@Phooto I’m trying a radiator. Don’t have an airing cupboard! Looks like there’s water in the lens, though, so I’m not that hopeful.

Just finished morning jog. Well done Caffe Nero on opening at 8am and wishing me a happy Valentine’s Day when I walked in!

Early morning coding seems to be coming along nicely. http://randombristol.got…

Bugger. Just managed to wash my digital camera.

via Twitter Web Client

@TheLloydClan Indeed. Oh well, will stick it on the radiator for a day or two and see what happens.

via Twitter Web Client

@pjakobs Yes, but no tumble dry. And luckily no spin, because the clonking sound alerted me early in the wash cycle!

@mikelorant Get Running is based on Josh Clark’s original Couch-to-5K program, here: http://bit.ly/sCckt . Can’t speak for the C25K app.

@mikelorant Although for my last run, I measured it and did exactly 5K, just so I could definitely say I’d done it!

@pjakobs Yeah, just the compact. Think I’d probably have noticed the 400D in my pocket :) The Lumix FP8 is a different matter, though!

@dady_griffin It would be, if I hadn’t bought it a couple of months ago, just after this model came out!

Anyway. Worst-case scenario, I’m down £100. I have accidental damage cover on my home insurance, with a £100 excess. This will not kill me.

@pjakobs I’m not going to try it until it’s sat on the radiator for at least 24 hours. I was still dripping last time I checked :)

@pjakobs Typical, really: I was very, very close to buying the water/shockproof model when I made my purchase!

via Twitter Web Client in reply to pjakobs

@benjohnbarnes That seems the general approach, yeah. But brute-force and cacheing is fine with a big, gradually-growing dataset.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to benjohnbarnes

Got the tile caching working. Now that is a not insignificant amount of geographical data: http://randombristol.got…

@lilibaloo I knew running before breakfast was a foolish idea. Didn’t realise it would affect my brain that much, though :)

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lilibaloo

Bwa-ha-ha! Full of clustery goodness: http://randombristol.got…

@Lillput I knew I wouldn’t have time to do the heatmapping I wanted to do, so I plugged in a clustering library. Works quite nicely.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to Lillput

@rbrwr @Swishrelic Yup, definitely coming along.

via Twitter Web Client

Anyway. That’ll have to do for now, even though it’s only 3,000 of the photos. Will need a lot more work for the full 15,000!

via Twitter Web Client

@benjohnbarnes Nope, it’s a library. Wanted to do something temporary until I can get server-side heatmaps up and running.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes The clustering is being done client-side, which is okay for 3,000 photos, not so hot for the 15,000 I’ve got :)

via Twitter Web Client in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes So, plan is to carry on with the server-side tile-drawing and make it prettier; should be a lot more fast/efficient.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes Link should be on the page. I’m going to be heatmapping server-side.
