I use Moves for this. I figured, nameless corporations know where I am all the time, I might as well, too. It's shockingly handy--also for things like "wow, that driving route worked GREAT! where did I go again?"

But now that means Facebook knows, too, apparently. Can't win.

sudo where the fuck did I park?

Also I'm not really sure I want Google to know where I park.

Also also, apparently Google needs something like 45MB of space for just the updates to their Android standalone websearch application, along with 500MB more of just the updates to a bunch of other included shit that I will never use the application of, since it's right all right there on webpages that are easier to access. So I uninstalled it all, or the updates at least (you helpfully can't uninstall the entire applications for included stuff). Then my phone helpfully starts reinstalling all these updates right after I'm done.

Also also also, I found THAT out because I was troubleshooting their Play store not downloading a song, since my phone helpfully doesn't include a silent ringtone. It would STREAM the five seconds of silence, repeatedly, but not download the 400KB file (that's some great encoding there, folks) unless I was connected to wifi, even though I have an unlimited data plan. But it would reinstall that 500MB of updates over my cell plan just fine.

OK, I think I'm done now. Thanks, theweaselpsychologist!

Useful or not, but this is sort of getting fucking creepy, Google.
