Vorbeam acum ceva timp de un proiect la care lucram impreuna cu Mihai si Martin. Acum pot dezvalui despre ce e vorba. :)

Enter trn.ro, vanzari de terenuri "web 2.0".

Voi vorbi mai pe larg despre el in curand. De retinut ca este in "beta" (era evident, nu? :)) si ca unele lucruri fie nu merg, fie nu merg cum trebuie.

Astept sugestii, opinii si ce va mai trece prin cap.

Am facut upgrade de ram la laptop, ajungand la 1256 MB. Si bine am facut.
Acum doua zile, dupa vreo 5 ore de lucru cu Google Maps si Microsoft Local Live, primesc mesaj ca nu mai am spatiu pe disc desi nu descarcasem nimic si cand ajunsesem la serviciu aveam cam 1 giga liber. In tot timpul asta tinusem deschis Firefox, pentru ca in el testam.

Ei bine, Firefox ocupa 1.5 GB de ram. 320 reali si 1230 virtuali. Asa ca faceti bine si bagati-va vreo 3 giga de ram in sistem daca aveti de gand sa folositi Firefox la pagini mai complexe. :/

Here's what I've been programming the last two days, with some help from Grivitei Pythonista and with Martin's ideas.

Take a Symbian phone and a bluetooth GPS receiver. Write a Python mobile program to take pictures and also, for each picture, the latitdude, longitude and other stuff, like cell id or some description.

Now, import that into Drupal using (preferabilly) some automated method (I chose to write a script which uses curl to simulate a user logging in the Drupal website and uploading all files in a directory). Activate the google maps module. A little setting here, a little setting there and voila, the mashup is done.

Curios? Here's a very early beta with some pictures taken around Domenii, Universitate and Brancoveanu: http://playground.417.ro/4.7. You'll have to click on a baloon and zoom to see all pictures as at the default zoom level pictures are behind each other due to the fact they were taken around the same place.

There are some bugs, such as the fact that Ion Mincu appears around Domenii due to some weirdness in the gps reading code. Don't mind those, it's a beta! :)

For info, I'm using a Nokia 6630 and a Hollux GPS Receiver.

Later update: Martin is in an upload frenzy. Check out his geotagged pictures here: http://www.notez.ro/map/node.
