  • moar Fusion!

    Fusion Tables is neat. Google describes it as ‘an experimental data visualization web application to gather, visualize, and share larger data tables’. Last year I tried out their API which was mostly based on sending SQL statements to create and manipulate tables. Recently, I looked at Fusion Tables again as part of an imminent upgrade […]

  • Mobile Logger progress

    I’ve been working sporadically on the app, trying to get the next release out the door. Currently, the last feature holding up release is the post log upload…there are intermittent timeouts occurring and I’d like to determine if there is a lightweight way to mitigate them. This upcoming release will likely change the “real-time” uploading […]

  • Mobile Logger – GPX extensions

    Rolling the extra logged sensor data into the GPX export took more effort that it should have…but I uncovered and fixed a latent bug in the export feature, so that’s a win right? Regardless, it’s was nice to use the new issue tracker atĀ bugs.robertcarlsen.net for real(z) for the first time. I’m looking to get several […]

  • Mobile Logger server down

    The mobile logger server seems to be having some trouble at the moment. I’m investigating the issue and will update this space when there’s news. In the meantime, I’d advice anyone having trouble logging to disable the Upload feature in the settings. Thanks for patience! UPDATE: It looks like the server is back online. 12:09 […]

  • Gone global (again)

    Thanks to a (very flattering) mention of my thesis project on Gizmodo after the ITP Spring Show, the use of Mobile Logger has quadrupled in the past two days. I had been watching the number of unique users rise on the Dashboard page, currently near 800…but then wondered what that would look like animated over […]

  • Mobile Logger has gone global

    The Mobile Logger application has been public for a couple of weeks and has (surprisingly, to me) been used in every continent, save Antarctica. I first noticed several events in the database from Australia, then the UK. I was mostly catching these events by coincidence when I was looking over my own data and wondered […]

  • Earth Day + Mobile Logger

    Thursday, April 22nd is Earth Day. The weather is looking to be sunny and 65 degrees in New York City. Sounds like a perfect day to ride your bike (or walk, run or whatever you like to do outside). Since you’re already going to be out there, why not log the trip, help me with […]
