Public Transphere

Take 600 - Despite all the drama with the address and latitude/longitude mixups I have managed to get something up and working. Both the streaming server and the map that can get readings from the database. Right now it just loads up random stop values, but it works!!!! Should be done tomorrow. That gives me one day to work on my own project.

You can check out the beta version here . I may do some redesigning too. I just depends how long I have to work on it.

The world is flat

Jesse and are ar spending the entire evening driving around the city collecting GPS data. It is fucking annoying. I hate GPS. It never seems to be accurate. I did ,however, learn a forumla for converting old formal geographic data to new decinimal format.

degree + (60 * minutes) + (3600 * seconds) = decimal value for location
Use it wisely and you will live long and propsper. thank god for my extreme math skils and thanks to (e:shawnr) for getting us the formula.

Google Map Hack

I was trying to figure out a way to easily save out my google maps without screen shots and was using the firefox page info to try and figure out the tile names but then I decided someone must have already figured this out. I decided to search google for google map hack (GOOGLE - google map hack) and guess what came up on the first page. A link to our very own (e:ajay) and his site about the formula used to get the tile names. Thanks for the formula (e:ajay) .

I decided to adapt his formula to a PHP tool that runs off of gd in a similar way to the way he was using imagemagick with perl. I created a class called google_maps that takes some information and returns a map.

I added a little user interface and it seems to work pretty good. I will be adding a way to add waypoints and info in the near future.

The number of tiles is how big the map is. The latitude and longitude you specificy is represented by the second tile to the left from the top. I will add a you picked here spot or something when I get a chance. First I have to go finish working on (e:rzoo) 's project. It is making me mad because I don't have all the data I want and really don't feel like collecting it as I am supposed to be doing my clothing project right now instead.

[size=m]The link[/size]
Well, if you want to save out your own maps, even gigantic ones, simply visit my page until they take me away in handcuffs.

Blogs live forever

[inlink]zipzock,7[/inlink] What that article said about blogs living forever in cyberspace is kind of true. I rememebr when (e:churchofjulie) deleted her entire writing only to find out google still had them cached for the public.

Speaking of which, soyeon and her infamous journal is also gone but if you type soyeon (GOOGLE - soyeon) into google it is the first thing that comes up. Unfortunately, sans text. I wonder how that feels for soyeon who hates me so much, to be defined through me and my project on google.

I should add something there about her.

Living on the edge

Something you don't notice living on elmwood is that our community rests on the edge of several really poor communities. You probably notice but you aren't really directly confronted by it.

Living on Linwood, it is much more apparent. Not ont the street itself, but because anytime I go anywhere I take main street.

There are not shades of grey here. Everyone appears either totally rich or super poor.

I took the subway today after a year vacation from it. It freaks me the hell out. Especially at night when there is no one around. I used to take it all the time to UB but then I saw it be sketchy a couple times and decided I would rather not be in it anymore.

On the way back from there I overheard some handicapped woman saying how she couldn't afford new wheels for her wheelchair cause they were $36 each. She was talking about it like it was $3600. Then I turned the corner onto mansion alley. It just seems really unfair. I always questioned why they don't kill us.
