OK, long time no diarise. It's complicated and no-one cares.

Naming excursions are reasonably mundane, so I think I'm just gonna title them after interesting street names I come across. Herring Street this was. Also worthy were Fairy Street and Chaucer and Keats Streets. Chaucer and Keats might have got the guernsey, but they're the only poets (where I know it), so not much of a meme in the council's street names division. A mini-meme, if you will.

Stepping back and explaining, I did some unnamed parts of Moorooka today in the blazing heat. Don't think I'll be doing it in the hot of day again. In one of my favourite books, Bliss by Peter Carey, a character called Honey Barbara got hold of a cancer map. She said you had to know someone very high up in an insurance company to get a cancer map. I wondered today if I might be making my own skin cancer map out there. Madness.

Part of my diary inertia has been because I think it's better, for readers, to talk about things you can point to on the slippy map. (This is only updated weekly around Wednesdays.) I have a few interesting excursions I've let slip for the sake of the slippy map. I think I might actually get around to diarising them retrospectively if that's not too confusing. Heck, I even made a lolcat I nearly forgot about.

And does anyone know the recommended way to tag a "local traffic only" residential street? Could you tell me and update the wiki?

I'm obviously sun-affected. Writing this has inspired me to tag the Moorooka Magic Mile. I used "alt_name". It is, according to Merkaartor, 1.6km or so, so it's well named and the used car dealers have something truthful to say to their clients.
