Fire Eagle and MarcoPolo
Updating your location data with a two minute hack "Now, when the computer identifies the location you've arrived at, it will open the Fire Eagle website where (possibly after confirming your password) you will be asked to approve the change of location. This isn't quite as seamless as can be achieved with a dedicated application and an API key, but is a quick and simple method that does the job for me for the time being."

Combine a webloc file with the exceptionally RESTful URI format that Fire Eagle uses, and you have a quick way to update your location. Throw in MarcoPolo and you can skip clicking the file each time. |

Interesting both for the MarcoPolo app (which I wasn't aware of previously) and for the "not-faffing-with-the-API" method of updating Fire Eagle (not what I'd recommend, mind). Would be useful if I moved my Mac around. |
