As you might have figured, I’m trying to integrate with every technology that is Hot. Today I decided to sidetrack from the Nepomuk integration and do another one in the meanwhile.

What you see in the image is the route of a mail message. You can see the origin of a mail in the map and how the message got to you…

It analyses the headers, grabs the ip-addresses of the mail servers, translates them to coordinates, start the MarbleWidget and draws the items on there.

Currently I use the unmaintained http://netgeo.caida.org-site to give me the coordinates which belong to an ip-address. I’m not so happy with that. I rather use the geoclue system, but I don’t really understand how to implement it.

Maybe someone has an idea what I can use best for the conversion from ip-address to location? Find me on freenode irc, nickname toma or leave a message.
