Although you didn't get the pleasure of a modem dial up doing it that way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14619#post-184812 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 11:27:27 +0000 sallyhinch 184812@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent - I was wondering how you were getting on with this!</p> <p>Back when I was doing my IT masters, our tutor always used to say 'never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of floppy disks going down the M1' Which probably dates me (and him) a bit! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14619#post-184797 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 10:36:59 +0000 Roibeard 184797@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@WC do you have a dropbox account, or would you like me to create one for this purpose?</p> <p>The low res versions will fit, however the high res images will be too much for dropbox and would require transfer by physical media.</p> <p>Plus ça change - the Uni once had a very high bandwidth, very high latency data transfer to Glasgow, which involved filling a van with tapes. No matter how quick the network connections become, physically moving storage is likely to be superlative!</p> <p><a href="https://what-if.xkcd.com/31/" rel="nofollow">https://what-if.xkcd.com/31/</a></p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14619#post-184792 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 10:25:15 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 184792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you were able to bung the footage into dropbox our similar I could have a look? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14619#post-184790 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 10:08:46 +0000 Roibeard 184790@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yep, I've already documented the time points of the changes in infrastructure and any significant events - of which there are actually very few.</p> <p>Such as: overtaking stationary bus, using cycle bypass to traffic lights, drivers pulling out. I ignored the tailgating, as it's so common, and in any case doesn't look dramatic with a wide angle lens.</p> <p>It's all pretty normal, yet something at which most parents would baulk.</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14619#post-184783 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 09:52:05 +0000 chdot 184783@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Presumably she/you can remember where incidents were and scroll through and write down times. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14619#post-184779 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 09:36:47 +0000 Roibeard 184779@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Following on from <a href="http://pedalonparliament.org/lights-camera-animation/">Katie Cycles to School</a>, I strapped cameras to my 14 year old daughter, wished her luck and shoved her into the traffic maelstrom.</p> <p>Her route takes in the full gamut possible: 20mph local estate, bus lanes, "family network" back streets, segregated<br /> cycle tracks, shared paths, and on road cycle lanes (Quality Bicycle Corridor).</p> <p>Over three days, we captured some normal footage, including two instances of drivers pulling out from side streets without regard for the little-un (all 5'6" of her).</p> <p>Unfortunately, whilst this might be a great follow-up for the PoP video, I don't really have the necessary video editing or YouTube experience to capitalise on it.</p> <p>Would any CCE folk care to lend their expertise? It's about 3x 10 mile trips, so about 3 hours of footage, hence I appreciate that this could take many hours (30?) to put into an effective format.</p> <p>Robert </p>
