At this moment I’m uploading all the material to the web. The whole project folder is 195 Mb! That’s not surprising as it contains thousands of photographs. The script for the whole application is 535 lines long. There is one bug that I couldn’t fix at this moment. But after two months of full time work on […]

Back in workflow
I’ve recovered from the flue which has stopped me from working for three days. I picked up my poster from the print shop today. The result is OK. Due to outdated information on their website I made my lay-out to small so the quality could have been better. For ages I’ve been wanting a program […]
Developing media
Yesterday my good friend Cécile had a look at the design for my poster and made some useful comments. So I’m not finished with it but almost finished. I think it will look nice on A2 size. I’ve made progress with the loading of the images. I’ve now come to the point that I really […]
Day by day
I’ve just finished the interface for browsing the work day by day. It took much more time then anticipated. This was because as soon as I jumped to another day the program started slowing down to an unacceptable level. I had to figure out why that happened before I could carry on. Finding that out […]
It’s taking shape
Yesterday I spend all day working on the web application (finally, because Wednesday evening it appeared that I still had two days of data to sort which took me the rest of the day.) To my mild surprise this went very smoothly. I can now show the two graphs with heartbeats, the two maps and the […]
Acquire, parse and filter
I’m finally finished with the acquisition, parsing and the filtering of the data. The non-visual data that is. I’ve spend the last couple of days working on it. It’s pretty dull work but essential for displaying the data correctly. So now I’ve got 14 exquisite files which hold all the data (date and time, heart-rate, […]
No place like home
I’m on the train going back to Breda. I feel very cheerful, so I suppose that isn’t such a good sign. Looking back it has been exciting. Trying to get a the sort of life I like to lead in Amsterdam. But a metropolis is very different from a provincial town like Breda. The pace […]
Lost my tracks
Yesterday I discovered something very disturbing. The XML file with the GPS track was missing 40 tracks in the log for the fourth. Not at the beginning or end but just, somewhere…?! This file has thousands of nodes and is almost 1 Mb big. A node looks likes this: <trkpt lat=”52.387110000″ lon=”4.909017000″> <ele>48,5</ele> <time>2009-01-05T07:46:35Z</time> </trkpt> […]
It works!
I’ve made myself very happy tonight. I decided to write the code that invents the data from the Suunto watch, that was lost yesterday. I wanted the date and times to be right but the beats per minute would just be 10 everywhere. The strangest thing happened when I was programming. I didn’t understand quite […]
yesterday
I’m being challenged at the moment. Yesterday (and a little earlier) I noticed that my heart-rate belt was having problems. So I reckoned it was a good idea to replace the battery. After I’d replaced it the watch couldn’t find the belt anymore. So I couldn’t do any measuring of the heart-rate. So today, as […]
