I'm looking forward to tonight's session - I reckon the security checks might take a while - And the Bus thing could be a logistical nightmare (I'm guessing they are using buses as most the site is still off limits?)
I'm sat in block 118 which is near the center of the banking. I've packed my DSLR, a fisheye and long lens, along with a "reasonable" packed lunch ( I decided to leave the ceremonial dagger and over sized hat at home) So I hope they all make it past security OK.

Finally someone (Pokerstars) has released a real money/tournament poker app.

You could always do something with the lfgss Bike tag game data. There is a klm file with a few hundred points in it, in a link on the first post of the thread
But someone has already converted the co-ords into a video recently ;)
-
I didn't see anything about camera restrictions on the list, So i think I'll take my SLR and a couple of lenses.

I've just done some rough & ready calculations.
Total: 897 Miles between tags
Max: 11.8 miles
Average: 2.47 miles(These are based on the 365 tags in the mapping kml file, and some quick and dirty co-ord conversions)
I'll stop derailing the thread with pointless stats and vids, back to tagging...
-
Clever stuff. I wonder what the greatest distance between tags is to date? Someone put some miles in at about 41 seconds.
I'll convert the co-ords to Easting/Northings when i get a spare min.
Then i can use Pythagoras' theorem* to work out the straight line distance.
*See kids GCSE maths is useful.
-
Is there any statistical analysis of tag sequences that might indicate where the next likely tag is? I.e. if the last three tags were southwest there is a 75% chance that the next tag will be to the North East within a one mile radius?
In short, have you found a way to cheat?
No, I've been working on a football prediction model in my spare time, Its not made me rich yet! So maybe I'll switch my stats resources to predicting Tags;)
That's amazing! how did you make it?
I used some software called Tableau. Its great for datavisualisations, reporting and dashboards. (It can also map Co-Ord's so it can do basic maps!)
Its fairly easy to use once you get your head round how to format the data ready to load, They do a public (Free) version for small datasets and you can load them to the interweb (It can be a bit slow viewing them online so i made a video to speed it up)
-
Here is a quick map/video of all the tags in order...*
If I was feeling very geeky/had more time I’d colour code the dots/lines by who made the tags
(*If i’ve downloaded and reformatted the klm file correctly)

Bicycle tag or bikers may be saddened to see the current state (as of this morning) of the sewer-powered lamp at the foot of Carting Lane
Bicycle tag or bikers may be please that it now been fixed...
...Carry on tagging

Its only got one brake

Last time I went through a golden arches drive through on my bike they refused to serve me and said it was for cars only. I told them i dint have a lock so wasn't going inside without my bike and they gave in.

Cavs favourite on Betfair.
I'm tempted to take a punt on him, but I'm worried about the golfers (Rather than Murray), as the voting is going to be a bit of a popularity contest.
Is Cycling bigger than Golf? [no?] but there are a few golfers on the list which might spread their votes...
-
Fuck yeah - failed Friday. Got in on Thursday!
Snap ;) [Thursday is the new Friday]

Also, Cav is on the c4 news with Jon snow tonight...

At last, a rest day from all the Boardman adds
(I've never wondered why is there a 2nd and 3rd place on a podium?)
