Who are all you kids anyway?! Get off my lawn! I remember when it was nothing but capitalised HTML tags round herezzzzzzzzzz *snore*

I’m loving tinkering with Node in the evenings, but I’m sure post-work coding was less tiring years ago. Or maybe I’ve forgotten.

@alexforey Thanks Alex! This is also interesting, about how it’s better to use lat/long sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/01/1…

@tomtaylor @jonty @rachelcoldicutt You win a free hamper when, over time, you’ve ordered at least one of every item in the supermarket.

@jonty I just sicked up a bit in my mouth. And nose.

@holgate Oh of course, yes, I didn’t think. A “submit location on a map, get congresspeople back” thing will be fine.

Ah, maybe the Sunlight Congress API sunlightlabs.github.io/congress/ and/or one/some of the resources Govkit uses github.com/opengovernment… ?

US folk: Is there an API that does zip code -> Congresspeople, and then lets you fetch info about your Congresspeople’s daily activity?

@philgyford Oh, although it suddenly teleported back to Brixton for some reason. Anyway.

The Barbican’s currently floating straight towards the Crystal Palace transmitter… barbican.shipadrift.com/window (Nice thing by @jamesbridle )

@dorianfm *waves*

@fjordaan Thanks, but I’m focusing on acquihires. There’s nothing too bad about deciding something isn’t working and moving on.

A quick office survey reveals that 20% of people in this tech startup have any idea what “Yahoo!’s famous yodel” is. Maybe not that famous.
