#bttowerview
I love this digital stuff. Following a tweet and some exchanges of emails the inimitable @cgutteridge has created a great mashup of the BT tower view panorama, wikipedia (including use of RDF) and lat long locations e.g. from google maps. Have a look at the BTtowerview mashup. It would be great to identify some archaeological and architectural history locations as RDF to feed into the view.
Has anyone hacked a way of turning a long lat location to #bttowerview bookmark? e.g. btlondon2012.co.

#caasoton finished
Tomorrow is the excursions day at #caasoton so the main conference has finished. It has been an extraordinary few days.

CAA2012 starts in 12 hours
Well I can't quite believe it but CAA2012 is finally here.

Tim Sly and I are unbelievably grateful to everyone here who has put in so much effort to make this happen. Some of them are named in the guide.
