This is an announcement of the re-release of Think New Orleans, you can follow along at the beta site Think New Orleans (Beta), which will stay a step ahead at all times. (More later, in a posting to be entitled, Forever Beta.)
It’s maybe a bit too early to announce, but there’s traffic here for corporate […]
This is live blogging of boring things. Suffer with me as I spend my Saturday night working on something that I’ve longed to have finished for some time. A waste of bits and bandwidth, and dear reader, a waste of your precious time, but I must, must get this completed.
Let this be a record of […]
I’ll be blogging more now that I’m getting out of administration, and back into development. There has been little to discuss since much of what I’ve been doing has been quite rote. It reads rote.
Life Ann Arbor has become unusually livable lately. Perhaps, this is because I’m on my way out of Ann Arbor, or […]
The model for Think New Orleans. Three concepts.
A person, like you or me.
A circle, of people, based around, a school, a church, a neighborhood, a cafe, bar, or restaraunt.
A feed, of information.
These are the building blocks of the software. If it doesn’t fit within this model, it doesn’t fit within Think New Orleans.
I was going to make an article of this, but it went to quick.
The documetation covers everything. The Google Maps API is simple. It fits quite nicely in a JavaScript environment. Working with Prototype makes this even easier.
Watch the Mid-City article map.
Fridges of Katrina, art+appliances.
I’ve always had an Ant target called “copacetic” that I’d fire off before a check in. It would run compile and test my work. This has become the working name of my continuous integration system, which I’ll tell you a bit about.
I’ve got a standard project structure now, inspired by the abilities of Ivy, that […]
Geocoding is installed. Now to create a REST interface I can use from XML.
My most recent survey of Perl XML land revealed XML::Dumper, which is an awful lot like Data::Dumper, but it dumps XML instead of Perl source code. Easy.
I don’t care about the semantics of the document. It doesn’t get my panties in a […]
I didn’t take notes on installing Geo::Coder::US, but it was straightward. I fired up CPAN, and typed install Geo::Coder::US and away it went. Then when it was done I fetched the TigerLINE files for Louisiana and the FIPS 55 data, the “all” zip archive, rather than Louisiana specific. You’ll note that the TigerLINE page is […]
Think New Orleans is down for the next few hours. My mod_proxy configuration for Think New Orleans included the directive that turned the server into an open proxy. It was discovered two days ago, and my server has been a conduit for 70 GB of trash since then.
The proxy is closed, but I don’t want […]
