Geolocation & Beer: Part 1 – Finding the user
Posted on May 5th, 2010 by Neil Crosby. Filed under Blog Posts.
I recently attended BarCamb3, a BarCamp held at the lovely Red Gate Software offices in Cambridge. My main contribution to the event was talking about a silly little weekend learning project I’ve been working on – Beer Near Me.

It’s been almost a week now, so I thought I’d better write down my thoughts about Social Media Camp London ’09 now before they all vanish from my head. I didn’t go to last year’s Social Media Camp. I only heard about it a couple of days before it was due to happen, and frankly […]

One of the sessions I attended at BarCamp London 5 this weekend was Stefan Magdalinski’s talk about the Moo API. Ever since I made my first The Ten Word Review Moo Cards by hand I’ve been wanting to automate the process, but lack of time and incentive has always let me down. So, what changed? […]

WikiSlurp: Slurping Data from Wikipedia for Fun and Profit
Posted on September 28th, 2008 by Neil Crosby. Filed under Blog Posts.
This last weekend I attended BarCamp London 5, where I talked about WikiSlurp, my technique for accessing the wealth of data held within Wikipedia. I currently use WikiSlurp on both Is Neil Annoyed By and The Ten Word Review as a way to pull in additional information about the things described on individual pages. These […]
