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
Weihnachten 2008 in Deutschland
This year for Christmas I went over to Germany to see some family I haven’t seen for 11 years. I really should learn some more German, so that I can speak with my grandmother, rather than needing my cousin, to translate for me. She learnt more English than I learnt German, though she needs to… Continue reading Weihnachten 2008 in Deutschland
Review OpenStreetMap South Bank Meetup
Last Wednesday there was an OpenStreetMap meetup in London on the South Bank. In all there was 15 people there. It was an interesting evening because there was many new faces, most of whom were developers using OpenStreetMap data in some shape or form. Does anyone have ideas for central London pubs that we could go… Continue reading Review OpenStreetMap South Bank Meetup

Bradford Mapping Party
On Saturday 27 September I done a day trip to Bradford for an OpenStreetMap mapping party. It was almost 5 hours of travel in each direction, but was worth having some face to face discussion with some of the other mappers and developers. I mapped most of sector 6, with the exception of the South… Continue reading Bradford Mapping Party
Day Trip to Calais
On Saturday I took a random day trip to Calais on the train and ferry. It’s been eleven years since I last travelled on the Dover to Calais ferries. This time I was on foot instead of being in a car. I learnt quite a few things that I should do differently the next time.… Continue reading Day Trip to Calais
Last of the London Mapping Marathon Tomorrow
Tomorrow, will be the final installment of the Summer 2008 London Mapping Marathon. We will be moving to the Fortnightly Winter 2008-9 Random Pub Meetup. Each week will be a different pub in a potentially unmapped area, for those hard core mappers out there. I’m looking for suggestions on where we could go. On the… Continue reading Last of the London Mapping Marathon Tomorrow
Baker Street/Regents Park Mapping Party
This evening there will be a mapping party in the Baker Street/Regents Park area of London. I wonder if we will beat last week’s record 15 people at the Euston mapping party. Maybe we will even get a local paper publishing a small article about the event, like the Croydon Advertiser and the Croydon Guardian… Continue reading Baker Street/Regents Park Mapping Party
Back to the Start
The main aim of the next 3 mapping parties will be to enter points of interest, fix fixmes, and verify that the current data is correct, near to where OpenStreetMap originally started 4 years ago. Tomorrow is the 18th Mapping party of the London Mapping Marathon. It will be held around Euston Station, meeting up… Continue reading Back to the Start
