Since I quit smoking last year there are no personal resolutions left for 2006. I’ll give them another try in 2007, earliest, quitting smoking usually gives you bonus resolutions for at least 5 years. But I do have some wishes I would like to see come true in 2006. So listen up politicians and product managers, here we go:
- World peace
- Fair policies and fair distribution of goods for developing countries
- Ongoing implementation of the Kyoto Protocol
- ArcGIS 9.2 with built-in PostGIS/PostgreSQL and GML support: small businesses like us badly need a cost-efficient Spatial-DBMS solution!
- GPS enabled iPod nano: this gadget has perfect (not to say divine) dimensions and now I would like to see an arrow on its display which routes me to an address out of my address book, further I would appreciate the possibility to save my current location and load it later into tools like Google Earth or automatically add the positions to my photos in iPhoto (there is already an EXIF placeholder for coordinates in the image property window!) by syncing time stamps of photos and gps tracks for instance
- a working INSPIRE service: EEA’s data service and UNEP’s Geo Data Portal are working very well but I would like to see a service similar to Mapdex for EU-specific datasets and some more webservices up and running.
- to be completed…
