UPDATE: this plazes2kml.rb now has it's own page

Chris Messina had a cool idea to map his plazes history onto Google Earth, but needed some programming help. So I whipped up a quick ruby script (GPL and MIT licensed) that can be run to grab the data and output it as KML. It runs from the command line, or from within TextMate with cmd-r.

Find it in my svn repo at:

From the usage:
