Google Maps API

Ooh there's a proper Google Maps API now, they've made things like this legit! The old way still works, and the new way means a full recoding, but it will make sure the map app is stable... so it's great for my interactive map of folkestone, but less...

James Dean Bradfield

08/10/02: James was doing an acoustic session on Zoe Ball's show - there was a competition for five fans to get into the studio too. I didn't win, so some friends and I waited outside the studios for a while instead... James turned up around 4:20pm,...

Google Maps API + Thickbox

Had some trouble for a while at work with getting our google maps working with this thickbox, and I put it off for ages (telling people not to put a map in a lightbox), but today I got to the bottom of it. Don't load your map until the lightbox has l...

Flickr interactive adventure game

I haven't made one, but I was just attaching some notes to this picture (think you have to be logged into Flickr to see them, and using the notes to contextually link to other pictures, and it made me think, couldn't someone write some kind of advent...

Photo notes

This aquariam post is using the Flickr style notes, but using PhotoNotes, still seems there's no way of getting your existing notes out of Flickr.Changing the way I use my images on here, to make sure I'm not breaching Flickr's terms of service, migh...

RE: Google Maps API + Thickbox

Hi,Could you show me exactly how to set the time out with this function ?function load() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map")); map.setCenter(new GLatLng(40.967715,-76.887817), 7); ...

RE: Google Maps API + Thickbox

1.5 gigapixel picture of President Obama's inaugural address

Yes that's a 1474 megapixel picture. Needs a new version of flash, mighty impressive though, zoom in and see everything that's going on. If he had been assassinated, we'd know from this exactly who did it!...

Tweeting this post / gig / venue

Done some work on my "reply to this on twitter" functionality of the site, and have set it up for real authentication when I get the time. So now the "Twitter" link below this post should take you to clarkeology.com/tweet/m13020 why grabs the short u...

bit.ly unshorten api call doesn't work :-(

Here's their example oh yeah works fine in JSON but what if I want xml? That's not valid xml, so my xml parser isn't picking it up. Can't have a node starting with a number like that. Why put the value in as one of the node names like that anyway? Wo...

Facebooker::AdapterBase::UnableToLoadAdapter (Facebooker::AdapterBase::UnableToLoadAdapter)

Yeah I'm getting this error and yeah this is probably the answer... I had to force load authlogic_facebook_connect.git and facebooker.git before it would even generate my .yml file though. Still finding Rails not working as smoothly as it should do f...

TFL dumping their API's

Not actually using any of these at the moment but an interesting read if you are doing the kind of things I am doing right now. Not of interest if you are not a programmer and / or not using any of Transport For London's services... Cheers to @darryl...

An embarrassing and humiliating defeat at the Britania quiz last night

Was a tougher quiz than previously, hence our fairly poor score of 74.5% However the embarrassing bit was one of our team deciding we'd been harshly marked and deserved an extra point, conferred with the team who we thought had marked our paper, agre...

IMDB API

I like this (Pointless example) API for the Internet Movie Database... now how to use it? I can get info on films and TV from there and also Rotten Tomatoes.I remember when the Internet Movie Database used to be called the Cardiff Movie Database....

Graph fun

Have just written some code to make a graph for work. Actually written the code that writes some code, as I'm using Google's interactive chart API to make some graphs of my data, so have written some code that then outputs this script, that Google th...

The final countdown

Not sure why my weekly chart that I'm getting from the http://last.fm api is not the same as the chart showing on my last.fm page right now (Smiths, Pixies, Cure, Suede, Beatles, Joy Division, Beach Boys, Eagles, Pulp, Blur) - must be because that ch...

I've done more Media Monkey programming this weekend

I lost a lot of my music data recently, not the music itself but all my play counts and some other meta data. So I've written a script for Media Monkey that checks what my playcount is on last.fm whenever I play a track, and if it's more there then i...
