Sounds good.

Well, this was one of the locations where a total eclipse was shown. The 
problem is this, setGeoLocation city province country, many locations i.e.  
Abuja Nigeria have no province so the call naturally fails. 

Maybe I'll just put the script in a tarball to preserve the permissions as I 
have done with the others, thanks for the tip. :)
