opendata national rail UK close API

shared by Johann Höchtl on 03 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • About a year ago I wrote a simple web application to present UK train times in a simple format for mobile phone users.
  • When I wrote the app none of the official train timetable sites could do this and I don’t believe any can now.
  • To reiterate – I built this because it was convenient and would be useful to others.  Not to make a profit. …and today National Rail killed it.

  • the page on London Datastore has now been locked.  “Access Denied”.  Possibly because a lot of discussion appeared on there which was critical of ATOC’s decision to extract money from users of the service
  •  If you’re a user of the application and disagree with National Rail’s greed in trying to make money out of a data source which was hitherto free, I can only suggest you email nrelicensing@atoc.org and express your concerns.

mygov personalisation UK brown norway

shared by Johann Höchtl on 23 Apr 10 - Cached
  • A MyGov dashboard that allows every citizen to personalise the explosive growth of government services on the web was proposed today by Gordon Brown.
  • Brown said MyGov, which will eventually replace DirectGov, will end the current frustration of web users needing to identify themselves separately for different public services. He also said the dashboard will allow the citizen to manage their pensions, tax credits and child benefits, as well as pay council tax, fix doctors or hospital appointments, apply for schools of their choice and communicate with children's teachers.

shared by Johann Höchtl on 13 Sep 10 - No Cached
  • Google Caffeine — the remodeled search infrastructure rolled out across Google's worldwide data center network earlier this year — is not based on MapReduce, the distributed number-crunching platform that famously underpinned the company's previous indexing system. As the likes of Yahoo!, Facebook, and Microsoft work to duplicate MapReduce through the open source Hadoop project, Google is moving on.
