OziExplorer… Normally I love OziExplorer. Unfortunately it is infuriating at times. I have probably spent the last half hour searching for a ‘BUG’ that does not actually exist. In OziExplorer you can creat a waypoint which is a point on the map. When you create this point, OziExplorer returns a number which is the internal ID of the point. Fine. Until you delete a point in order to move it. When this happens everything changes… The ID’s of previously created points change. And thus you have two points with an ID of 3 for instance.

Thankfully with the API you can add and delete by name so things are not too bad. I just use the ID as an indicator that the point has been created. I probably should change from storing the number to just saying true of false. That way it will be less likeley for me to be caught by this once more. Yes… Once more. This is not the first time I have made this discovery…

A few months back I got a research question that asked if I would be more or less likeley to buy a car if the price of fuel got to $2.50 a litre, or even $5 a litre. At the time I thought yeah, sure. It will never get to that price. Well, news.com.au is reporting that lebanon and korea might actually push the fuel price to $2/litre. Ouch!
