Hi there,

I'm looking for speakers for a few 10-20 minute talks for the tech
meet on 18th March 2010 on the subject new. Something new you've
done or learnt about recently. If you're stuck for ideas, want to talk
Plack, Redis, cpanminus or a module you've just discovered? Please
email me offlist.

Full announcement soon, but you can sign up now on:

Nice traffic RSS feed

2010-03-05 Thread Michael Lush


I've been writing a little traffic warning script for my nslu2 (nothing 
special it plays traffic jam noises if there is a problem on the road to 
work:-)


Anyway I started out scraping the BBC traffic page, however I had cause to 
look for a better source and came across this rss feed from the Highways 
agency on this page (http://www.highways.gov.uk/traffic/11253.aspx)


http://www.highways.gov.uk/rssfeed/rss.xml

Thought someone else may find it useful (I like it, it even has the 
lat/lon of the incident so I can limit the search to bits of the A14 I 
actually use)

Thanks. That looks very useful although it's a shame it only includes
unplanned events so most causes of serious traffic problems (roadworks)
wont be covered by it.

Anyone fancy a 1U server?

2010-03-05 Thread Roger Burton West
I have a spare 1U server - 3GHz Pentium 4, a gig of RAM. The IDE
controller is naffed (it's pre-SATA), but there's a PCI riser into which
you could drop the controller of your choice; there are two hard drive
mounting points. Anyone interested?
