Phone fixed
Thursday 26 August 2010, 23:52
I got my phone back on Tuesday after it had been away for a week getting its screen replaced. What a nightmare that was… once you've had a smartphone it's hard to cope without one! It came back downgraded to Android 1.5, so I spent ages on Tuesday evening getting it back to how I wanted it. One of the things I just sorted before it broke was the ability to stream music from my music server to the phone wherever I am. Something else I've just sorted is the ability to capture screenshots from the phone. Sounds very easy, but bearing in mind the phone isn't rooted, it's actually very hard. So here is a combination of those two things:

I'm not taking credit for the DAAP Player, someone else made that, and it's not perfect, but it does work. I'm really chuffed with the screenshots though as that was really difficult.

Android 2.1
Friday 06 August 2010, 19:33
After a wait that seemed as though it would be endless, the first part of the update from Android 1.5 to 2.1 appeared on my HTC Hero this afternoon. The second part followed almost immediately, and now at long last, I'm up and running with 2.1. I was quite impressed that it kept all my applications and settings. It generally looks crisper and more polished, and now I can use the full Google Sat Nav(which is brilliant, all the more so for being free), and loads of other apps that never worked with Android 1.5.

Kingsteignton Weather in the News
Friday 06 August 2010, 19:27
Kingsteignton Weather hit the headlines today, quite literally, as I appeared on the front page of the Mid Devon Advertiser, with a feature on page two. You can see the first part of the article here. I'm now going to be supplying monthly weather statistics to the paper. Pretty cool.

Maps Working Again
Monday 02 August 2010, 11:57
I fixed the maps that had stopped working due to the Ordnance Survey's upgrade. What's more, I did all the necessary code changes, and this update, using my phone.

Some Maps Not Working
Monday 02 August 2010, 09:04
The Ordnance Survey upgraded their API yesterday, and as a result some of the maps used on this site no longer work. I know what the issue is, and will hopefully fix it this evening.

More Iridium Flare stuff
Tuesday 20 July 2010, 20:38
I have been thinking about what I wrote a couple of weeks ago and decided to give it a go anyway. I've just put together a page with an OS map that lets you click to set a point. The resulting latitude, longitude and elevation data is then passed to a script that extracts the next 7 days' flares from Heavens Above and displays them in a table. See it here. No iCalendar functionality yet, as I'm still not sure whether or not that will over stepping the mark. No ISS passes yet either, but I'll add those in as and when.

Chip…
Sunday 18 July 2010, 21:47
Sad and unexpected news today, our eleven year old cat Chip was put to sleep at the vet's this evening. The poor little man had a blood disorder which caused him to go downhill rapidly. We just buried him in the back garden about half an hour ago. Explaining it to Lucy was probably the hardest part.

Calendar
Wednesday 07 July 2010, 10:37
The Iridium Flare and ISS calendar should be available here:
Calendar
I'll sort out a proper link on the left later.

Iridium Flare Calendar
Tuesday 06 July 2010, 22:56
This evening I adapted the Iridium Flare iCal generating php file to also incorporate ISS Passes, again with data scraped from the Heavens Above website. I've also created an embedded Google Calendar that shows both. I'm waiting for confirmation that it can be read by anyone, rather than just people logged into my Google account (i.e. me). Once I have that, I'll make it live.
In other news, I broke the recent dry spell of tor visiting today. My friend Dan and I set off from Postbridge and visited Winney's Down and Kit Rocks. Two pretty hard to reach tors, involving a 10 mile walk over difficult, but thankfully dry, terrain. I'll update the Tors page tomorrow.

Pointless Blog Post

Not much to add, but I'm up early waiting for the breakfast place to open, blogging from my tent.
