Short, uncensored, unfiltered nothings that need some space.
I have two bits of news to share. The first of which is that I have redesigned my ‘home page’. The second, which the observant will already know if they followed the previous link, is that this blog is to be shut down. From now on frequent posting can be found over at my new home, I have already put the kettle on and am all ready for you to join. This blog will remain here as a historic archive of my posting for the past years.
When getting my iPhone one of the first things that I realised that I would need is a better weather app. Not that the default one is bad, it just doesn’t give me the detail I need to plan if I will need an umbrella or not. At first I found and used this app by Mr Daniel Toll. That suited my needs to start with but it soon seemed limited as it isn’t very detailed on the area I want to see.
Seeing that Mr Toll’s app just used the BBC’s weather maps I thought it wouldn’t be very hard for me to create my own webapp that used just the area of the UK that I wanted. An hour later and I already had my own fully functional webapp that showed London and the surrounding area. Since then I have spent a little time making the app also work for other regions and tiding it up.
If you want to use the app there are two ways in which you can do that. You can either use the version that I am hosting, which I also use so will stay up-to date with the latest bug fixes. Or you can grab your own copy and host it on your own servers.
On 21st July I will be jumping on my bike and riding the London to Brighton (and back) Bike Ride in aid of British Heart Foundation. The official route is 54 miles however, as I am also going to be riding back again I will cover over 100 miles in the day.
If you would like to sponsor me for this challenge then please go to: justgiving.com/edds. British Heart Foundation is a great cause and help thousands of people every year who suffer from heart problems.
I will hopefully start updating here with how my training is going leading up to the ride.
Time is a wonderful thing until you run out of it. Unfortunately for this site, it's at the bottom of the time receiving pile. That is a balance that needs to be restored. Until then you can still read me on twitter and watch what I am looking at on flickr if your not already.
Ahh its gone black. Sorry, the white looked worse and worse every time I looked at it. Now featuring chimp.
