    The Living Map of Manchester powered by Arduino and HERE.

    23 January, 2014

    I attended an Internet of Things with Arduino @MadLabUK course last year and thought it would be cool to use an Arduino (in this case a Mega) to display some of the data that is accessible through the HERE maps APIs a.k.a the HERE platform (used to be known as the Nokia Location Platform prior…

    GPSjake – old code I dusted down, jazzed up, tucked in and finally put to bed.

    30 May, 2013

    Introducing GPSjake One of the reasons behind me starting this blog was that it would give me a resting ground for a little app I worked on quite a while ago (and for quite a while) but did nothing with.  A place where I could document it a little, post the source code for prosperity…

    Cycling Indicator MkII – for the entertainment of a 4 yr old (of course)…

    8 April, 2013

    I bought an arduino kit from oomlout which contained a motor, servo and other bits and bobs. Using the kit I upgraded the cycling indicator (see previous post) so that, as well as a light being turned on when the account being monitored sends a ‘Mike is cycling’ tweet, a motor is activated. The motor…

    Building the Internet of Things @madlabuk

    1 March, 2013

    Not posted for a while. There’s a few reasons for this. 1. DIY. 2. The Wire. 3. I’m working on a project that’s been in the pipeline for a long time. Anyway, back in June last year I attended an introductory Arduino course run by Omniversity at Madlab, Manchester. It was great fun and I…

  • Nokia Maps / TfL Traffic Camera Mashup

    Nokia Maps / TfL Traffic Camera Mashup

    8 October, 2012

    Thought it was about time I stepped on the mashup bandwagon, a good number of years after the bandwagon had set out on it’s journey. I’d be wanting to play with a mapping JavaScript API for some time and had seen some examples of people using the Google maps API with live traffic CCTV images…

    Voting with Twitter…

    12 August, 2012

    A friend of mine, who lectures at a university, was wondering about getting his students to submit a vote on the outcome of a debate in the days following the lecture.  He was wondering about using Twitter for this – in the end he ditched the idea as not all of the class twitterererered. Anyway…

    Arduino @ MadLab, Manchester

    24 June, 2012

    Had great fun a couple of weekends ago at the Arduino Introduction to Physical Computing course run by the Omniversity at Madlab, Manchester. I’m interested in putting together a prototype for a second screen which shows information from your mobile phone (communicated via bluetooth) for use when on the push bike.  Kind of like Sony…

    Windows Ate (8) Virtual Box

    4 March, 2012

    Yeah – think i might be losing it with the post titles. I decided I wanted to take a look at the consumer preview of Windows 8 using some virtualisation software.  I had some previous experience of VirtualBox – all good – I used it to run an Ubuntu installation on my PC (Dell Latitude…

    My QRosity gets the better off me.

    6 February, 2012

    Quite proud of the title of this post. At a Mobile Monday Manchester meeting back in September last year (2011) QR codes were discussed.  Different designs of QR codes were shown.  This was interesting because I wasn’t aware that these codes could be styled to some extent using colour and even by playing with the…

    21 January, 2012

    So it’s been a while since I put anything up on the ol’ internet. Way back when I worked on a couple of classic asp sites and I also used to manage content on the website for a band I played in – basically maintaining HTML pages – but nothing since. After speaking to some…
