Busy busy + mapping unexplored jungle + chile maps etc + Pub meet-up tomorrow night
Posted by Harry Wood on 8 March 2010 in English.I've been very busy spreading myself too thinly again lately. Busy with some work at placr. Busy with lots of other bits 'n' bobs such as wherecamp.eu preparations, wiki Wednesdays presentations, and dealing with s**t (literally)
Things I haven't had much time to think about include scheduling a hack weekend, seeing what mapping can/can't be done in Chile and sorting out the wiki pages accordingly, and other minor little things like doing freelancing work I might one day get paid for.
At the weekend I tricked myself into thinking this was all under control and I could relax a little. What did I do to relax? I went out mapping!
In the sunshine we went and added this wobbly path through Queens wood. That's about as green and wild as mapping gets round here. Plenty more woodland paths to add if anyone else wants to venture into this unexplored jungle.
We had a play with Mapzen POI collector. I have to say it's not too bad (and I'm no longer paid to say this). A bit clunky and unresponsive when you're used to a proper editor, but the neat thing is, it's easy enough for someone like my girlfriend to casually add some stuff to the map.
I also set up a script to generate (and update) a printable a hi-res image of Chile last weekend.
With all this going on, I'd almost forgotten about the pub meet-up tomorrow night in Tower Bridge. It's been a while since we've been south of the river, but don't worry it's still walking distance from a Tower Hill station on the north bank. Sign up on upcoming.org there, or just show up tomorrow night at 7ish!
