Web maps that don’t suck!
The things you find when you’re procrastinating.
For the longest time, I’ve tolerated the great annoyance known as WhereIs because I thought there were no alternatives. But I’ve just discovered I was wrong!

I was attempting to use WhereIs this morning… once I entered the address, the server sat and thought about that for several minutes and then reported that “WhereIs is currently undergoing an upgrade”.

Nice work, Hourann!
