public transports .info version 0.2
Since last Saturday version 0.2 of publictransports.info is on-line.
Most changes have been internal or aesthetic, but be prepared to see great improvements, as I am beginning to hack PHP code!
public transports .info in English
I’m proud to introduce public transports .info. It is a mash-up of Google Maps and public transport information, which is often represented schematically or incompletely.
The idea is to show geographically and realistically all the information that the different authorities of a certain city can offer.
In the future I hope to include more means of transportation, more cities, more countries, timetables, time restrictions, a route planner (specially interesting as sometimes different transport authorities don’t speak to each other)…
Feel free to try it, play around and send me your feedback!
Internet Explorer & web development
Recently I have done some web development in my free time. I would like to share some of my findings:
- It is possible to install several versions of Internet Explorer simultaneously on a Windows box.
This is pretty useful once IE has updated itself to version 7. Find out how to do it! - Unfortunately this doesn’t work for Windows Vista, but virtualization can always be used.
Microsoft provides several versions of Internet Explorer inside a Virtual PC Windows XP image. Although these images expire some time into the future, they can be very useful for testing purposes. - It is also possible to install several versions of Internet Explorer – excluding version 7 – on Linux.
Check it out!
