The end of an era. After 6 years of teaching and research, it was time to say goodbye to the VUB and @wise.vub.ac.be . It is nice to start something new, but I will definitely miss it.

Submitted my first iOS application for review (as an Android user). One second hand iPhone and a lot of cursing later...

Let's see how this goes @sembeacon.org

Last Friday, 'Le Groupe Belge de Recherche Scientifique Sous-Marine' organised a scientific experiment for underwater positioning of objects using trilateration. The measurements went fine, but the data exchange not so much - even humans seem to need some predefined 'specifications' to communicate.

I am giving a talk at 11:00 at #FOSDEM in the #Geospatial devroom about discovering indoor environments and indoor positioning systems. Primarily discussing the use of POSO and @sembeacon.org to help achieve this goal.

Location data of 800,000 Volkswagen cars leaked, 30M location data points from apps exposed, and 40,000 apps selling location data. This is what happened to your location data in the past month.

We are surveying user perspectives on location data:
