<h3>To add yourself</h3>
<p>
<strong>Anonymously</strong>: create a `.somewhere` file in your home dir with <code>touch ~/.somewhere</code>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Publicly</strong>: create a `.here` file in your home dir with <code>touch ~/.here</code>

<h3>How does it work?</h3>
<p>Every 15 minutes this program runs `who --ips` and looks up geo info on any IPs it can, hits Google's geocode API to get some more general coordinates, which adds to <a href="where.json">this data</a> for <a href="map.html">this map</a>, and then generates the page you see here.</p>

<p>Every 15 minutes this program runs `who --ips` and then looks up IP geo info on opted-in, logged in users. It hits Google's geocode API with the "[Region], [Country]" data it found to get general coordinates, and generates <a href="where.json">this data</a>, stripping out usernames for anonymous users. When viewing the map, an AJAJ request is made to get the data and the points are added to the map.</p>
