Hey there,

Thanks to Phillip Pearson (works with the Fire Eagle project) who just
contributed some additions to the Ruby Geohash gem to allow decoding
of geohash strings into bounding boxes. This was just released as the
geohash-1.0.1 gem.

If anyone else would like to be part of the Geohash developer team on
Rubyforge let me know. What I would like to do next is to incorporate
the neighbor bounding box logic found in the http://www.openlocation.org/geohash/geohash-js/
app I did into the Ruby Gem.

Right at the moment I am working on a lot of iPhone/Cocoa location
stuff. The new 3G device looks like a lot of fun, no?

If anybody would like to collaborate on an iPhone project please
contact me; I need more people working on this. Cocoa development is
slow going compared to Ruby.

Best,
Dave

Hi Dave and Phil

thanks for this. looks really cool ... late now but I'll have a closer
look at the code in the morning.

re. the IPhone Coco apps you should get in touch with Kashif (cc'd)
(my partner in Berlin) he may be interested.

RE. the YILP: yahoo now require an appid to call their service will
hopefully get sometime to finish that next week.

OK let me know when you get to berlin ... i might be making my way
there in a month's time
