info@beatsdesign.co.uk (Phil Taylor) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:06:35 GMT

I’ve recently developed a bit of a vested interested in the various islands off the UK (it’s vested as I want to visit them!) and have trawled the internet to find some interesting places, stories and photos from our watery rocks. Firstly, I was interested to note that the most populated island in the UK (bar the mainland, of course!) is in..

Urban Regeneration & Google SketchUp

Recently, I was looking at a site in Edinburgh that was being regenerated (in fact, at the moment a lot of our open spaces are being 'redeveloped') and it made me think about how the public can get involved in such schemes. Let's be honest, generally these things..

Launching RSS Feeds for both Blogs

info@beatsdesign.co.uk (Phil Taylor) — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:08:32 GMT

Although the Beats! Design Blog has had an RSS feed for a few weeks now, I've now added one for the UK Webcams Blog so thought it easier to launch them both together! The UK Webcams Blog contains stories from this blog that relate specifically to the UK Webcams project to help give users an idea of changes and progress: UK Webcams - Blog.

The UK Webcam Map - Weather Polygons

info@beatsdesign.co.uk (Phil Taylor) — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 14:47:28 GMT

Since the beginning of the UK Webcam Map (beatsdesign.co.uk/ukwebcams/), users have been adding data on a number of things. Each day, weather data is imported from the Met Office (changes 3 times daily) and each info box shows the predicted weather at that location. Users can then look at the webcam image and say if the weather is as predicted or not. This can then be used..

New Terrain Layer in Google Maps

info@beatsdesign.co.uk (Phil Taylor) — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 22:56:12 GMT

As you may have noticed, Google have recently added a terrain map layer to their mapping applications. In order to add this layer to embedded mapping and also to have it as a layer option (like on maps.google.co.uk), a few changes need to be implemented. To start with, you need to make sure your javascript link has the most recent version set. This is the same string that contains your google map key. Just before..
