Around The World In 1 Year (On A Website)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the vacation-on-sealand dept.

chrischoo writes "From the guys who brought you a crushing experience, Tsunamii.Net and Fragnetics are working on taking the Tsunamii.Net website around the world by obtaining webhosting services in 44 countries. Known as alpha 3.8 Translocation, it is commissioned by the Walker Arts Center. The website is now on it's second stop in Malaysia. Our teams need the help of the Slashdot community to plot a traceroute for each server we visit. Traceroutes are plotted onto a world map which is refreshed every time the website stops at a new server in a different geographical location. Our next stops include Thailand and Myanmar. It'll be great if we have more people willing to sponsor a webserver from your country to host one of the Tsunamii stopovers!"

    Their next adventure should be keeping a log of the IP's that helped slashdotted them.

    Then plot that on a map, and see where the bulk of the /.'ing came from.

    This is something I was pondering before...It would be interesting to put lat/lon coordinates for various hosts in a domain's TXT records. Seems easy enough, I suppose. I guess it would have its limitations, but hey.
