The reason I created OpenMusicFestival in the first place was so that I could migrate MotionNotion.com from WordPress (And its unsupported WordTour plugin) to Drupal 7.

After Minehost went belly-up, the communal Minecraft server I played on went dead —and stayed dead — for about 6 months. However, I have revived it, on brand spanking new hardway and several major iterations of Minecraft later! Not only that, but it's running the bad-assery that is Tekkit Lite, which means you can do crazy things like build automated mining robots, write simple computer programs in-game, harness the power of volcanoes, even create whole new dimensions via books like in Myst.

For my MA project, I compiled a massive database of popular outdoor British music festivals and cross-referenced that with Met Office weather data. I then fed this into a Drupal install to make it all fancy and consumable via RDF/Sparql. Visit the result here. What follows is the article that accompanied it.

I found this particularly illuminating:

Londoners collectively spent an estimated 36 million hours waiting for late buses in 2011, data revealed through FOI has shown. That means every man, woman and child in London spent over four and a half hours waiting for late buses last year alone.
