I dont post here much these days but i still scan through the threads
and read anything interesting from time to time .

Anybody want to comment on a pothole script i wrote ? .

Its still being worked on but it works fine and while it is really
intented for local use - there is a OTHER section in the pothole
uploader so users can submit pothole photos from all over the uk .

Theres no silly email registration required as i vet any submitted
photos before making them viewable by the public .

While krusty is a bit of troll at times - he isnt a spammer and i'm not
forcing anybody to look at the pothole thingy i wrote - so scroll down
if you want to see the url .

And yes , I'm kinda hoping some of you get your digital camera out and
take some pothole photos .

You must be reading my mind, coz round here (Dundee) there are holes
in the road that would embarrass the Grand Canyon..

Riding my B6 to work there are one or six that are right on my ride
line and it's always interesting to see if (i) they developed or (ii)
been filled in so poorly it's a matter of time before they reappear...

I will attempt some digi photos

I've tried to make the photo uploader as easy as possible by asking
users for one thing at a time .

Your welcome to try out the photo uploader by uploading any old jpgs so
you know what to do when you have the actual pothole photos .

I'll just mark the (any old jpgs) you upload as abuse - so no worrys .

As your in dundee be sure and use the OTHER section instead of one of
the local towns thats listed .

You are right about potholes around Dundee.  We live Monifieth and Ferry
road is a disgrace.

Here in Livingston I saw one appear in a road thats actually a flyover.
A lorry went ovwer it and a big lump of the road surface flew up.
Council are closing the bridge for two weeks apparently to fix it.
I wonder if the hole goes all the way through?

I avoid a few around here (Fife & Edinburgh). I may take my camera with me
next time.

Sounds good to me .

I added a search option last night - so if gordon and a couple of other
users on here upload some photos - a search for edinburgh should be
bring up several potholes .
