Most of the week was taken up with a workshop at the National Maritime Museum facilitated by Caper, exploring ideas for digital interactions around their Great Map. Three days of “marker fumes and coffee”, and lots of ideas and concept to show the curators and museum staff at the end. Caper assembled a great team, and it was a fun three days; really hope the museum felt so too.

I wrapped up a rough edit of the podcast I’d been producing on Monday, and otherwise, spent the rest of the week focusing on a few personal projects: fettling my VPS and upgrading it (finally) to Ruby 1.9.x, in preparation for fixing the ghost*-apps that are in need of maintenance following changes to Foursquare’s API. Not exciting work, but very satisfying to spend a day in the shell getting things just so.

(The server languished on an old version of Ruby because it primarily just runs Twitter bots; most of my Ruby webapps are all on Heroku, but that’s changing for a few, and so I want to get my house in order).
