Notes about the world around us and a personal knowledge base — Antonio Nemcd’s blog
Yesterday I looked at the global Ingress map and found a few interesting points that could be linked to make some decent fields — both in area and in MU.
Going alone was a bit boring, and wandering around unfamiliar places in the dark isn’t very smart, so I found someone to join me on this tough mission 
I cloned an SD card with UltraISO using Bootable → Create Hard Disk Image. The result was an image of the memory card in .ima format.
The card was taken away. Fine, I thought, I’ll restore the image onto another card. And then — the error “Unknown image format”.
I didn’t see that coming.
Not long ago the button for submitting new portals disappeared from Ingress. It’s as if the developers read my mind and stopped the chaos.
So many portals had been added that in some places you can’t take a step without hitting one. That may be fine for leveling up, but it’s very inconvenient for building good, strong portals. These satellite portals just drain energy and resonators. They’re easy to take down in bulk — stand in the middle to cover as many as possible and blast them.
A live example — Gorky Park in Kharkiv:
Two weekends ago I planned some fun for myself — a ride around the blue team’s portals
Look how tempting the fields built by the Ingress Resistance look (or rather, looked).
I was waiting for a parcel from China with new sneakers, planning to get them and ride my bike to a few points marked on the map.
Now I’ve made my own contribution to Ingress.
I submitted a new portal — my first one
At a playground next to a school in Dergachi (near Kharkiv, Ukraine) I noticed this cool thing — a big metal globe.
