[OSM-newbies] Introducing Myself

Hello! I like to map things. I think the first map I made was for "Cave 
Adventure" on my Apple //c. I first learned about OpenStreetMap four 
years ago in Brussels @ VJ8. I'm still a newbie. After reading the osm 
wiki for the n-th time today, I finally figured out how cool osmarender is!

I'm particularly interested in using GPS synchronized 3D magnetometers 
(RubiSyncs) to make maps. I have some ideas on how to do this on my wiki 
at http://meaning.com -- basically, RubiSyncs are like extremely 
accurate metal detectors.

Although, right now I'm still trying to figure out how to get a "slippy 
map" working with a mysql 5.0 database, osmosis and osmarender.

cheers,
glenn
