akiva-mobiledatabase it04:23
akiva-mobileand use that to generate a real world map04:23
akiva-mobilethe possibilities with that are tremendous.04:24

willwhthe problem of course is population04:24
akiva-mobilewillwh, fantasy would be hard04:24

willwhctrl + alt + t works for me :P04:30
akiva-mobilewillwh, but to have a perpetually active one04:31
akiva-mobilei mean, ctrl alt f1 works as well, but blah04:32
BobJonkman2akiva-mobile, willwh: You may be looking for something like Guake -- sits in the top panel (I'm using Mate, a Gnome2 fork), and it pops in/out with F12. Doesn't open a new terminal or close a session, just displays it http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/guake or https://github.com/Guake/guake/14:57
