Google Earth Launches | Comments (3)

Google Earth is a free download (for windows) that enables you to view the earth as a 3D object that you can zoom in and fly around. You can adjust the tilt and see buildings in 3D, fly to locations, it really is quite amazing.

Imagine a combination of Google Maps and Google Local in 3D. The search facilities can literally fly you anywhere on the map

It really has to be seen to be believed. If you’ve got windows and your machine’s up to the spec take a look.

@Palace fan – Yes you’re right, it would be nice to see versions for both mac and Linux.

Especially as I’m planning to move to Mac in the near future! I’ll be able to add this to the list of apps I’ll miss!

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
