Photos and slides from ECER 2005 on our new Flickr account
14-September-2005
We have posted several dozen photos photos from ECER 2005 on our new area in the Flickr photo-sharing service.
We have also placed the slides from James Wickham's keynote address in flickr as an online slidehsow.
Flickr is a free photo-sharing service of the "Web2.0" variety - ie lots of "RSS news feeds and an API which allows other sites and programs to interact with it (see my del.icio.us tag for examples and definitions). The 'API' gubbins means that there are loads of wonderful 3rd-party tools for managing, uploading, organising and viewing the photos on your flickr account.
We've posted photos there which were taken at the ECER 2005 conference in Dublin ( 42 photos so far ). If you have a Flickr account, please add the tag "ECER_2005" to any conference photos you upload to it. If you do not have a Flickr account, and want to upload some photos, you can post them directly into the weblogs here - but we also highly recommend getting your own flickr account, so you can share your photos just by uploading them to your own account and tagging them with our tags.
We've posted a downloadable iCal / Outlook version of the calendar

Google-Map of the ECER 2005 conference location
04-September-2005
The UCD organisers have helpfully included some maps of the campus and of Dublin in their website for ECER 2005, but I since the wonderful google-maps came out a few months back, I much prefer maps in that format as opposed to images. Google-maps are graphical, but they also expose geo-location data, which provides context and zoomability, and also opens them up to 3rd-party services and powerful user-actions. So I found the campus on google maps and include a link here: google-map of ECER 2005 location
To get a more precise picture of the campus, you'll have to refer to the jpg campus map image or the printer-friendly pdf campus map kindly provided by the organisers.
If anyone wants to annotate the google map - for instance to show the precise locations of the buildings/rooms, or of good eating places - please do so and then copy the new link and post it in a reply to this post, or in a new post.
By annotating precise locations and sharing the google-map link, you could also make it easier to arrange places to meet up for meals ( or possibly even drinks? :o)
