Well it's done!

I have finally completed my part of the public transphere project. It turned out incredible and I think that it is commercially viable. I mean I know other companies put out similar technology but jesse and I are able to do it cheaper. The site actually maps in real-time now thanks to Mickelson's Law.



Tomorrow I have to finish my poetry project and begin finishing the clothing project. Then its time to work on the site and the thesis.

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.

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.

Well, if you want to save out your own maps, even gigantic ones, simply visit my page until they take me away in handcuffs.

Ghana Government Page for Japan

I am sold. I am so going to stop doing so much work and hire a ghanese customer service team. According to this web site of the Ghana Embassy to Japan , I can pay a laborer only $1.50 /day. (e:mike) and (e:terry) keep telling me that it's too high a price to pay and what I really need is a non-stable country. That way we could knock another $1.15 off that steep amount.
