[Updated] I’ll be presenting at Velo-City in Vancouver later this week. Velo-City is the “world’s premier cycling planning conference”. It is likely to have a significant bike-sharing flavour – the lead sponsor being PBSC which designed the 6000-odd “Boris Bikes” (aka Barclays Cycle Hire bikes) that are a distinctive sight in central London, as well […]

This is a very new development which we only just got working in time, so we don’t have any baseline data to compare against yet, but the two maps … Read more →

The TfL Countdown API for buses was released a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been experimenting with it for the ANTS project so that we can add real-time bus tracking to the Tube, River Services and National Rail libraries. The ultimate aim of the ANTS project is to show how failures affect multi-modal flows, … Read more →

I therefore added NSData and NSString categories to a public domain C implementation instead. This remains public domain: do with it what you will. It relies on a hex-encoding category […]
