I created a special tile set that contains the Rhode Island tile set and supporting data, along with sample files that help you get going quickly. For more details, visit the Free 5-Digit ZIP Code Sample Set Information page over at MapTechnica.]]> http://stringfoo.com/2010/06/06/maptechnica-try-before-you-buy/feed/ 0 http://stringfoo.com/2010/05/15/maptechnica-updated-with-us-city-boundary-maps/ http://stringfoo.com/2010/05/15/maptechnica-updated-with-us-city-boundary-maps/#comments Sat, 15 May 2010 20:53:03 +0000 sstringer http://stringfoo.com/?p=331 Lots going on over at my side-project, MapTechnica, lately. In addition to the US 5-Digit Zip Code Maps and US County Boundary Maps, I've just turned on City maps.]]> http://stringfoo.com/2010/05/15/maptechnica-updated-with-us-city-boundary-maps/feed/ 0 http://stringfoo.com/2007/12/10/announcing-ribbnzcom-beta/ http://stringfoo.com/2007/12/10/announcing-ribbnzcom-beta/#comments Mon, 10 Dec 2007 16:24:03 +0000 sstringer http://stringfoo.com/2007/12/10/announcing-ribbnzcom-beta/ I'm opening phase 2 of a friends and family beta on the latest Stringer Site, Ribbz.com, which lets you manage private wish lists for things like Christmas, Hanukah, birthdays, etc. I know wish-listing is a cultural thing particular to certain families, but it works like a charm for families like mine who are spread to the far ends of the earth.
It's a bit late for this holiday season, but I'm looking forward to having this in place for 2008. If you or anyone you know might be interested in checking it out, feel free to visit the site. http://ribbnz.com

The StringFoo site just got a remodel of sorts. As the saying goes, the cobbler's kids have no shoes. Such is the case with StringFoo. The demands of client work (also known as the primal need for income) have always meant that a much-needed update to StringFoo always took a back seat. Well, I finally got sick of looking at the gray beast and decided to redesign the site. What do you think? What do you like, what do you hate? I'd love your feedback.]]> http://stringfoo.com/2007/10/17/stringfoo-site-redesign/feed/ 0 http://stringfoo.com/2007/10/17/more-data-loss-woes/ http://stringfoo.com/2007/10/17/more-data-loss-woes/#comments Wed, 17 Oct 2007 10:29:43 +0000 sstringer http://stringfoo.com/2007/10/17/more-data-loss-woes/ Ack! I made a wonderful discovery today. In my recent bout with Catastrophic Data Loss (consult your doctor for possible side effects), it appears that another casualty are the comments. And here I thought that it was just quiet. Alas, no, all the comments ever made by anyone on any topic on this blog have gone *poof*. My apologies to those kind enough to comment on my aimless ramblings. I only hope that you will do so again on future stories.]]> http://stringfoo.com/2007/10/17/more-data-loss-woes/feed/ 0
