Now you can track us live by satellite!

Yes indeed, you read that subject right.

By the power of the ElectronicInfoSatelliteInterHighwayTrackingLaserWeb, our position is going to be continuously transmitted and presented for your viewing pleasure, courtesy of a small white box that has been lent to us by some lovely people at the University of Durham.

Here's how it works:
  • Go to www.trackingservices.co.uk.
  • At the bottom, type username ytl (think "York to London") and password lty (which, as you may have observed, is the username backwards).
  • Click on "Maps and data"
  • and voilĂ !

(Note, though, that the times reported are in GMT, so you'll need to add an hour.)

Brilliant!
