Grand Rapids City-Wide WiFi Trial Begins
Today saw the "wire cutting" of the city-wide wireless trial sites. The launch was celebrated with a news conference by Grand Rapids mayor George Heartwell and "his wi-fi team" downtown. You can find out more about the project at wirelessgr.com, and find a complete list of trial locations in this PDF or maps of the locations here. The launch has had some press coverage, including this piece at wifinetnews.com

Experimental Google Maps Integration
For some time now I've been been meaning to try hooking Grand Rapids WiFi up with Google Maps, to produce a more usable map than the one currently employed on this site. Last night I gave it a try, and the results were mixed. With all locations plotted, the result uses a lot of memory, so it'll take more work to make it something that becomes a regular feature of this site. The brave can try it here, and you can read a bit more about the process here.

Site News
You may well have noticed that updates here have slowed of late. In part that's because the site has been ticking over nicely and now has most of its core functionality, but also because I've been keeping pretty busy. But things aren't going to be standing still. I've just moved the site into a new project management system, and have begun planning future updates. If you have ideas of new features that you'd like to see, now is the time to get in touch.
