Repository GPG Key Issues

Freitag, den 17. Mai 2013

Fehmarn Camouflage 2013 smallI re-installed the whole server some time ago because I fucked up apt while updating from stable to unstable. I just forgot to install all the dependencies my workflow for providing a signed repository requires so there were some issues with the gpg key. Should be okay again after being broken for a couple of days/weeks now (have been to Fehmarn with a couple of friends these days), thanks for your patience.

raspberry-piI had my approximately 32th birthday lately and my circle of friends decided to gift me a raspberry pi – and you guys know what happened first.. I created a wallpaper m(

Yay! mein-neues-blog.de finally goes fucking evil!!!1

Sonntag, den 10. Februar 2013

Whatever happened – this site was listed by google as a honeypot for spreading malware or the like lately. I checked the server, the website and the content – everything is fine, no hack, no malicious comments – nothing.

So until I retreat to googles enforcement to create a webmaster tools account to let them “check” my site I will wait some time.

Feel free to stop visiting this blog because of googles “findings” – I’m fine with it – trust whoever you like to.

Thanks a lot to Thopter for pointing this out!

MySQL Databases with Countries, Borders and Cities

Mittwoch, den 30. Januar 2013

Actually I’m coding some web apps for my new employer and I needed a couple of geo information to build on. Since it took some time to create the database from different sources I would like to share them with the rest of the world. (Click on the header for download)

Database: countries

ID | name | code_2 | code_3 | code_num | area | population | region | subregion | latitude | longitude

  • “code_2″ is a two char country code
  • “code_3″ is a three char country code
  • “code_num” is the numerical UN code
  • “area” is the expanse of the country
  • “population” is from 2005
  • “region” is the UN region code – mainly the continent
  • “subregion” is the UN subregion code

Table: cities

ID | latitude | longitude | name | country

  • “country” is the ID of the corresponding country
There may be some “minor” cities in this database because of my special scope.

Table: coords

ID | country | coords | coords2

  • “country” is the ID of the corresponding country
  • “coords” is a comma and whitespace separated list of lat/lon for generating polygons (e.g. to create imagemaps in HTML) with up to 16 digits
  • “coords2″ is like coords but with reduced accuracy with only 3 digits max

The sources are mainly “free4all” except the border coordinates, they’re from thematicmapping.com which means that the table “coords” is released under CC-SA. Everything else is released under the DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO LICENSE
