacts

and phone numbers, plus what I will imagine until we

implement it.

Then we should have a plugin that is capable of creating landing pages optimized for SEO with central and simple

information management, very usefull for secretaries

updating phone changes or offices relocations.

BTW, I really liked the Idea of contributing to the common knowledge pool known as open source.

So far, no new commercial demand arised, and my spare was sparse recently… At work I focus on SEO (commercial sponsorship still needs money to work )…

The good news is, vacation is coming in a few weeks. I think we can expect a benevolant update within two months.

If someone could help me with that .po translation stuff, I would be a happy programmer.

A lot of cool stuff will come in the long run. I want to include bulk uploads and proper translations, but also a new business information system, that will store business units layout, stores, opening hours, contacts and phone numbers, plus what I will imagine until we implement it.

I have the same issue as Sergio.
Being able to import stores from a text file is a key feature!
Please include it soon !
Thanks for this great plugin already

Your plugin has great potential for what I’d like to use it for. I’m trying to create a geomap of blog users. Each has their own profile with address. Is it possible, instead of creating new addresses to use with map, to pull the info from the existing database info instead? Could I ask for your help? I’m at a point where I’d be willing to pay for help also.

Comment on Do we need a unified desktop? by Joan Carribe

When Steve Jobs “left” Apple (it was a couple of months after getting John Scully to be the new CEO at Aple) he founded Next Computers and developed the platform called NextStep. It’s a blend of Unix system with PostScript Display system. Basically, the diplay was like a live printer using the same language to display to the screen, as the one used to print documents. Then OpenStep API was elaborated mainly by SUN Microsystems and Next. It was supposed to be a new universal API. Next Computers was not a success, being waayy too ahead of it’s time. Today, MacS X inherited OPENSTEP and pushed it further, but it

~~In fact, the grand father of all graphical computers was invented by Xerox’s Palo-Alto Research Center.~~

I was excited about the Next products, I guess someone’s ego trumped all over it. How do you get vendors such as Adobe to target something like OpenStep ?

Anyway, good luck with your project.
