Hello Christian!
Your library is great, became a standard, and I’ve been using it for a long time now!
However, with recent changes to the YQL, it doesn’t work anymore, when you try to get geo-info from IP.
And this is because querying flickr.places from YQL fails now, no matter what. Thus geo.places can’t get a woeid to query.
Please notice that pidgets.geoip returns the latitude and longitude correctly from a given IP.

Can you think of any workarounds? You are the only one I depend on! :)

Chris, your blog throws a warning about malware in Chromium. When I visit anyway, I get some pdf file downloaded automatically (myreadme.php.pdf) which I deleted on the assumption that it’s malware. Chromium then gives a warning box saying “this site wants to download multiple files to your computer: allow/deny”.

All of which is to say, I think you’ve got some funky shit going down at your blog that you ought to take a look at.
