At one time I hoped to be able to persuade people smarter than me to resurrect hosted domains for people to use WithKnown to blog. To that end, I bought the domain known.blog, which is now up for renewal. Again. By now I have mostly run out of hope, though not entirely. That is why I would be willin...

Been thinking about these data, and generally concluded that speed is a very crude measure, depending as it does on starting and stopping tracking at the correct times. That’s OK for mechanised transport, usually, although I do tend to leave it running as I hang around at a bus stop waiting for the next bus, because I reckon it is the average trip speed that matters. On the bicycle, though, I tend to pause the workout on my watch but leave the overall track running. Average speed from Compass is thus very different from average speed from the watch. No big deal.

Delayed by a day because I judged a blog carnival round-up to be of a higher priority. And to be honest, there isn't that much to report, but here goes anyway.

Deciding to host a blog carnival was the easy part. Actually doing the work took me right back to those wonderful merry-go-round rides of yesteryear, complete with steam driven organ, as opposed to all the shiny themed rides of the modern amusement park. But enough reminiscence. To work!

Like I said, Monday offered perfect weather to extend my customary long bike ride. A lot. Instead of stopping at the Raccordo, I had resolved to continue to the sea and come back by train from Ostia. I made it, and I enjoyed it despite some faily hairy passages.
