Google Maps Mashup of the Secretary of State’s Travel

This is a mashup I got to build at work. It gathers up all the Brightcove videos, Flickr photos and formal remarks for each trip the Secretary of State takes and plots them over a Google Map.

You can view each trip as a single point and then click on a particular trip to see where the Secretary stopped during the trip. Each stop pops up a balloon that contains all the information about the stop.

Check it out on the www.state.gov homepage or click the link below to go directly to the map.

Bypassing Cache for Developing Gadgets on Shindig

I have been working some with the Gadget Spec and developing gadgets for use on closed networks. I have been using Shindig to render my gadgets and it is really big on caching gadgets for performance. This is quite annoying when you are developing and tweaking a particular gadget because your changes don't get shown like they should when you refresh the browser.

Anyway, it turns out there is a simple fix for this. Normally you call a URL similar to this to render you gadget in Shindig.


http://your-shindig-server/gadgets/ifr?url=http://url/to/your/gadget.xml

To get Shindig to bypass its cache and pull the latest gadget code all you have to do is add a bpc=1 to the URL query string.

This makes working on a gadget a lot less painful.
