Recap:
- Saturday, Sunday: Geeking out. Toss it up on a server.
- Monday (9th): IM dozen people to show off and fish forcomplements. Fire off an email to menupages. Post to blog.
- Robin: “You never proof read anything, do you? Don’t leaveit like that. People are going to think you are an illiteratemoron.”
- Me: “Whatever. No one’s going to see it.”
- Friday: Notice that my server is busy. What the… Poke through access.log and see that Google Maps Mania somehow finds it – the day that they their interview on NPR wasbroadcast. Yee-haw! Curious as to how they found me, I ask how they did it and they say “Similar to technorati - it’s my trade secret.”
So mysterious. - Monday (16th): Server dies for 4 days for reasons unexplained.
Very annoying, though mostly because it hosts my mail. - Saturday, Sunday, Monday: Spend weekend packing, moving out of myapartment, being tired.
- Get email from CEO of menupages saying that I am the man, andthat Eater and Grid Skipper picked it up.
- Today: Gothamist links.
The internet. Who knew?
This was a casual throw-away project for me, (quote Gridskipper: “A bit kludgy and slow”), but I’m basically happily unemployed andthis is fun to play with so what else do you think I should do withit? I was thinking about selling it to menupages so I could, youknow, finance that wine bar we’ve been thinking about starting. Itmight be nice to pull in different data sources – something thatcovers Brooklyn, perhaps? Who knows. Feel free to drop me a linewith any questions/suggestions.
