Hi all,
Is there any way of putting in location information automatically, eg.
in a Diary or Journal entry? I was thinking of some sort of IP location
based service (some web based ones are free, or even google). Or, a
connected cellphone with GPS is also a possibility.
I can see how the iphone app will benefit (although I don't have one
(yet)). Not sure how quick the processors in phones are these days, but
coupled with a barcode scanning .el it might be a handy thing to carry
around (eg. "buy mama bear's oldstyle honey from shop near bridge below
highway 9" can be done in one point and click.)

Erik, Thanks for the link. Did anyone do anything more on this? If
not, I can try to hack up some pymacs extensions.
