Paul! Tracking System to MOTD online!

Hey all, I'm about to start heading down to the Dragon with ssallykat, JustJay, and MININurse! If you want to see our progress (and if you do, ask yourself why?? ), I'm going to put my GPS into 'Live' mode so you can (hopefully) see our progress! You can also send text messages to me straight to my GPS (and I can respond via a multiple choice system), just as long as I have cell phone coverage!

Anyway, feel free to send me comments and whatnot. It'll keep me entertained for the drive!

See y'all there!

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.3
(OS is Kubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 if that helps)

Update: Works fine under Winders XP.
Update++: Works like a charm.

The route so far was easy...get on 81 south, and follow it.

You guys drive slow. 7pm, and you're not there yet.
