 On Friday, an aircraft hired by Google will be doing a series of low-level swoops over parts of Sydney, photographing the ground and waters below...(Article)

...and apparently so is Microsoft.(other article)

So I pointed it out to our dear chum Dogthinkers who lives there...

"yeah, me and a forum full of geeks are all planning to do moonies at the plane"

 For the Microsoft one, you should arrange some large, highly visible objects to spell out "LINUX"....

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.

 Yeah... So if you look at Sydney in Google Maps in a few weeks, and discover a cluster of arses pointing up to the sky, it's quite likely one of them will be mine lol.

Gible is trying to persuade me to make a giant Stars! logo or something, but I'm not convinced I'm quite that dedicated Smile Maybe I can persuade the arses to spell out www.gible.net ...

 Please be sure someone has a handheld GPS so you can post the Latitude and Longitude here and make it easier for us to find it Very Happy
