I've had a backlog of GPS traces for a few weeks. The last few days I finally got through them.
I added a bunch of stuff from around my local area, as well as the nonames from my bike trip the other day (missed a few streets off the end of this one because my phone glitched and didn't save the waypoints. No biggie I guess.)
I also went and added some of the data from my trip out to Bribie Island with Matt (which I can't link because I didn't write about it.) We were going to follow the cycleway, but it doesn't really exist for most of the way, it's just road cycling and fast cars. But there's a few bike paths I got traces of, so it wasn't completely for nothing.
Looking at the Moreton Bay Cycleway signs, it looks like the cycleway might end up detouring out through Beachmere before heading to Bribie, so it may be more complete via that route. I'll have to check it out another day.
I've also been using the NearMap PhotoMaps to augment the OSM data in areas I've been but not traced. I've been especially focusing in Redcliffe/Deception Bay where I know the cycleway runs but I've never actually had the chance to trace. I've been focusing on cycleways because I'm hoping to use the data for a local project I'm working on. It's somewhat hush hush at the moment but if you ask me real nice I'll probably tell you what my plans are anyway. :P
I also took a while this afternoon to trace a bunch of new estate in Warner, out the back of Bracken Ridge. Holy MOLEY that area has exploded. It used to be an unfashionable backwater behind the industrial estate with not even a streetlight to its name, but in the last ten years it's become massive (without, I note with a hint of irritation, any hint of mass transit.) Keep an eye on the area for when Mapnik starts updating again, because I'm anticipating a whoooole bunch of new streets to pop into life shortly.

OSM's mapnik tiles update within 5mins or so of uploading, however browsers cache the tiles for a lot longer and you either need to clear the cache in your browser or click on the perma link and then hit ctrl+shift refresh to do the same thing.

As far as I'm aware, the minutely diffs are broken at the moment, thus Mapnik has stalled. It's definitely not rendering. D:
