Hi all,

Bloomsday approaches, and one of the puzzles from Ulysses is to try to
cross Dublin without passing a pub. And yes it is possible. ( details:

)

Thanks to OpenStreetMap, and allowing anyone to download the raw data
allows individuals to figure out new uses for the data, and allows you
to do once of things like this. I was able to write a simple script to
work with the OSM data and look for such a route.

More data (incl. the route itself!):
