Here’s the videos in the order they were recorded: Friday 18th Jan 2013 Tariffa and problem management in Africa A demonstration… Continue reading Videos of the talks at Wherecamp.eu Rome 2013

My Talk at State of the Map Scotland 2012
This year at State of the Map Scotland 2012 I spoke about the ITO Map tool to highlight the more detailed OpenStreetMap data available, which generally isn’t shown on maps. I’ve mentioned a few other services that I find interesting that maybe aren’t so well known. This blog post is a summary of that talk.… Continue reading My Talk at State of the Map Scotland 2012
Live map on First Great Western entertainment carriages
On some longer distance First Great Western trains they have an entertainment carriage in coach D. This is the Live map feature which attributes CloudMade maps that highlight the rail lines. The attribution fades after a few seconds.
Bulk loading data into OpenStreetMap
Some of you who were at WhereCampUK, Nottingham in November 2010, may recognise the discussion in this blog post as it is based on my talk there. Since the early days of OpenStreetMap, people have been bulk importing data into the database. There have been various issues with many of the previous import methods, which… Continue reading Bulk loading data into OpenStreetMap

Not forgetting the significantly more people who came to the meetup… Continue reading Edinburgh OpenStreetMap meetup on Tuesday
Cycling: London to Dover via Margate and Ramsgate
Yesterday (Saturday) I done one of my rather large February cycles. I didn’t go quite as far as last year’s 150 mile cycle, though I still done more than the 70-100 miles I was anticipating doing. In total it was about 115 miles (the last 4 miles were from Bromley South station home). The total… Continue reading Cycling: London to Dover via Margate and Ramsgate
New Year cycling
With the extra eating over Christmas, I’ve started out on my (evening) cycling again. On the 1st of January I headed out East and got to Rochester before getting on the train home. On the way near to Ebbsfleet International I found a rather interesting sign that I just had to take a picture of.… Continue reading New Year cycling
