Dynamic Resource Map


Live Data, Anywhere, Anytime.

The challenge: Organizations need to track resources  such as facilities, people’s capacity, stock levels, etc and share this information, and visualize it geo-spatially. Unfortunately, high-end GIS services are expensive and hard to use, lack inclusive collaboration features, and are not designed around the needs of mobile
workers. This technology helps people track their work, resources and results geographically in a simple and collaborative environment that can be accessed from anywhere. You can create shared or private maps; see and update the information anytime, and perform queries and updates even over SMS (such as getting the free bed availability in the nearest 3 clinics). This project was announced in late 2009 and has been developed in our iLab in Cambodia as an open-source Ruby project; is already integrated with mobile platform for updates and queries, and beta users are providing us useful feedback every day! Email us if you want to try out the early version and influence the agile design process.

Cambodian Banknotes of Old Days

Cambodian currency - the riel - appeared in 1955, when it replaced the formerly used indochinese piastres.

Phnom Krom Hilltop Temple

This is the big hill that you see near the landing if you head to Siem Reap by bullet boat. The hilltop area provides magnificent panoramic views of the Great Lake Tonle Sap, the surrounding countryside and Siem Reap town. The commanding view of the lake was used for a more practical, albeit more deadly, purpose in the fairly recent past as evidenced by a big gun mounted on the side of the hill and pointing toward the landing part of the Great Lake. A modern-era active temple shares the hilltop with the temple ruins of Phnom Krom. Thee are seven crumbling towers among the ruins in two lines, with four towers east and three towers a bit higher up nearby and west. The 11th ? century ruins are definitely in need of a facelift and it looks like they may get one at s0om e point as a sign in front states that a project is underway. Unfortunately, the same sign has made the same announcement with no results apparent since a year ago when I last visited ...
