The funniest man in GIS?

Simon Doyle, ex-Ordnance Survey man and this years chair of the AGI, clearly has hidden talents as demonstrated in his latest column in GEO:connexion magazine. Although the humour may not translate very well to international readers, there is an important point here about the inability of the GIS industry to deliver solutions that actually make a real difference to “normal people”

And sadly yes I am a regular viewer of the BBC’s Casualty – that’s what happens when you have kids 🙂

Opening up OS Research

On of the parts of my job which gives me the most pleasure is working with the OS Research and Innovation Department. Outside of the academic research community in the UK, the efforts of these guys has gone on pretty much unnoticed.

The covers began to be lifted with last years TerraFuture event, and now we have published some of the output of the Department as a library of Research Publications.

There are some really valuable insights here into the future of the geospatial data.. make a cup of coffee, put your feet up and take a look !
