Last weekend I was visiting a friend in Northampton. I did manage to do a little bit of mapping in-between pub crawls and other such shenanigans. Northampton is one of the lesser mapped cities, so even though I didn't gather much data, it was still quite satisfying to enter it in last night. Helping to fit a few more pieces into that jigsaw. I actually did a lot more mapping while out on a walk in the Northamptonshire countryside near Great Brington & Little Brington. Charming little villages, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find that absolutely nothing has changed in the area since the NPE maps were drawn.

The process of keying in data for shops (crappy little shops) from millions of photos along Cricklewood Broadway was more tedious, but actually the rendered results are quite satisfying.

In other news, the audio from my talk to the BCS is now available, although it seems to cut off before the end. I tried to use this to make a "slidecast" on slideshare.net, so you could try getting that to play back, but it's not working on my browser :-(

We're having a London Hack Weekend this weekend. Search, Monitoring and rollback, API improvements, Advanced multipolygons, Turn restrictions, non-mainstream editors, rewrite Potlatch in AS3, GPX API, i18n_2, OAuth Come along if you know how to hack on any of that. If not, well rest assured it'll all be working by the end of the weekend :-)
