04:46 < mcallan> thomas: i'm working on the geomapper, putting real geolocs in.
04:46 < mcallan> conseo: as per your request
07:08 < thomasvonderelbe> conseo: yes it works perfectly! :-)
07:09 < thomasvonderelbe> cool!
07:32 < conseo> mcallan: ok, cool! is it possible to do it for polls as well?
07:38 < mcallan> conseo: yes, though i'll start with the persons. Google changed the geocoding API, so it probably won't be running till tomorrow. then maybe a couple days for the polling districts. they'll be shapes, not points.
07:41 < conseo> ok, where do u store the geolocals?
07:44 < mcallan> Pollserver.Run.geocodeTable
07:46 < conseo> kk
07:47 < mcallan> this works, like it used to: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=M4C+2C3&region=ca&sensor=false
07:48 < mcallan> ha! http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=01097&region=de&sensor=false
07:48 < mcallan> so no problem
07:54 < mcallan> the district shapes probably won't cached be in a table (like geolocals), but fetched straight from wiki when the Poll is constructed. because Polls are cached in memory.
08:05 < conseo> mcallan: looks like osm is working on a solution but not quite there yet: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Free_The_Postcode
08:05 < conseo> ok
08:08 < mcallan> ok. i haven't hard-coded Google's service, but it's currently the only choice we support. i'm refactoring the code now, because it was kind of confusing... haven't looked at it in 2 years.
08:16 < conseo> ok cool
08:16 < conseo> mcallan: how long will you be around still?
08:24 < mcallan> maybe a few hours, off and on.  why?
08:48 < conseo> maybe u could set up the new harvester code?
08:49 < mcallan> it's ready?!
08:51 < mcallan> i guess obviously, it must be... :-)
08:59 < mcallan> conseo: are you around tomorrow? i start about 1000 your time.
08:59 < conseo> sure
08:59 < conseo> no hurry
09:01 < mcallan> i'm almost done for the day, that's all, because i have some other chores to catch up on. i'll ping u in the am, and start pulling then.
09:01 < mcallan> ok?
09:01 < conseo> sure
