Using GeoKit? Tell us about it

Mar 13 by Andre in GeoKit » , Ruby on Rails »

If you are using GeoKit, drop me an email. I am going to put up a "Who's using GeoKit?" page at geokit.rubyforge.org, and I'd love to hear:

  • how you're using GeoKit
  • what site or service you're using it on, with a link that I can put up on Rubyforge
  • how GeoKit made your life (or at least your project!) easier

Send me an email at andre {at} earthcode {dot} com. Thanks!

Montreal and Chicago step up!

Mar 04 by Andre in Entrepreneurial » , Wifi Cafes »

Montreal, Canada has boldly stepped into the #1 city on hotspotr with 107 cafes/hotspots listed! Chicago is trailing in 2nd place with 105 cafes, and San Francisco (hotspotr's hometown, if you will), is in 3rd place. Props to Montreal, who came out of nowhere on this -- their first listing was posted just six days ago.

Chicago was the first to overcome San Francisco, and they've traded the top spot with with Montreal a couple times over the weekend. Who will come out on top?

Local Q&A coming soon

Mar 04 by Andre in Entrepreneurial » , Ruby on Rails »

TwoBlocksDown is a local Q&A service, and is a collaboration between me and Derek Haynes. Although we still have a lot of work to do, I'm very excited about this service! Of course we're doing it in Ruby on Rails, and it will have a Google maps component. Stay tuned for more details, or drop us your email to be the first with the 411!
