Preparations

2023 01-25: Latitude 50.850347519055674 Longitude 4.375579829793424

Underway of preparing for the trip, and making sure I have everything and dealt with the commitments before leaving. I am looking forward, perhaps particularly to Bulgaria and Greece but also to Germany, Prague, Budapest, and Transylvania. We will see how long I travel. Maybe would be nice to continue somewhere and return in late April. Maybe the Nordics or Turkey and Georgia. We’ll see! I think I should maybe slow things down a little while sticking to the plan, not be overambitious, and enjoy. Cross-country skiing around Kolasin would indeed be something realiseable. Hope to get two weeks after all and will insist on Belgrade with the boys.

So it’s been 7 years since she got taken. It’s been that long I feel helpless. I really hope I can be there for her. I just want to protect her. My baby’s. I miss you. I miss who I was when I was your mother. I need to make this right.

I just thought I’d update my diary and give a shout for my trusty GT-31. Every few years I revive it and take it out for some data logging. This year I took it around the new Waterbeach development near Cambridge, UK. It worked perfectly. This is an amazing piece of kit.

One slight let-down was discovering that GPSBabel seems to have dropped support for the GT-31’s native SBP format. I thought that might be the end of my OSM career, but then luckily I found that I can still run the old NaviSys software on Windows 11. I can’t connect to the GT-31 over USB any more (why not?) but I can load the SBP file from the SD card and convert it to GPX. I can then drop the GPX file straight into OSM’s iD editor. Such great software!

Droga Pani z telewizji, infotainment to nie jest format dla telewizji publicznej. I choć chętnie zrobiłbym wyjątek dla polskiego odpowiednika „Wieczoru z Johnem Oliverem”, informacja w telewizji publicznej powinna korzystać z innych wzorców, brytyjsk…

Zaraz miną dwa lata. Wojna o naszą przyszłość toczy się w najlepsze.

A wiecie, kto się podpisał w 2002r pod projektem zmiany w #KodeksPostępowaniaKarnego , która zakazuje osadzonym odmawiać przyjmowania posiłków ?
Tak. Tak. Tak!
Ten sam , który teraz głoduje. 😱
Tzn podpisana jest większa, grupa, przypadkiem ta sama , którą od listopada 2020r prawomocnie wolno nazywać zorganizowaną grupą przestępczą.

Rzeczony przepis to jest konkretnie art 116a p.5 :
"Skazanemu nie wolno odmawiać przyjmowania posiłków dostarczanych przez administrację zakładu karnego w celu wymuszenia określonej decyzji lub postępowania, a także powodować u siebie uszkodzenia ciała lub rozstroju zdrowia, jak również nakłaniać lub pomagać w dokonywaniu takich czynów"

Ale... to nie koniec tej historii.
Bo jak spojrzymy w proces legislacyjny to widać że procedowane były łącznie dwa projekty zmiany w ustawie.
Drugi (czyli pierwszy) projekt złożył rok wcześniej prezydent Kwaśniewski.
No i patrzymy w ten pierwszy projekt , a tam... ten sam art 116a z punktem o zakazie głodowania, który potem przepisali słowo w słowo obecni i przyszli przestępcy w projekcie poselskim. 😆

Teraz ktoś powinien przypomnieć Mariuszowi ( oraz Dupie, biskupom i innym zmartwionym ich losem) , że 20+ lat temu sam sobie ten zakaz uchwalił, w dodatku w pełnej zgodzie z (ówczesnym) prezydentem.

Dear Diary,

Today marked a significant milestone in my exploration of the world—my first mapping activity. Armed with my trusty GPS device, a sense of curiosity, and a desire for adventure, I set out to document the landscape around me.

The morning air was crisp, and the sun cast a warm glow as I embarked on this new journey. Armed with the tools of modern exploration, I navigated through familiar streets and ventured into areas I had yet to discover.

As I walked, I marked waypoints at interesting locations, capturing the essence of each spot. The quaint coffee shop on the corner, the hidden park with its serene ambiance, and the bustling market—all found their place in my digital map.

Creating routes added a sense of purpose to my exploration. I followed winding paths, capturing the intricate network of streets and alleys. It felt like I was leaving a digital trail of breadcrumbs, each waypoint telling a story of the places I visited.

The highlight of my mapping adventure was recording a track of my entire journey. It was fascinating to see the intricate pattern that emerged—a visual representation of my exploration. The twists and turns, the pauses at various landmarks, all etched into the digital canvas of my mapping application.

This activity not only satisfied my curiosity but also ignited a newfound appreciation for the art of mapping. Each point on the map now holds memories, and the routes tell tales of the paths I’ve taken.

As I conclude this diary entry, I can’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment. My first mapping activity opened a door to a world of discovery, and I’m eager to continue exploring and mapping the beauty that surrounds me.

Until the next adventure, makilagi ed

Boję się tych, którzy nieustępliwie „swoje wiedzą”. Od przedwczoraj czytam wpisy ludzi, którzy oznajmiają mi to swoje, co je wiedzą, wraz z życzeniami pogonienia Ukraińców i takich jak ja złodziei,

Gorące newsy na całym świecie: prezydent naszego państwa, człowiek, który powinien stać na straży konstytucji i sam świecić przykładem, spotkał się ze skazanymi przestępcami. Są w Polsce „więźniowie polityczni”, ale ich nie ma, bo zostali ułaskawieni. I oto piszą o Polsce wszystkie większe światowe gazety. Mamy reklamę – tylko czy o taką reklamę nam chodziło?

Udało się! Miliony wydawane na promocję naszego kraju, ciężkie pieniądze z Ministerstwa Kultury na reklamy, a tu wystarczyło podkręcić naszego najlepszego z możliwych prezydentów i już mamy doskonałą promocję naszego kraju. Piszą o nas teraz we wszystkich gazetach, opowiadają o Polsce w dziennikach informacyjnych na świecie. Trzeba było tylko zrobić z Pałacu Prezydenckiego melinę i już, działa.

Naprawdę nie docenialiśmy Dudy – znaczy się, prezydenta. A okazał się mężem przenikliwym. Wpuścił w swe progi dwóch panów, za którymi uganiała się policja, przechował ich przez chwilę, a potem zniknął tuż przed policyjnym nalotem.

Teraz robi się coraz ciekawiej. Najwyraźniej panowie Wąsik i Kamiński za mało się utuczyli na polskim budżecie, bo oto ogłoszono wzruszającą zbiórkę pieniędzy na biedne żony i dzieci „więźniów politycznych”, cierpiących za prawdę, Polskę, a kto wie, może i za wiarę. Wszystko zależy od tego, jak bardzo rozpędzi się wódz naczelny, Wielki Kaczor.

A Duda, jak już się w swej przenikliwości prezydenckiej odnalazł, to uznał, że w sumie czemu nie, ułaskawi tych dwóch raz jeszcze. Skoro mógł ułaskawiać wtedy, kiedy nie mógł, to teraz też sobie ułaskawi. A kto mu zabroni?

Pisze się więc o Polsce na całym świecie, znów mamy reklamę – tylko czy o taką reklamę nam chodziło? Niby już się robiło normalnie, a jednak jakoś nienormalnie ciągle. PiS-owskim kombinatorom tak weszło w krew mataczenie, kombinowanie, że już nawet nie potrafią inaczej. Z prezydenta zrobili długopis, z jego urzędu kabaret, z Pałacu Prezydenckiego melinę, z parlamentu aferę i hucpę. Nowy rząd próbuje posprzątać, ale mierzy się z ogromnymi zniszczeniami.

Sprawa tych dwóch panów ukazuje jak w soczewce nasz polski problem. Debatowanie, czy są przestępcami ludzie skazani przez sąd prawomocnym wyrokiem, oznacza, że kompletnie pogubiliśmy wektory.

Wąsik i Kamiński to wręcz idealny przykład patologii: szczucia na innych, podkładania dowodów winy, mataczenia, a obecnie eskalacji chamstwa. Ułaskawienie Dudy jest nie tylko tragikomiczne, ale przede wszystkim jest przerażającym potwierdzeniem bezkarności PiS-owskich dygnitarzy. Jest to rozmycie winy, wskazanie, że są w naszym kraju ludzie, którzy mogą więcej. Fakt, że prezydent uczestniczy w takich gierkach i daje się wmontować w cały ten cyrk, oznacza, że nasza demokracja wciąż jest zagrożona.

A przy okazji wyszło na jaw, że w naszym kraju nadal jest wiele osób, które popierają pełzającą dyktaturę i płaczą z powodu siedzących na komisariacie skazańców. Szkoda, że tak samo aktywnie nie broniono kobiet atakowanych na legalnych protestach, a potem wywożonych na komisariaty tylko dlatego, że skorzystały ze swoich praw obywatelskich. Szkoda, że policja była sprawna w pacyfikacji kobiet z czarnych marszów, a o wiele wolniejsza w dowożeniu na komisariat Kamińskiego i Wąsika.

Wygląda na to, że w naszym kraju ciągle obowiązuje zasada Kaczyńskiego, któremu – jak deklarował – nikt nie wmówi, że „czarne jest czarne, a białe jest białe”. I tak trwa to cały czas. Prawo nie jest prawem, sprawiedliwość nie jest sprawiedliwością, a prezydent…

I have noticed that ÖPNVKarte is not being updated since August 22 2023. Does anybody have any info about why it is not being updated

Kraków za rządów PiS-u miał wyjątkową pozycję. Nie był „ich”, ale też nie był „obcy”. Nagle pojawiły się rządowe inwestycje infrastrukturalne, takie jak przebudowa linii kolejowych czy kontynuacja obwodnicy S7.

I recently had the privilege of attending the State of the Map Africa 2023 conference in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The event, focused on “Open Mapping as a Support Tool for Local Development in Africa,” provided a platform for diverse perspectives and insightful discussions over three engaging days. Representing YouthMappers from Tanzania and GeoTE-Tanzania, I actively participated in various sessions, sharing experiences and insights on harnessing open mapping for community betterment.

Mapping Trees for Climate Change Resilience. In my first session, I delved into the critical role of open mapping tools like OpenDataKit in mapping trees for climate change resilience. The discussion highlighted practical approaches to leverage these tools, emphasizing the importance of mapping initiatives in building climate-resilient communities. The power of collaborative mapping became evident as we explored strategies to enhance environmental sustainability through open mapping.

Gender Inclusion in OSM Africa. The second session focused on gender inclusion within the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community in Africa. In a lively panel discussion, we explored avenues to improve gender representation and participation. It was inspiring to share ideas with fellow panelists and conference participants, brainstorming on practical steps to foster a more inclusive OSM environment for everyone.

Building Sustainable Open Mapping Communities Across Africa. The final panel discussion, led by Mr. Innocent Maholi from OpenMap Development Tanzania, delved into the theme of building sustainable open mapping communities across Africa. Joined by panelists Ezekiel Kiariro, Nathalie Sidibe, and Severin Menard, we exchanged insights on strategies to create enduring mapping communities. Our discourse covered topics ranging from community engagement to resource mobilization, leaving us with a roadmap for nurturing vibrant and sustainable mapping ecosystems.

Beyond Sessions: Connecting with YouthMappers. Beyond the formal sessions, the conference provided a unique opportunity to connect with fellow YouthMappers from different countries. We shared success stories, learned from each other’s experiences, and forged connections that extend beyond the conference walls. These interactions underscored the strength of a united mapping community and the potential for positive change through collaborative efforts.

Acknowledgments. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the organizers of the State of the Map Africa 2023, the supporters, donors, and all the participants who contributed to the success of the conference whether in person or virtually. Your collective support and active engagement made this conference a vibrant hub of knowledge sharing and collaboration. As I reflect on the valuable insights gained and connections made, I am inspired to continue contributing to the open mapping movement. State of the Map Africa 2023 was not just a conference; it was a catalyst for positive change, empowering us to use open mapping as a catalyst for local development in Africa. I look forward to carrying these experiences forward and collaborating with the global mapping community to create a more inclusive, sustainable, and impactful future.

In the past, as I’ve traveled, I’ve found it pretty easy to find a library when I need one. I have offline maps from OpenAndroMaps that I use with OruxMaps. I open it to my search area and ask it where the libraries are and it gives me a few. Suddenly this is failing. Perhaps it was already failing and I wasn’t finding as many as are there.

The first failure was in Etna, California. OSM directed me to a parking lot with no library around it. Luckily, I had signal that worked and could find an address 1.5 blocks away. This mark got moved when I got home.

The second failure was in Ely, Nevada. This is the county seat. There is no way they don’t have a library. My map said no. Again, I had some signal and was able to find an address. It’s a big building next to the courthouse, well lit and full of books and has excellent internet. Now that I’ve located it on OSM, I found it was marked as a post office. There’s one post office in Ely and it’s off on the east edge of town. USPS doesn’t know about this one. It’s all better now. The White Pine County Library lives!

The third failure was in Hawthorne, Nevada. This was a lesser failure. When I was lazy and just searched for something with the word “library”, I got nothing. But when wandered through the menus to search the type, I got it. It just needed to be named. Now it is the Mineral County Library.

Before, I had suspected that someone had gone through and systematically added libraries. Maybe they have and just haven’t gotten to Nevada and northern California. In Utah, I was even able to find out about the tiny library in Bluff, housed in the old jail! It’s so small it was only open 2 days a week for a few hours. At that time, it was one of the only libraries that left the internet on while closed. (I’m glad a lot more do this now. Is there a tag for that?)

Anyway, libraries, very important mapping and there’s some still in need!

Inflated Tea

So I am just learning Open Street Maps, but after the Massive Inflation that has come along, leaving coffee and tea prices at a gobsmacking 35-40 krona (3-4 Euro), I have set about trying to map cheaper spots in my home city of Stockholm. Here is a list, where Coffee and/or Tea is 15:- - 20:-. My first attempt did not turn up in searches - I guess the “Description” field doesn’t work for that.

Since toilets often cost 5:- 10:- kronor in Stockholm – a truely foul practice! – I have included information in this list as to which offer them for Free. There are several Panini Internazionales that do not have seating. I have only listed places where you can Sit here …

Cheap Cafes to Catalog So Far

Panini Internazionale near Östermalmstorg (has toilet!)

Panini Internazionale in Västermalms mall

Panini Internazionale in Birger Jarls passagen

ICA Cafe at Medborgärplatsen (has toilet!)

Hemköp Cafe at Hornstull

Röda Korsets “Kuppan” Cafe near Skanstull (has toilet!)

Kafe 44 near Medborgärplatsen (has toilet!)

Kungliga Bibliotekets Lunch room (has toilet, and drinks are sold from a machine)

7-11 near Östermalmstorg WITH A STUDENT OR PENSIONER discount - has a fair amount of seating

Extra Note: Vete Katten is Mad Expensive - BUT their pots of tea are Large and can be shared, making it 20:- each for two people. Most cafes do not serve tea that way, unfortunately … (has toilet).

I will add more as I find them … and I hope I figure out how to properly map them soon!
