Fix My Pipe!
September 13, 2006

After two days of, frustratingly, not being able to post and being on the verge of leaving Blogger I changed my ftp settings to sftp... And, bingo! No more Broken Pipe 001 errors... for the time being! So, with not much to say, here's another post! Just because I can...

Thought I'd give Aardcard a mention as I was invited to join the Flickr Group this week and I like the idea... as well as supporting Kids With Cameras.

Although it's an American site I like the idea of Map Junction. It's an open source project that helps you understand the past, present and future of places . A "Google Map" for the Psychogeographer... A combination of a number of different technologies ranging from graphical editing programs to geographic information systems [GIS], making it easy to find all the relevant information you need on a place of interest. I'd like to see something like this for London. Maybe Iain Sinclair would be interested in doing something similar for his London Orbital book? Or maybe even Iain Banks? A Scottish map, to accompany his guide to Malt Whiskeys, Raw Spirit. I'm reading this at the moment... Mr Banks sounds like a bloody good bloke to pop down the pub with I must say!

On the subject of maps, Mod My Profile have a visitor map for your MySpace page along with lots of other, less than useful adornments. I'm a bit wary of add-ons for MySpace pages as they can take aeons to load, but visits are so anonymous that I would try this... as well as the tracker they also provide.

According to the New Scientist "Neanderthals were thought to have died out as modern humans arrived in Europe. Now, artifacts found in a cave in Gibraltar reveal that the two groups coexisted for millenia before Neanderthals finally dwindled out of existence" They still live side by side round here!

Blimey, there's a storm of apocalyptic proportions going on outside... Tell us there's a hosepipe ban now!
