Hey there, congrats on the new place. Nice pic. Hopefully i’ll see the real thing soon, and we can drink to celebrate the past events and more or less smoothley they went.

Yes, we’re very happy that we finally are done! It’s hard to believe and feels somewhat surreal still.

We still have a big mess at home, but eventually we’ll sort things out.

You’re welcome to come by anytime you wish thought!

Здорово, поздравляю с новосельем!
Фотографии двух последних постов очень контрастны. Почти как в журналах - “до” и “после” : )
Уложиться в один день - это вы молодцы. Жду с нетерпением новых фоток и рассказов о квартире.
Все хотела спросить - а какой у вас этаж?

Ох, поздравляю! У меня радость возникает от проделанной уборки, когда вокруг ненадолго образуется красота, представляю, какие чувства вы испытываете от приобретения вашего дома! Желаю в нем уюта и тепла

Большое спасибо за поздравления! Мы на самом деле очень рады, и пока что нам тут очень нравится.

Этаж у нас 7ой, 7ми этажного дома. Мы долго искали, и уже начали терять надежду что сможем найти последний этаж. Но в конце концов нам повезло - хоть квартиры на последних этажах стоят дороже, все равно приятно что над головой никого нет, и из окон прекрасный вид на город.

Оооооо….
Впечатляет!
Приличный такой разгром
Да, коробок много. А еще вам надо было купить большие клетчатые сумки для одежды и т.д.
Удачи в переселении и в распаковывании вещей : ) Верю, враг будет повержен и капитуляция будет полной и безоговорочной, т.е. распакуете все свои вещи, наведете порядок, создадите уиют и будете жить поживать

PS А еще вспомнила своего кота. Как же он любил наши переезды. Для него не было ничего лучшего, как потусить по коробкам, поизучать все эжти “норы”. В конечном итоге он выбирал самую высокую точку и дрых там, пока неначинали выносить вещи.

Moi iskrennie pozdravlenia! Nemnogo sobytii v jizni molodoi pary mogut sravnitsia s pereezdom v SVOU kvartiru. Esli ia pravilno ulovila sut statei bloga, to vy ee kupili? Eto zdorovo. Teper obstavites, objivetes, a tam i detishki, gliadish, v skoresti…. Prejniaa kvartira mne ochen ponravilas. Vse so svkusom, nichego lishnego. A vash by bar, da v nashi ruki! Ne bos’, Danina kollektsia? U menia podrujka zdes est, ona barmenom rabotala. Tak u nas chto ni povod, to takoe raznoobrazie koktelei! I shtrafnye, i pososhki, i za sinie noski! No, kak ni stranno, utrom nikakih posledstvii. A u vas “Belovejskaia” v kollektsii est? Moschnaia vesch. Snachala napominaet lekarstvo, a kogda privyknesh, to luchshe net nichego. Mojet, ona nastoiana ne na travah, a na travkah? Samu moemu nichego drugogo teper i ne predlagai. No… jdem popolnenia zapasov. Nasha zakonchilas, teper do iulia jdat nado, poka roditeli ne priedut.

Самое глаавное свое Сокровище ты уже упаковала, судя по фотке
А судя по растерянному выражению Дадиного лица, вещей у вас действительно много

Упаковали!! Помогите!!

Я притащил пару коробок с работы, чтоб мы могли начинать складывать вещи. Немного не рассчитал с размерами. В этот ящик не только я могу вместится, но если постараться, то и Лёнчик тоже влезет.

Вобщем пользы от них никакой, потому что если эту коробку загрузить, то её уже никак не поднять.

If we pack up Lënchik and you who’s going to load up the boxes in the truck?

Hey, I didn’t know you had a life-size Jack-In-A-Box!;)

That would be Dan-In-A-Box. One would hope you’d remember my name by now. Tsk tsk.

Well, you know… brain damage.

Очень стильные часы, смотрятся классно!
Думаю, всякие внешние навороты позволяются только женщинам, и то некрасиво, когда их очень много.

Поздравляю!
Желаю, чтобы все было ОК.
Да, хлопот много, но это приятные хлопоты
У меня вещей немного меньше, чем у вас, но переезд всегда внушал какой-то ужас, хотя каждый раз заканчивался благополучно.
Для меня непряжнее всего всегда перевозить хрупкие вещи, т.к. их надо тщательно упаковывать ,чтобы не разбились.
Запасайтесь коробками и оборточной бумагой!
Машинка на фотке хороша

Congrats.
Tell Alenushka not to worry about the big stuff, you’ve got me remember?

And you shouldn’t worry about the small stuff, because well, you’ve got me again .

I am positive that it will be a piece of cake move,
really doubt that it will take more then 2 days. I’m actually thinking if you guys and gals prep up well we’ll be able to get it all done in one day, and day two will be for unpacking.

Dude, I’m totally counting on you! I also asked Moisha to take a day off, and I know that’s a LOT to ask. But if he can’t make it, I don’t know what we will do, since I’ve been having health problems with lifting stuff.

Worst case, maybe you can grab some friend, and we’d pay him or something.

And yeah, we’re planning to spend the next 2 weeks packing, and should be ready by the move day.

Да мы на самом деле уже как то привыкли к тому что у нас в гостях Таня. Седня первый день как она уехала, и прошёл он как то скучно и даже грустно.

Мне тоже очень грустно, что так все быстро закончилось.
Мне все очень-очень понравилось! В который раз говорю вам с Даней спасибо!!! Это были две просто восхитительные недели!
С одной стороны, конечно же, США, такая великая страна, все новое, куча эмоций и т.д., но с другой стороны - такое душевное общение получилось. Мне его будет очень не хватать… Очень… Ужины у Даниных родителей, готовка еды на кухне с беседами с Аленой, завтраки с просмотром Стар Трек, ужины, прогулки.. Эх…
Было душевно, весело, интересно!
Эх, жаль, что так все быстро прошло. Думаю, что мы еще обязательно увидимся и затусим!!!
Спасибо!

Dang it, for some reason i can’t get my Russian keyboard to work.

Yea definitely feel like somethings missing when Tanya left.
Her presence always warmed me up, and the way she looked at me with her green eyes (which i thought were a little grayish but Alenushka changed that thought) just brought sheer happiness to me.
I really wish her visit was at least a little while longer. But work is work.

She’s the one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met 1000 times sweeter then any candy I’ve ever had.
We all miss you very much.

Ленчик, спасибо за все теплые слова, мне безумно приятно!
Ты тоже классный! От тебя всегда исходит такая волна богатой, позитивной энергетики, что просто порой мурашки по коже, и все проблемы кажутся такими пустяковыми : ) Оптимист, энерджайзер и просто красавчик! Настоящая мужская харизма – это здорово. Я рада, что знакома с тобой. Вот.
И я тоже по всем вам скучаю…

Great little tool! Makes my map with a kml overlay so much easier to view.

Feature request, if you are so inclined: it would be nice if I could paste the code your tool generated previously, so I could tweek it without going through the whole generation process again.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the comment! I have tons of people using it, and you’re the first one who actually said something about it.

I was wondering when somebody would ask for what you’re asking - seems like an obvious thing to have. I’ll try to add that as soon as my schedule allows.

Thanks for the feedback, again.

Update: Added the ability to load some previously created code into the tool. Just paste the code that you already have into the Code text box, hit the Load button, and you can continue working on your map right where you left off.

Great tool Daniel. Thanks.

The IFrame tag should include the attribute
scrolling=”no”
This will remove scrollbars in IE.

I figure it’s up to the end user to do whatever they wish with the iframe. I personally always include frameborder=”0″ to remove the 3D border around the map.

Thanks for the feedback.

P.S. Usually scrollbars would appear in case you tried to change the size inside the style param in iframe tag, and didn’t change the params passed to the the map itself (there are 2 places where the size needs to be specified for everything to fit properly).

Hi Daniel Thank you for this excellent tool !
But I have just a problem on my blog : the size of the map is not correct whith Firefox (and it it ’s OK with IE…) I don’t find the solution …
ex : map of Venezia at the end of this post : link

best regards - Marc (from France)

Hmm, I truly don’t see why, but Firefox seems to be ignoring the style tag on iframe there. Try to remove it, and replace it with the following:

width=”455″ height=”455″ frameborder=”0″

That should fix the problem. Wonder if anyone else will notice the reason for FF ignoring the styles.

Daniel, hey thanks for so quickly responding to my feature request. I just used the new load’n'go and it worked super-duper. I’d added more hike’n'bike trails to my map (kml) and needed to change the zoom and center. Rock’n'Roll (don’t know why I’m so ‘n’ crazy today!)

Hi Daniel,

I find the solution the good code is :

@+marc

Hey,
I tried out your tool about a week ago, and coming back to actually implement my embedded map, it seems that I cannot get my KML to overlay with your tool anymore. It shows up on the Working Map on the left, but not on the Final Map on the right or in my webpage. I think it is a fantastic solution to what I’d like to do. Thoughts?

Hmm, strange. I just tried it, everything seems to work. Which browser are you using? Are you trying to create a map from scratch, or loading it from previously created code?

Let me know, more and I’ll try to figure it out.

Is there anyway to embed a map, but keep the zoom flexible? So you could zoom in and out on it?

Yes, just put a check next to “Map Control” and that will give you [+] and [-] to zoom in and out on the final map.

Hi Daniel,
Thanx for the tool. It’s great so I mentioned it on my weblog:
link
(sorry, Dutch)
Why not offer a few predefined sizes in a pull down menu?
And leave the “style” and use the traditional width and height instead (in mho)

Update: The width and height parameters are now saved as normal HTML properties of IFRAME object and are no longer a part of the style tag.

Great tool. I easily embedded the map. I only have one marker on my map. Do you know a way to have the info window for that marker showing by default?

Hey dude, just wondering if KML files created in picassa work with your app.

I am trying for it, would be a big help if you could tell me ….

I’m not sure what Picasa creates, so the only way would be to just try and see.

With the info window showing right away - I’m afraid I don’t have control over it.

Hi. I’m suddenly experiencing the same trouble Clint indicated above. I’ve been using your tool successfully for a few weeks now and dealing with the GoogleMaps 50 marker limitation by splitting my maps.

BUT… all of a sudden my KML overlay is no longer appearing on the Final Map or my embedded maps, though it appears on the working map at left.

I’m using Firefox, and always have been since I started using your tool. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I love your tool Daniel. Been using it a lot lately in my blog. You should consider writing a spanish version of the page, I can help you with that. Also, I could write a spanish how-to like the one Noel Jenkins wrote. Let me know what you think. Cheers.

Thank you for the kind words. If you get the directions page in Spanish together, I will gladly link to it.

Just a quick note for any of your users who might be frustrated by a Google Maps API Key registration error when using your tool to embed maps…

If you’re using the dr2ooo tool and running the Inline Google Maps plugin, or any other (I presume) that requires you to register for an API Key, your site may generate an error that says: “The Google Maps API key used on this website was registered for a different web site.”

Disabling the plugin resolved the issue for me. Your tool is much better anyway! I talk about this in a bit more depth on my LiveWorkDream Roadtrip Maps page

i need support for ditu.google.com, it’s google’s china map. in scripts, just replace maps.google.com to ditu.google.com.
thanks~

Dear Daniel,
Thanks for this desperately needed tool. I have been using it for my travelogue, to display a few maps of Mongolia (if you go to autogeno.us, click on the “mongolia maps” link at the top of the right sidebar). My only frustration is that if I decide to add a link to one my marker’s callouts, I cannot get the link to open in a new page. Instead, it replaces the map inside the iframe. Is there a way around this? For example, in the Ulaanbaatar map I have, there’s a hotel marker for Michelle Hotel that has a link to the hotel’s home page-click on it to see what I mean.

Thanks for the excellent work!

You need to make those adjustments through the My Maps interface (where you build the maps themselves).

My tool only takes that map and embeds exactly as it was in My Maps.

On the My Maps interface, edit the HTML on the tabs and add target=”_blank” parameter to your links. That should solve it for you.

I’m using this over at energyshortage.blogspot.com tracking worldwide energy shortages and it’s great. Very interesting to see where energy issues are globally; adds a very nice visual touch.

Hi,
Just a quick note to say “you rock!” Thanks for sharing your “embed google my map” tool with the those of us not smart enough to create one for ourselves.

cheers
Helen

Hey Daniel! Thanks for this great program. Even with Google’s addition of a feature to automatically generate the iframe code, it still does not work in my Wordpress blog, so I have been continuing to use your program.

Tonight I find that I am no longer able to load the KML overlay, though…when I click the button to do so nothing happens. This happens both in linux under Firefox 1.5 and in my XP VM under IE7.

Is it just me?

Thank you for posting this. Indeed there was a problem. Something in API changed and KML overlay wasn’t working.

I’ve adjusted the code now and everything is back to normal. Let me know if it works for you too.

Thanks, Daniel! Sorry I could not get back to you sooner, but it is working again! I appreciate it very much!

Thanks for a great tool. Works a treat. I do have a bit of a cheeky question though,

Is there anyway of removing or shrinking the ‘build you own map’ button? I ask only because my site requires a small sized map and it covers a loy of info. Of course I’d be happy to place the link under the map if possible..?

Either way, thanks again!

Many thanks, Daniel.

Wanted to show the place where i grew up and your tool made it a cinch.

I saw your tool being used on this site http://www.215saint.com/ then I went and immediately applied it to this page http://calvincenter.org/directions.html

THANKS!

I’ having some difficulty with your embed google
map tool (which is great) how can I contact you?
I can’t get my google map to appear in the overlay feature
btw, beautifu graduation
I live in Windsor Terrac
