Public SVN Access

By barneyb on July 11, 2007

To this point I've kept all my personal projects in a private SVN repository, but Joe wanted access to the source of my bicycle dashboard, so I opened it up to anonymous read access at https://ssl.barneyb.com/svn/barneyb/bicycle_dashboard/.  I'll probably end up opening a few other projects as well (like my award winning schema tool, which has [...]

Golf

By barneyb on July 10, 2007

I went golfing this morning with Joshua (a blogless coworker) at the Lake Oswego City Course.  It's an 18-hole par-3 course, and pretty nice.  Holes were from 75 to 180 yards, averaging around 150, and I played pretty well.  Handful of pars, a couple double bogies, and the rest bogies.  I figure if I play [...]

More Bicycle Dashboard Updates

By barneyb on July 7, 2007

I just pushed some new updates to the bicycle dashboard, including multiuser support and the ability to store a map URL for routes.  Currently the multiuser support is limited to just having an account, and if it's public, for other people to view your ride information.  I'm planning to add groups of some sort to [...]

Draggable Routes in Google Maps

By barneyb on July 6, 2007

The guys a Google have come through again.  Google Maps now lets you drag driving directions around to add custom waypoints on the route, without having to manually enter their address or lat/long.  Aside from being really neat to play with, it lets you easily map a custom route (say, for my morning commute) without [...]

Bicycle Dashboard Update

By barneyb on July 3, 2007

I made some mods to my bicycle reporting dashboard last night and just pushed them live.  Highlights include being able to break down the charts by bike, route, or day of week, legends to support showing multiple series, control over the chart baseline (zero or autodetect), and formatting of the "elapsed time" axis labels.
Now that [...]

Fun with Flash on Linux

By barneyb on July 2, 2007

So I got home this evening and wanted to record my commute with my new logger app, and guess what, it crashes Firefox. Roughly one-in-four loads of the app are successful, other attempts cause a segfault as the player tries to load the SWF. It seems to work better in SeaMonkey, but still [...]

Bicycle Goodies (i.e. Info Porn)

By barneyb on July 2, 2007

While on my seemingly endless airplane rides, I finished up a first draft of my bicycle reporting app, and made it available at the seemingly random address of http://www.barneyb.com/bicycle/.  ; )  Yes, it's Flex, and yes, I chose that platform of my own volition.  It's still a little rough around the edges, but it's all [...]

I Went Wii!

By barneyb on July 2, 2007

Much to Heather's delight, I returned home from CFUNITED this weekend with a Wii for her to play with.  And much to my delight, I cracked open Zelda:Twilight Princess again for the first time in a few months.  Can't play the GameCube version with the Wii controller (have to use the GameCube controller), but other [...]

Joe Says "Codpiece"

By barneyb on June 28, 2007

Joe Rinehart says that the codpiece is coming back. A huge proponent of genital decoration/protection, he managed to create a custom codpiece from his CFUNITED nametag. Truly an ingenious man. Next year we expect to see him sporting an authentic period 'piece.

Calling all Gaget (Specifically GPS) Geeks

By barneyb on June 25, 2007

I'm trying to find a GPS unit for myself, and am struggling. I figured since my blog has a fairly technical audience of varied backgrounds, there's probably a bunch of people out there reading who might offer some insight. Here are the specifics of what I'm looking for, in decreasing order of [...]
