    GPS accuracy?

    iPhiGeNie, available on iPhones and dddddroids, offers the European 1950 UTM Datum grid reference system, and a number of others, including the Lambert 93 datum, needed in France if you access any government databases.

    What are "robots" doing on the forum?

    wayfarer, I'm not talking about the forum. I'm talking about how my use of the forum is suddenly flooding every other site I visit with Camino related ads. Are you sure that you still aren't being tracked by Google just because you don't see ads on this forum when you donate? I've cleared my...

    What are "robots" doing on the forum?

    If I have to see ads, I'd rather get ones related to the site I'm visiting, such as related subject matter, NicoZ. It's creepy to see an ad for Camino tourism services when I'm looking up food recipes.

    What are "robots" doing on the forum?

    About those robots again... all that indexing being done of this forum by the likes of Google, the American NSA (walking the Camino is for many a deeply religious activity after all), etc., results in me receiving constant reminders--on almost every website that I visit--that I am interested in...

    Cell Phone Options

    I did read the fine print, even before you tried to assist my frail brain circuits. Given that it is a US cellphone company it's astounding that the rate is so low, even if it is 2G (which is just fine for emails). If you want to watch tv on your Camino, then no, it won't work for you. The EU...

    Cell Phone Options

    I just read that T-Mobile in the US is now offering free global data roaming and texting, plus a flat 20 cents charge per minute for calls internationally with their standard plans. It covers Spain.

    Bamboo socks

    I looked for bamboo socks online and found a few different kinds that were blends of materials including bamboo. I think calling then 'bamboo' socks is more a marketing tactic than a manufacturing truth. Perhaps the disparity in the results found by those who have tried 'bamboo' socks is due to...

    Schengen Visa Issues!

    Hi piogaw, I just checked and this is what the Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland says about getting Irish citizenship: "If you were born outside Ireland to an Irish citizen who was himself or herself born outside Ireland, and any of your grandparents were born in Ireland, then you are...

    Unplugging

    How do you know it's not all in-vitro? And that's not the sole meaning of 'human contact'!

    Schengen Visa Issues!

    Ummmm, we do play a small part :)

    Unplugging

    To me, as a recovering philosopher, it is interesting that the whole sense of 'unplugging' here seems to be found in actual human contact rather than 'online connectivity' with others, since most of us seem to be engaged--at the same time--in finding the absolute-est high-tech solutions to...

    Schengen Visa Issues!

    I'm not sure how, unless it only applied to one sex of offspring.

    Unplugging

    I love the updates to the camera app on iOS 7. No problems here either.

    Schengen Visa Issues!

    Haha, I just did. Before 1948 mothers don't count. Sexist.

    Dog....or ....no Dog ?

    During my training I've been accompanied by my dog, who is an Australian Shepherd, a work dog. He loves coming, especially when we are on forest paths and he can be off-leash. He likes it a lot less on roads. We've done some long distance hikes, one of roughly 40 kilometers, but it took us a...
