Today we’re quietly (and finally!) opening up Railfinder to the public! This is our beta version and - hopefully - the first step towards that one booking site for trains across Europe that we all dream of.

Lots of work has gone into this and equally lots still to do before reach that vision, but if you’d like to try what we’ve built you can now just go to https://www.railfinder.eu and have a go!

Any and all feedback more than welcome 🙏

You often hear that certain technological trends are "inevitable", so it's fascinating to read what people were predicting even just ~25 years ago: https://twentynine.fibreculturejournal.org/fcj-216-know-your-place-headmap-manifesto-and-the-vision-of-locative-media/

Not wrong, really, but not right either.

(h/t to @genmon which is how I heard of headmap)

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".

Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!

ACM Creativity & Cognition is happening online next week in Gather. I am the virtual platform chair and I have spent WAY too many hours building a conference space that evokes London, as the 2026 conference will be in person in London.

Fully virtual conferences are accessible to all - sustainable, affordable, equitable, better for folks with caring responsibilities and those unable to travel due to VISA issues. C&C is fully virtual every other year. Join us! @acm_creativitycognition #SIGCHI

La situation financière que vit le Planning est inédite. ❤️‍🩹
Réduire les financements du Planning, c’est s’attaquer à l’accès à la contraception, à l’avortement, à la prévention des IST et des violences, à l’éducation à la sexualité.✊

Le #Planning n’est pas un service public mais une asso d’intérêt général. Les collectivités territoriales se désengagent financièrement.
