The last few days I was ill. Nothing serious, but a rather severe case of sinusitis. While laying in bed, I remade my photoblog SilentShutter. Instead of using MovableType as CMS, I switched to PixelPost. The latter is more focussed on publishing photos. Also the amount of comment-spam I received with MT was that bad that I switched off the option of commenting. But I started SilentShutter (also) in order to receive comment, so this was a bad situation… I tweaked an existing template (changed some things in the CSS-files) and loaded some old and newer photos. It is up and running now and I am happy with it. Some more work need to be done, but this will probably need to wait for another illness

While looking up the location of a geocache on Google Maps, I spotted the shadow of an airplane on the ground. Small, but recognisable. This sparked an idea: I combined the two: Geocaching and Google… A kind of loungechair geocaching: who can find more airplanes (flying that is!) on Google Maps? I can hardly imagine that this is the only one photographed. The first official ‘planespot’ can be seen on the map at 52.394943 and 4.71649. Happy to see if anyone can find more. Or was this a lucky shot?
Update (12 Feb. 2007): here’s another one (and it’s shadow?) And this is rather obvious…
