I've used Navit for phone routing, but it has no way to submit corrections. And the official osm app doesn't do offline routing.

Don't do this many times in a row, though, because the pattern on your resume says much more than length of time.

That was a really fun article to read. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Journal Journal: History 3

Journal by Allen Zadr on Tuesday June 05, 2012 @09:21PM

Just went through all my old Journal Entries, which I haven't done since moving most of my stuff into Multiply.com.

Looking at replacing the laptop I bought way back when... https://slashdot.org/journal/141816/new-laptop-and-laptops

I started here on April 1, 2004. I moved to Multiply on Feb 17, 2007. Figured After all this time, I might as well check in back here.

What's up?

I also moved to Multiply when it stopped letting me comment in journals ( "Slow down, cowboy" ). Most of the circle is still doing fine over there.

It worked so well with the Metric system conversion.

I am, and always have been, a supporter of butts. That's not to say that I ignore boobs or legs. Boobs, for example, are far less awkward to pay close attention to in intimate situations. There's no comfortable way, for example, to kiss a butt while staring into her eyes. Yet, I am an assman.

Comment Apple's Leopard and old Macs (Score 1) 371

Let's wait for release of Leopard before judging it. There are many talks about "useless" underhood changes, but that is what driving all third-party applications and that's what we use everyday. If you don't like that, you can always turn back to stuff like old good terminal applications and write emails, browse web through text based, "uncluttered interface" :-)
And, after all, topic is 800MHz G4's and Leopard ;-) I hope my PB G4 will run it or I will need to upgrade to Intel-based portable Mac.

Journal Journal: Road Runner is now Comcrapstick

Journal by Allen Zadr on Sunday November 12, 2006 @08:08PM

I have had a cable Modem in suburban MN since 1999. Time Warner cable had only been offering cable-modem service for three weeks, and they hadn't started the TV ads for it yet. My family Email addresses were Firstname@, Firstname@, Firstname@, FirstnameX@, FirstnameMiddlename@ ... no numbers, dashes, unmemorable components. Basically, the benefits of an early adopter.

Journal Journal: GoogTube and Chad Vader

Journal by Allen Zadr on Sunday October 15, 2006 @07:58PM

Have you seen "Chad Vader, Day Shift Manager" yet?

It's really fresh, and quite hillarious. My kind of humor. There are four episodes of five minutes each.

Seach "Chad Vader" on youtube, or get info from the creator's official web-page

Journal Journal: [Local] Music Night

Journal by Allen Zadr on Saturday October 14, 2006 @08:42PM

I finally broke down and joined myspace. Mostly because I was looking for info about these bands.

Friday Night. Music. Live Music. I wasn't playing the music, I was listening. My wife and I. Went to see Action vs. Action, but was surprised by the first act. Carra Barratt, I shook her hand, and bought her CD, I said something Corny, and regretted it immediately.

Journal Journal: Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare

Journal by Allen Zadr on Sunday August 20, 2006 @06:29PM

The height of Alice Cooper's career, and one of my favorite albums. Why do I mention it? I was reminded of the album from the title of another Journal entry, which - actually - recounted Beatles lyrics. Anyway, this is from the very odd, sad song, Steven.

I don't want to feel you die But if that's the way that God has planned you I'll put pennies on your eyes And it will go away See?

O.K. I haven't had a real PC upgrade in nearly four years. I cannot find affordable RAMBUS to upgrade the RAM [[the CPU is a 2GHz P4 (not "bad", even now), and it's had a Video Card upgrade, but it's stuck at 512MB of RAM]].

Bah, don't like the title. Perhaps I'll try again.

Bought something, which became a purchase four somethings, one for me, one for each of three kids.

Yeah, I'll try again on that title.
