You asked for it, we heard you ask for it… we listened and nodded, smiling…
Now we’ve actually done something about it; extra pins that you add to your maps are now deletable.
To do this, select the pin you want to blast out of existence, and click the innocuously named ‘delete’ link at the bottom right of the map. One quick password entry form later and it’s gone for good.
Scary disclaimer: Please don’t delete pins you didn’t mean to, because we won’t be able to easily get them back for you – once it’s gone, it’s gone.
How does this lead to editing, I hear you say? Well, now you can delete extra pins, you can simply remove those you which to change and replace them with pins containing shiny new text, or moved to a different place. Editing nirvana is upon us! We’ve put a special delivery box in the office lobby dedicated to cards, flowers and letters of thanks. Just in case.
By the way, our new and extremely brilliant web developer Tristan has now started, and this was one of the first things he worked on. Now he’s started we’ve more time to work on the project, so expect some more exciting things from Pin in the Map in the near future.

For those of you following the invoice DSL project, please head over to pa.rsons.org and sign on up. I’ll post future articles there as they fit better on that blog.
In the future, I plan to keep this blog focused on Pin in the Map updates, and the other services we run.
Thanks

We’ve screwed around with the ad placement on some of the information pages today. Sorry if this is irritating, but we think the ads are marginally less irritating now we’ve only got one ad on the page. Two ads just looked messy.
The aforementioned sneak preview is a little closer to fruition. We’re working hard on it now the holiday season is behind us… but progress has been slow going up until now.
We’re planning on releasing a sneak preview to premium pin owners in the near future. More after the jump.
Partly explaining the delay in work over August is the fact that I just bought a new shiny white Macbook. Oh the joy. After decades of Windows programming, and years of frustrated attempts to use Linux as a primary desktop OS, it’s just wonderful to find a unix-based OS that just works.
Oh, and it looks fantastic, too. Even hard-bitten late-night coders are weak-willed when faced such wonders. I find myself hitting F12 repeatedly, just to watch my dashboard transition; I occasionally even Cmd-Esc, to switch to Front Row and back, just for the kick. Never underestimate the power of the swishy.
