Download openstreetmap 0.1 ?	over 15 years ago	What do you mean by a "windows download"? I got a gzipped tar file. In it was a Python program, two HTML files, a JavaScript file, and a few other files. The Python script didn't run because I don't have the 'screenlets' packages installed, and the HTML used OpenLayers but only displayed "More OSM coming soon..." tiles.

There's too much spam in the OSM Diaries	almost 16 years ago	It seems to have all been removed now. Clearly something needs to be done about spam now.

OSM getting blasted, time to blast back	almost 16 years ago	Were the comments always closed on that post? I wonder what sort of responses this idiot got. It's just a scare piece from a Washington lobbying group. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Alliance
Increase the speed of rendering for Haiti	almost 16 years ago	But I've never viewed that part of the OSM map before I followed your link. So I can't have had those tiles in my browser cache. The OSM server gave me old tiles, then gave me new tiles when I shift-reloaded them. Was this because it took the server longer than 3 seconds to render each new tile, as amm described?
Increase the speed of rendering for Haiti	almost 16 years ago	I checked that first link. Indeed "Enes" was on its own. Then I switched through the different renders and it showed up as a building (except Cycle Map is blank for some reason). I switched back to Mapnik and it then appeared as a building. The funny thing is that I closed the tab, reopened it, and had exactly the same experience. I've since opened the individual tiles in my browser: http://c.tile.openstreetmap.org/18/137385/93440.png http://c.tile.openstreetmap.org/18/137384/93440.png They initially showed no building. I did a shift-reload on each and it appeared. They then seemed to be 'permanently' updated in the slippy map. Something funny's going on with the caching of the tiles. Note, I'm using Firefox/Iceweasel 3.5.6, behind a Squid 3.0 proxy.
DCDB skew	about 16 years ago	The discrepancies are interesting. Perhaps the positions are made in relation to the Australian Geodetic Datum (AGD66). Australia is moving north-ish at something like 5-7 cm a year, but it would take well over 100 years to move 8-10 m. So I'm not sure what could be causing it. Maybe it's just laziness or sloppiness.
