[...] there’s no way of knowing it until digging deep into the code…and my soul.” The integer out of range issue I was running into with ThinkingSphinx is exactly the type of thing I’m talking about here. [...]

The Kindle iphone app (free!) allows you to highlight a word, which in turn creates a pop up of the word’s definition and links to Google or Wiki. Plus it allows you to make a note at that location. Naturally this only applies to books you purchased via Kindle.

Comment on Installing Mapnik on an Ubuntu 8.04 Slice by Ken-ichi

Hm, perhaps you need a particular (possibly older) version of gcc/g++? You should definitely contact the mapnik list if you haven't already, and include details about your build env and the full error msg. They are very helpful folks.

Have you tried mapnik 0.7 with this setup? I get stuck on the build step:

bindings/python/mapnik_python.cpp: In function ‘bool has_pycairo()’:
bindings/python/mapnik_python.cpp:271: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’
bindings/python/mapnik_python.cpp:271: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’

I’m clueless. Had the same problem as you — the package version doesn’t have a lot of what I want to use.

Thanks much!

Comment on Using MySQL lat/lon Columns as a Mapnik Datasource by Ken-ichi

Thanks, Udi. I might also give tilecache a try. Ideally I'd want a tile server with a small memory footprint that would accept taxon IDs in the URL and return tiles containing points for that taxon. Not entirely sure how easy that is to do yet. There's also the problem that showing these kinds of points on a map make people want to click on them (people like me, for instance). I wish I knew how Google does it...

Very very very nice!

I guess this opens many many new possibilities.

Aggressive caching might make this very scalable – and I guess tiletile has it’s own caching strategies.

Looking forward for this on iNaturalist!

I want to build one, but its priority keeps slipping! The best way to really make sure we listen to your requests is the Goodreads user feedback group, since I found this blog post in a _very_ round about way.
