where.is.michaelbumann.com

my location log stored in git commits (in the locations branch). Have a look at where.is.michaelbumann.com for a nice map and list of recent places.

Got a recommendation for a place I should visit? Please create an issue.

Development

All in one:

adds location entries to an ul.location-list, fills .current-location and .next-locaton

$.get('https://api.github.com/repos/bumi/travels/commits?sha=locations', function(commits) {
  var max = commits.length;// > 11 ? 11 : commits.length;
  var future = [];
  var past = [];
  commits = commits.sort(function(c1, c2) { 
    var d1 = new Date(c1.commit.author.date);
    var d2 = new Date(c2.commit.author.date); 
    if(d1 < d2) { return 1; }
    if(d1 > d2) { return -1; }
    return 0;
  });
  for(var i=0; i < max; i++) {
    try {
      var c = commits[i].commit;
      var commitMessage = c.message.split("\n");
      var data = JSON.parse(commitMessage[commitMessage.length-1]);
      var arrival = new Date(c.author.date);
      var area = data.city || data.state || 'somewhere';
          
      var message = area + ', ' + data.country;
      if(arrival > new Date()) {
        $('.next-location').html('Planned: ' + message + ' (' + arrival.toDateString() + ')'); // assumin the last commit in the future is the next stop. which is wrong, needs to get smarter and calculate the nearest in the future
        $('.location-list').append('<li class="future">' + message + ' (' + arrival.toDateString() + ')</li>');
        future.push(c);
      } else {
        if(past.length === 0) { 
            $('.current-location').html(message); // assuming the first in the past is the current location
        }
        $('.location-list').append('<li class="past">' + message + '</li>');
        past.push(c);
      }
      
      $('.location').show();
      
    } catch(e) {
      // ignore
    } 
  };
});

Get latest location:

$.get('https://api.github.com/repos/bumi/travels/commits?sha=locations', function(commits) {
  for(var i=0; i < commits.length; i++) {
    try {
      var c = commits[i].commit;
      var commitMessage = c.message.split("\n");
      var data = JSON.parse(commitMessage[commitMessage.length-1]);
      var area = data.city || data.state || 'somewhere';
      $('.current-location').html(area + ' in ' + data.country);
      $('.location').show();
      return true;
    } catch(e) {
    } 
  };
});

Get list of locations:

$.get('https://api.github.com/repos/bumi/travels/commits?sha=locations', function(commits) {
  commits.forEach(function(commit) {
    try {
      var c = commit.commit;
      var commitMessage = c.message.split("\n");
      var data = JSON.parse(commitMessage[commitMessage.length-1]);
      var area = data.city || data.state || 'somewhere';
      $('.location-list').append('<li>' + area + ' in ' + data.country + '</li>');
      $('.location').show();
      return true;
    } catch(e) {
    } 
  });
});
