Mesmo q retorno so temporário passando ferias, talvez volto definitivo mais p frente.

@mikelmaron Interested but no time in foreseeable future

I had a few tries on Mapillary shortly after arriving in August, but the temperatures was too high for my temporary support so I couldn’t get the camera stable. Unfortunately I havn’t had much time to fix this, though the temperatures are much more agreeable now so sorting out the support would be possible. Since I generally work from early morning and until dark 6 days a week, I only have Fridays to do leisure activities, and since I spend more than my share of time in the car working, I hardly move the car on the days when I don’t need to. I have some grand ideas of driving down Motorway 40 to the Saudi border, and up 80 to the Iraqi border, and maybe even 70 all the way out to the border as well.

Back in Brazil I used 2 cameras for Mapillary driving, one faced front and other back, but I only brought one camera to Kuwait. Since electronic is quite affordable here, I am thinking of purchasing another few VIRB cameras and a 360 before leaving, but due to the mentioned time restrictions I will probably not have time to arrange a setup while still in Kuwait.

Thanks Wil,

I have more than 10 years working as ex-pat, and most of the time in offshore O&G and Management roles.

Of course a new blog entry will announce the new version

Within the geographic regions covered by these updates, surprisingly none of the places I work seems to be updated. Typical my luck :(

A new version is ready for roll out, with much better chache handling, proper rule handling with classes, command line arguments, and storable configuration. Currently work in progress, but nearing ready for release.

Thanks for feedback

I chose NATO alphabet (phonetic names) to have variables follow admin_level, I started out with human readable variables indicating the name of levels, such as county, municipality, city, etc, but that became messy and confusing.

Code cleanup will sure be a task for next version, including removal of old commented code

To get rid of the redundant code after line 1000 will require a complete rewrite of how rules are handled, which might be a good idea for next version, though I have no immediate plans for that.

I’ll probably take a break from Python now, either to get to learn basic understanding of ObjC or C++, or maybe I’ll look at something completely different.

roof:colour, roof:shape and building:colour have mainly been done by another mapper, though as details start to fill in I will do more of these details as well.
