Miles With Maggie

After my first 10,000 miles around the US on the Winnebiko,
leading to the book Computing Across America (now out
of print), I teamed up with a lovely woman named Maggie and
pedaled 6,000 miles down both coasts of the US… then we continued
for another 16,000 via school bus. This all took place between
1986 and 1989, bridging the gap between that first exuberant trip
and the BEHEMOTH epoch, and during that time I posted 55
chapters on the GEnie network. I always meant to use this as the
source of a sequel to the first book, but never got around to it (and
probably never will). There are some wild stories here, and lots
of cultural vignettes of late-80s America from the perspective of a
pre-Internet computerized recumbent bicycle.
WANDER Software
168K Zip File
$20.00
This zip archive is the complete WANDER software package (other than what's in the Linux distro, of course!). Mostly written in Perl by Ned Konz, it includes all data collection code, GPS sentence parsing, Berkeley DB interface, channel management, a simple graphing package, Webmin front-end cgi scripts, database export tools including satellite email, local UI management, and the C program for a PIC-based solar power and battery management system that even schedules the Linux board. All this is well-commented and tested code; if you're designing a system that even slightly overlaps WANDER, then this will pay for itself.
