Sheila found the Flickr Geocode Bookmarklet. You can use this with the Geo Import function on Flickr in order to map your photos using Google Maps (useful, because the Yahoo! Maps data for the UK really sucks). Sheila also taught me how to use XSLT. It's so unbelievably cool! 2006-09-02T21:30:53Z

Exchristian.net have Google Video of Jonathan Miller's Atheism programmes. Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. 2006-09-02T19:34:45Z

I've posted up videos from two of the talks at BarCamp. Thank Yahoo for their superb bandwidth. 2006-09-02T16:19:39Z

The Jameah Islamiah school, just a few miles from my house, has been raided in an anti-terror operation. 2006-09-02T15:51:40Z

It's great to hear from somone who has been working on data scraping. The guys at MetaWeather have been using the WAP site from BBC Weather to get data out - because the BBC WAP site is easy to figure out. I'm probably going to build something with it, mashing it up with Craigslist. 2006-09-02T13:21:35Z

I've put up a page for BarCamp London over on Opiumfield. It's just a tag tracker, but whenever I see resources, I'll add them to the outline and upload them. 2006-09-02T10:39:28Z

After a frantic scramble out of the house, we are now here! 2006-09-02T09:35:37Z

RSSRiver: A five minute PHP project 2006-09-02T11:27:47Z

I've reimplemented Dave's RSS rendering for mobile devices by writing about the simplest RSS renderer possible. It's at:

http://tools.opiumfield.com/rssriver/

Just load that URL with a feed URL on the end, like this.

And you've got yourself a mobile-friendly, one shot river showing the latest stories. I wrote it simply because I want a way of showing an RSS feed that I read better on my Palm.

Next, I want to write a PHP OPML renderer. If anyone can point me to any good caching libraries for data that PHP is pulling in, I'd love to know about it.

Tom Morris tom@tommorris.org

Currently in: Kent, England

Usually in: East Sussex, England

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
