Geographic visualisation of web Etiquette - October 2009
Exposing your online etiquette
A geographic visualisation of web Etiquette.
The {e}Etiquette Crawler trawls through the internet making an assessment of website owners’ online etiquette based on the wording of their site; it then marks this rating on the map at their geographic address as a coloured dot.
After a while of letting it crawl the internet you can start to see patterns emerging on the map.

Wireless sidescan - March 2009
 |
A system that extends the towing depth of a low-cost side-scan, so it can be towed close to the sea floor to produce fine detail images. It transmits the data over a network that links wireless to a laptop, allowing the laptop to be kept in a dry place. The network setup also allows for additional devices to be connected, e.g. heading and depth sensors cameras and control units. |
