Way back in the day before space was a non-issue I bought a used pioneer 720 disk DVD changer. Wrote a frontend to control it and mount the DVDs over iscsi for my media center.
Also many years back when I was traveling all the time I created a thing based off the what 3 words data where I could geo drop messages at a location. My friends and I used it for a while but then just forgot about it.
That geolocation messaging sounds brilliant. I guess Pokemon Go stole your idea.
It was neat but I never thought it would go anywhere. The idea was kind of like being able to leave virtual graffiti. So anyone could leave their "Kilroy was here" but without actually defacing anything.
That seems like a cool idea, a bit like web annotations (which never took off) but for real world locations.
Ideally you can subscribe to different databases unlike say Google Maps reviews.
Fun idea, maybe I'll add something similar to my https://wherewords.id
Whoa, that DVD changer is almost as big as a server rack. I'd love to have that in my garage.
