http://diycity.org/local-group/diy-cincinnati Working on DIYcity projects in Cincinnati, Ohio. en http://diycity.org/diy-cincinnati/cincinnati-diytraffic <p>Team,</p> <p>I just wanted to let the Cincinnati people know that I have successfully (knock on wood) set up an instance of the DIYtraffic bot for Cincinnati. It can be found at: </p> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/traffic_cincy" title="http://twitter.com/traffic_cincy">http://twitter.com/traffic_cincy</a></p> <p>Like all DIYtraffic bots it's getting it's traffic data from Yahoo. Also, it will respond to driect messages with traffic info on specific streets (if there is any). I've also plugged it into twittbot.com so it will re-tweet @replies it gets.</p> <p>If you're on twitter, check it out. So far it hasn't tweeted anything about traffic, because I don't think there are any accidents or anything in our area.</p> <p>I'll keep you posted on how it goes if anything of interest happens with this.</p> <p>~Dave</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/local-group/diy-cincinnati" class="og_links">DIY Cincinnati</a></li> </ul></div> http://diycity.org/diy-cincinnati/cincinnati-diytraffic#comments DIY Cincinnati cincinnati cincinnati oh ohio traffic twitter Thu, 26 Feb 2009 20:36:04 -0800 dave_menninger 307 at http://diycity.org http://diycity.org/diy-cincinnati/meetup-cincinnati <p>I'm proposing that maybe we should meetup in-person and talk about some ideas. Would anyone else be interested in that? Is it too soon? Let's let this be the thread for discussing a possible meetup. Venue ideas?</p> <p>(i'm in downtown / mt. adams but am perfectly happy to drive anyplace. i'm at work til 6 on weekdays.)</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/local-group/diy-cincinnati" class="og_links">DIY Cincinnati</a></li> </ul></div> http://diycity.org/diy-cincinnati/meetup-cincinnati#comments DIY Cincinnati Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:40:16 -0800 dave_menninger 280 at http://diycity.org http://diycity.org/diy-cincinnati/possible-project-ideas-cincinnati <p>Here is an initial list of ideas I came up with off the top of my head. I'd like to hear if anyone else in the group has any other ideas, or thoughts on how to work on these ideas.</p> <p>CityCouncil2RSS - A lot of what council does is put online, but it would be nice if we had some feeds and such. I've also experimented with automatically adding contextual links into things like the meeting minutes.</p> <p>Local Food Distribution - This is just a vague notion right now, but maybe something could be done to coordinate local farmers in new ways to get their goods to different types of consumers like restaurants.
