Amazing job! Thanks for all the work!

so, let me get this straight in my head, red means lots of people downloaded right?

well, that one single solitary dark red in the south of Ireland must therefore have been me! (or at least, partly :) ) ... I especially love that we kicked Dublin's ass!

very impressive skills, and useful!

[nympholept]

dammit! i never actually stated anywhere that "red means lots"
hopefully the mention of "hot spot" will make people think "red means hot"/"blue means cold" though
The final overlay image included in the download says "the redder the shape, the more people" - maybe i should update the screenshots - meh!

but solitary dark red is pretty weird, but it makes sense for cities that don't sprawl so much.

[nympholept]

of course, the blue and the green have the same amount of red in them, but dont tell anyone.

Never let anyone call you a nerd, Nympholept - without prefacing it with the words "incredibly cool".
:-)

[nympholept]

nobody has called me a nerd in many years, i'd never really thought about it!

they usually just stick with the "incredibly cool" part :P
