Just GPSBabel
A while ago I posted my frustrations with running GSAK on Linux, and how I’d found a way of getting the function to send to my Garmin 60CSx to work. I thought I owed an update to anyone who read that to say I gave up on GSAK and now just use GPSBabel from the command line. Here’s the script I run: #!/bin/bash GPXZIP=$1 NAME=`echo $GPXZIP | cut -f1 -d.` unzip $GPXZIP GPXFILE=`ls *.gpx` for FILE in `echo $GPXFILE`; do gpsbabel -i gpx -f $FILE -o garmin -F usb:0 done I called the script ‘sendtogarmin.sh’. I saved it in the directory where I save all my pocket queries are stored as zip files. When it comes to load them, I just hook up the Garmin and then run: sudo ./sendtogarmin.sh pquery.zip Works for me, but I never bothered … Read entire article »

Bookshelf: The Mammoth Book of Zombie Comics
I bought The Mammoth Book of Zombie Comics last month looking for a good chunk of zombie apocalypse escapism. A unique collection of a dozen or so zombie stories, some long, some short, some hit… some miss. The tales interweave with both widely recognised zombie fiction (Necrotic: Dead Flesh on a Living Body, Black Sabbath, Might of the Living Dead, The Haunted Ship, Pigeons from Hell and Job Satisfaction) and departures from the usual clichéd tales (Pariah, In Sickness, The Immortals, Dead Tales, MAZH, Dead Eyes Open, The Corpse, Zombie World: Dead End and Zombies) as well as including one story which has more roots in real life than in fiction (The Zombie). By far the longest story was ‘Dead Eyes Open’, but I felt it took up a lot of space … Read entire article »

A Geocaching FTF Lego Short (stop motion)
I’m currently in the process of editing the film for my geocaching stop motion animation with Playmobil figures. I’m hoping it’s going to take me less than 24 hours in total – and I’m aiming for around 1m30s mark. In the meantime, check out this awesome stop motion FTF short: … Read entire article »

Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luthor King…
Martin Freeman rambling and doing a “David Brent” for Sony Bravia. One of my favourite moments in the Office (the British version) would be when Tim would simply stared straight at the camera and that said it all! … Read entire article »

Fixing A Bricked Garmin GPSmap 60CSx (Part 2)
In Part 1 I explained how my Garmin 60CSx booted up with a completely blank screen and doing a firmware update didn’t work – despite the update being successful. Now I’m going to tell you what I did do. Frustrated I googled a bit more and happened upon this forum post where someone had taken their 60CSx apart and posted photos. The topic here was a broken receiver but the images were useful to me nonetheless. I decided to pop open my own device and have a look to see if anything came loose. I didn’t take pictures, though I wish I did now, however I can provide detailed steps I took below on taking the 60CSx apart. Disclaimer – I am not a Garmin technician, and doing this may void your warranty. You may simply … Read entire article »
