Quick update: The reason for the delay since last Thursday update has been that I screwed up the world map beyond all recognition (or in military speak I SUTWMBAR). I’ve been trying to recover from my error but have decided it is time to simply redo it. This isn’t a huge issue, I still have the original, unsmilied map, and with the code already written it is just a matter of putting new smileys in exactly the right place, tedious but simple. However, what I would like to do is to present a world map that is not much more than 100k in size The problem with the currnet map is that it simply has too many colors and color segments to efficiently compress (.gif is larger than .jpg by about a factor of 3). I have tried to find, but have so far failed, a **larg** line map or solid color map of the world. As an idicator of size, I would like to be able to put at least 6 smilies in England. If anybody could point me to one I would be most grateful. ---

The map is great, guys! I love how you can point at the smiley, see what the town is and who is there. Looking at the US map, it seems all of our states have been Doperized except for two - Vermont and New Hampshire. Wonder what their story is? ---
