    You might be interested in this alternative approach to creating Google Calendar "Reminder Buttons":

        "Hack Three : 'Make Event Reminder Button' Bookmarklet"
        http://stuff.rancidbacon.com/google-calendar/hack/

    With this new bookmarklet you no longer need to construct the reminder buttons by hand or reenter the information elsewhere.

    I've updated the hack notes a little also.

    I've added a bookmarklet to the above page to allow you to Add Another Date Picker to the Google Calendar navigation bar as a proof of concept.

    If someone wants to make a start on the hacking this might be helpful:

    Rough Google Calender Class and Function Reference

    It's a cross referenced and pretty printed version of the Google Calender source code.

  5. [OT] GmailMaps - Gmail and Google Maps integration by follower-fillet · · Score: 1 · on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript

    Here's one of the results of my reverse engineering so far:

    "Ever since I'd been working on various Google Maps hacks I'd been thinking, 'Hmmm, I've done Gmail hacks and Gmaps hacks, what could I do that would combine both?'. ... I decided to parse incoming messages for geographic locations and provide a way to view a map of the location...

    This page includes some very basic instructions for using an initial rough version of this functionality that only maps US State/Zip codes locations. (The current version is a bookmarklet, but it would be ideal for a GreaseMonkey script...)"

    I whipped up a google maps hack of geolocation of Illinois registered sex offenders: http://demon.dopeman.org/sexOffenders/ It was amazingly easy.

    I used all of the tutorials and shit that the rancidbacon peeps created. made it rather simple. actually delightful.

    now if i was only mapping locations of something cool.. rather than depressing things.

    stupid maps.

    Here is another version of a Craigslist/GoogleMaps Mashup and features the ability to view the Satalite images also...

    It is based on the Standalone Google Maps which has a hosted version at MyGmaps.
