Search broken

The search script is failing every time on OGL. I can't get any clues as I don't have access to the server logs. Maybe the Plucene index needs to be rebuilt.

Wikimedia Commons Tube data
by Kake L Pugh 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

I posted on the london.pm mailing list last night about a script I'd used to suck the Tube station zones out of the Wikimedia Commons Tube data and add them to the Randomness Guide to London. I thought maybe OGL might be interested in this too, so I'm attaching the script to this email. The datafile is at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_geographic_maps/CSV Obviously the script will need a bit of tweaking, but if you want it, here it is. It should also be easy enough to modify it to add location and line data as well (that's in the datafile too, but I already had that data so didn't bother). I probably don't need to mention that it would be wise to run the script against a test guide before running it against the live instance. Let me know if anything in the script is overly confusing; I didn't really comment it much because it was a one-off. Kake

Borough market: wholesaler tasting session
by IvorW 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Just came across this on their website. http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk/index.php?module=whats_on:44 This could be quite fun, and useful for OpenGuides PR. I'm sure we can call ourselves "press" - it's worth a try. I'm posting this to the list in case there's anyone not gainfully employed who'd like to go, ideally one of our regular contributors. If you do get a response, please let the list know. Ivor.

Fwd: List change-over complete (I hope!)

Just got this from Paul via Mailman, although it didn't show up in the moderation queue on the site... anyway, here it is. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Paul Makepeace" <paulm(a)paulm.com> To: openguides-dev(a)lists.openguides.org, openguides-london(a)lists.openguides.org Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 20:29:41 +0100 Subject: List change-over complete (I hope!) Hi folks, OG's move from @openguides.org to @lists.openguides.org I think is basically complete at this point. Thanks to Dom for handling the NS and tolerating my abuse of CNAMEs.

A few notes: * The old archives at http://openguides.org/mail/yadda now perform a redirect to http://lists.openguides.org/mail/yadda One minor detail about this is that the list archive weblogs are on a different machine. If you need these logs please liaise with Earle and he & I can figure something out there. Hopefully you won't want these as all the lists on that machine pile into a single apache log at present.

List mail addresses will be changing slightly
by Earle Martin 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Hi all, Due to some things being rehomed from one machine to another, the list mail addresses will be changing shortly from <list-name>@openguides.org to <list-name>@lists.openguides.org. You won't need to subscribe, but may need to update your address books and/or mail filters. I'll send another mail through when the move is done (probably within a day or so). Cheers, Earle. -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.org/net/earlemartin/

Thrown out of a cafe for using a laptop
by Andrew Black 04 Jun '06

04 Jun '06

I am wondering about putting a scathing review onto OGL. I think firstly I will ask the manager for clarification and ask that if he wishes to retain me as a customer - it is rather nice there - they should be a little more flexible. I would rather avoid putting a bad review onto OGL, rather get the management to correct. Anyone got any thoughts as to presentation of the following ------------------------------- Matthew and I were in Ray's cafe (Foyles Charring X road) eating, drinking coffee and I was checking my mail. The minion asked me to move to one of the side benches - you are meant to use them if you use a laptop. I interpreted the spirit of the rule to be that people by themselves or that stay for ages should not occupy a table to the exclusion of other customers. I asked whether it would be OK if I shut the lt and stayed a few mins - yes. When he had gone I opened the laptop. started to save my work and shutdown. He came back and harassed me (which stopped me from saving my work!) and threating to call security..... I feel your assistant was applying the rule in a rather inflexible way - there was a free table next to us. I feel inclined to avoid returning to the cafe. If you feel pleased to loose a customer fine, but I would suggest an apology would be more helpful. Maybe the rule could be revise to say "if we are busy and other customers need the table ..." (ok this started as a rant to the mailing list - turned into a draft letter to the manager. s/minion/assistant/ and /Matthew/A friend/)

GeoCoding - errors
by Andrew Black 02 May '06

02 May '06

I notice that the geocoding of the following doesnt seem quite right. However I recall a discussion some time ago with Ivor that in there are sometimes errors with Google maps. http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Harcourt_Arms,_W1H_4HX Streetmap gives 51.519512 -0.164186 ) Open guides has 51.519003 -0.162582
