Pool has been updated. Some changes at the top but now Emrah has pretty much wrapped it up. I say pretty much cause perhaps I miscalculated somewhere. Results: Uruguay 1 (4) : 1 (2) Ghana Netherlands 2 : 1 Brazil Paraguay 0 : 1 Spain Argentina 0 : 4 Germany Upcoming matches: Uruguay vs. Netherlands […]
Now proud owner of an iBrick while trying to unlock my iPhone 3GS with iOS4.0

OpenStreetMap Plugin
A friend of mine introduced me to OpenStreetMap (OSM) a while back.
