<p><a class="reference" href="http://superhappydevhouse.org/">Super Happy Dev House 7</a> report:</p> <p>I got started on <a class="reference" href="http://bigasterisk.com/gasuse">gasuse</a> and rearranged some things. <a class="reference" href="http://ulaluma.com/pyx/">Donovan</a> helped me with a nested sequence in nevow. <a class="reference" href="http://divmod.org/projects/nevow">Nevow</a> is hard because of all the things you can't see, but isn't omitting things you don't need to see the <a class="reference" href="http://www.paulgraham.com/power.html">point of programming languages</a>?</p> <p>Then I got distracted with <a class="reference" href="http://overstimulate.com/">Jesse</a>'s request for some demo tiles to ship with his scrolling map widget in <a class="reference" href="http://dojotoolkit.org/">dojo</a>. I had recently made some renderings of the TIGER streetmap data, so I hacked that code some more to output tiles at multiple zooms. Then, to make our demo tiles somehow better than the tiles you get with gmaps, I added rendering of address numbers on the streets. My renderings still had various embarrassing artifacts, so I spent the rest of the night cleaning some of them up. I'm especially pleased with the results of the street name repeater code, which tries to write a street name label every 200 pixels. Text alignment still needs work; and we didn't get to try any street-smoothing algorithms.</p> <img alt="%map.png%" src="%map.png%" /> <p>Meanwhile, David Weekly was <a class="reference" href="http://superhappydevhouse.org/CarHacking">jacking into ODB-II ports</a> on people's cars to see what they would output, and I didn't even notice! I'd love to get that going on my Accord. Logs with accurate speed and timestamps would make great plots on my street maps.</p> <dl class="docutils"> <dt>Pictures of me at SHDH:</dt> <dd><a class="reference" href="http://flickr.com/photos/kadavy/92456814/">http://flickr.com/photos/kadavy/92456814/</a> <a class="reference" href="http://flickr.com/photos/cirne/92489223/">http://flickr.com/photos/cirne/92489223/</a> <a class="reference" href="http://flickr.com/photos/cirne/92555832/">http://flickr.com/photos/cirne/92555832/</a> <a class="reference" href="http://flickr.com/photos/laughingsquid/92721073/in/set-72057594055844028/">http://flickr.com/photos/laughingsquid/92721073/in/set-72057594055844028/</a></dd> </dl>
