Is My Tube Late - Full-time

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 | Projects | No Comments

Is My Tube Late is now full-time. Yey! I’ve converted my old Mac Mini into a server running Ubuntu Server Edition, everything went smoothly, which was cool.

 

I have also bought the http://ismytubelate.com domain name. In the future this will point to an actual page, but for now it just points to my blog post about imtl.

Is My Tube Late?

Friday, August 8th, 2008 | Projects, Uncategorized | 7 Comments

After much inspiration from:

I’m please to announce Is My Tube Late?

In short…There are 12 tube lines, each now has its own Twitter account. I have also created an ‘all tubes’ account that keeps up to date with all the 12 lines.

The status of each line is checked every 5 minutes and if there is a change in status a message is sent to the respective Twitter account and of course, the all tubes accounts.

If you wish you receive these updates on your phone, all you have to do is:

 

  1.  Sign up to Twitter.
  2. Go to the Twitter device setting and set-up your mobile to receive update.
  3. Go to a lines Twitter page
  4. Click follow and then select ’status updates’ to on

 

Due to furniture maneuver (the server will have to be shut down) the service won’t be up 100% until 9th August, but then should be pretty reliable.

Here is the list of all the lines and their Twitter accounts

 

All Lines

Bakerloo

Central

Circle

District

East London

Hammersmith & City

Jubilee

Metropolitan

Northern

Piccadily

Victoria

Waterloo & City

 

If there are any problems feel free to contact me @ reddavis [at] gmail [.] com.

The code will be released on GitHub as soon I tidy it up a bit.

Enjoy!
