Miscellaneous Web Glue
stand-alone
- keyboardless keyboard
- Ever get stuck at a web browser kiosk with no keyboard?
Couldn't figure out how to enter the URL you wanted? This
might help. Of course, you have to get to this page first. It
uses Javascript. I could make one that used only forms and a
CGI program, but it'd run much slower.
Server-Based
These depend on other people's servers, so they're probably all broken
by now.
- coordinate finder
- Find the coordinates of any US street address through a
web form. Take a look at the perl
stuff that drives it if you want.
- directions
- [People provide this service directly now, so we don't have to
hack it anymore.]
Get driving directions and maps for routes between two
arbitrary points. I first hacked this up to make
directions to my house, back before they made this stuff
convenient. If you want to customize this, look at
the source for that. The CGI script
for this one is pretty simple.
