From the archives A while ago I wanted to implement Microsoft Virtual Earth (that’s now Bing Maps) into one of my projects (Web-Application). Unfortunately the existing geo-coordinates were formatted using the the Gauss Krüger notation. The problem is that both, Virtual Earth and Google Maps, are working with latitude/longitude. So I had to convert the [...]
I recently wrote that I am working on a new project using some exciting technologies like the Spark View Engine and nHibernate. I was planning to write about some pitfalls along the development process or stuff in general which I think could be interesting to write about. Well, I didn’t! That’s not because there wasn’t [...]
I recently faced the challenge of geocoding existing locations. The location table contains about 10k entries. Around 75% of which had useful address data attached to it.

I recently bought a Macbook and do all my development stuff using Parallels to host a virtual windows machine. I have 2 virtual machines running, one Windows XP box and one Windows 2008 Server box which is my [...]
