If technology doesn't seem like magic, it's probably obsolete

I'm finding less time to update my blog these days, but my flickr photostream is often updated.

Playing in my house right now...

At 00:00 GMT on Thursday I was listening to:

Garmin 201 GPS Mapping
Wednesday May 10 2006 at 22:48 GMT

Turning where I run with my Garmin 201 watch into maps has taken a few turns since I bought it in 2004. First there was GPSVisualizer, then I moved to using a Google Maps implementation. The downside to both of the approaches above is that they've required a bit of manual work to create the XML files out of the single file the Garmin Logbook application pumps out.

Earlier this week, Jeff Kalikstein showed me the next generation, which takes that single input file and creates this. Very smart indeed!

Jeff is looking for some beta testers, so if you have a Garmin 201/205/301/305 then get directly in touch with Jeff.

How long until I'm able to post directly from my watch to my site, do you think? I simply put this here so that I can reference back to it in just over a year (my guess). Ahh, the Internet is wonderful.

Is this column now biweekly?

it would seem it is every fortnight - we should ask for our money back :)

Hopefully, there should be an update tomorrow then. I wonder what the topic will be, maybe a diatribe on Microsoft Vista, an attack on BT's super adsl fiasco or yet more maps of his stalking activities. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep.

Perhaps he has found more interesting things to do.

Maybe he was at the www future forum thing this week? I can't wait for news

What's going on, Martin?! You can't give me stick for not updating my site (and once again, that was purely due to incredibly slow internet connections and duff computers!) if you're leaving it over 2 weeks between updates!! I'm appalled! :-P

This must be the longest gap between posts. When do we start to worry? Will I now have to get a life?
