My Presentation at State of the Map 2008
I’m currently at SOTM2008 in Limerick, Ireland. Just done my Lightening Presentation about the London Mapping Marathon. I have uploaded my lightening talk presentation to SlideShare.com. I have been twittering the events of the conference as they happen. I completely forgot to mention that CloudMade are providing no-names map tiles for the whole world. London… Continue reading My Presentation at State of the Map 2008
Cycling: London to Brighton
On Saturday I cycled from London to Brighton. It’s the first day long cycle that I’ve done since I cycled from Bletchley to Bedford and back, over a month ago. Yeah I did lots of cycling at the Woking Mapping party, but there was lots of breaks and cul-de-sacs. I couldn’t even get 10 minutes… Continue reading Cycling: London to Brighton
Mashed08
Last weekend I was at Mashed08. I stayed there overnight, so didn’t get much sleep. Didn’t do any mashing up, though I did finally start writing a bit of ruby code to take a file with a list of street names, and ask the OSMXAPI whether that street exists within a specified bounding box. It… Continue reading Mashed08

Instead I just unscrewed it (and took the screw with me so that the next cyclist doesn’t… Continue reading Screw in Tire
GoOOCon2008
From the 10th to 13th April I was in Prague, Czech Republic for GoOOCon, an OpenOffice.org conference hosted by Novell. I done a presentation about the Buildbot system in OpenOffice.org. I didn’t have time to prepare new slides, due to my move to London, so I just recycled my slides from ooocon2007. It was nice… Continue reading GoOOCon2008
Planet OSM.fr

Device Removal
I don’t touch anything, and my slow first generation MacBook will randomly come up with the above message. Maybe an uptime of 13 days is the cause? It is about time I rebooted into Kubuntu to get some updated maps on to my phone for TMJ. There has some considerable improvements in the maps in… Continue reading Device Removal
OOO: Possible fix for the command timed out error on Leopard
UPDATE:Thanks to Eric Bachard, a fix very similar to this will be appearing in OpenOffice.org 2.4.2 due to be released at the end of October 2008. — With a change in the way that X11 works on Leopard, the X11 version of OpenOffice.org has been giving an error message on startup saying “command timed out”.… Continue reading OOO: Possible fix for the command timed out error on Leopard
