Back in Lagos
Posted 19 May 2008 by
I've returned to the country where the Internet isn't as fast, and where there is no constant supply of electricity, and where a lot of things just don't work as they should. Fun. Total journey time from Vegas took about 17 hours, including a 3-hour stopover at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. I wonder though, why isn't free wifi provided at the Atlanta airport? They had all sorts of services where you had to pay $7.95 for 24 hours or thereabouts, and you couldn't even subscribe on the spot. This should be fixed.Anyway, following the announcement of the Truveo Developer Challenge, I'm currently working on two entries. One involves implementing a Windows Sidebar gadget that displays the "Most Popular Video on the Internet" (pretty much), while the other is basically a web application that uses Google Maps to display the source (location) of the most recent videos found. The first one is taking shape while I'm still trying to work out the details of the latter. It's quite similar in concept to an app that I saw online a while back (the name escapes my mind at the moment) which shows the location where a Wikipedia article was edited within the last few seconds.
