Doodle My Google

I created this poster in 2018 for Doodle My Google, a project in which illustrators were invited to respond to unusual Google search terms submitted by random internet users.

The prompt I received was:

Will Eircode Catch On?

Eircode is Ireland's post code system, which was introduced in July 2015. While there was some trepidation initially as to whether the system would prove viable, I can happily confirm that it has indeed caught on!

[luimnigh]

I was watching Youtube last night, and I came across a CGP Grey video on Post Codes.

And I thought to myself "Oh yeah, we (Ireland) only brought those in a few years ago."

Then imagine my surprise that the second half of the video, after explaining how Post Codes systems usually work, was just entirely praising Ireland's Eircode system.

And the beat goes on.

Day ten of no electricity. The enormous tree which has been hanging on the high tension wires over the driveway - have finally snapped, depositing the tree and the wires across the driveway.

Can’t get the car out.

Even if the power comes back on - we will not be connected. The transformer is in the field across the road, the lines are stuck in the tree and laying across the gravel of the driveway.

How many lads have come out, stared up at it laying along the wires, shaken their heads - and walked away?

Many. It’s always “That’s a problem for….*******” and “we will report it”

This morning we called AGAIN, sent this photo, our eircode, and the MPRN number.

“Someone will be out today you today”

TEN

Fuckin

Days….

Postal Codes: How They Differ Across the World

Postal codes are essential for delivering mail. They help postal services organize and distribute letters, packages, and documents efficiently. Yet, postal codes vary greatly across the globe. Each country has developed its own system. These systems differ in length, structure, and the way they are used. Understanding these differences can help us appreciate the diversity in addressing systems worldwide.

One of the most recognized postal codes is the ZIP code in the United States. The ZIP code system was introduced in 1963. ZIP stands for "Zone Improvement Plan." Initially, ZIP codes had five digits. In 1983, the ZIP+4 system was introduced, adding four extra digits. These codes pinpoint specific locations even more accurately. ZIP codes help organize mail delivery routes, and each code represents a group of addresses within a certain area, such as a town or a section of a city.

In Canada, the postal code system is quite different. Canadian postal codes are alphanumeric, meaning they include both letters and numbers. A typical Canadian postal code looks like this: A1A 1A1. The first letter represents a region of the country, while the following numbers and letters narrow down the location. This system allows for more precision. For example, in Toronto, there are many postal codes, each covering a small area of the city. Canadian postal codes are crucial for organizing mail, especially in densely populated areas.

The United Kingdom also uses an alphanumeric postal code system, but it is structured differently from Canada’s. A UK postal code typically begins with one or two letters, followed by one or two numbers, a space, and then more letters and numbers. For example, a postal code in London might look like SW1A 1AA. The letters at the start represent a city or district. The numbers indicate a more specific area within that city or district. Like in Canada, this system allows for precise mail delivery. Many people in the UK can identify their area by the first part of their postal code.

In Germany, postal codes, called "Postleitzahl" (PLZ), are five-digit numbers. The first two digits represent a larger region, while the last three digits narrow down the area to a specific town or neighborhood. German postal codes are especially useful in big cities like Berlin, where one city can have many different codes. Germany’s system ensures that mail reaches the correct destination quickly and efficiently.

Japan uses a seven-digit postal code system. It starts with three digits, followed by a hyphen and four more digits. The first three digits represent a larger area, such as a city or town. The last four digits pinpoint a smaller area, like a neighborhood or even a specific block. Japanese postal codes are essential in organizing deliveries, especially in densely populated urban areas like Tokyo. They make it possible to send mail accurately even within crowded cities.

In some countries, postal codes do not exist at all. For example, in Ireland, until 2015, there was no nationwide postal code system. Mail was delivered based on street addresses and town names. However, in 2015, Ireland introduced a new system called Eircode. This system assigns a unique code to every address in the country. An Eircode consists of seven characters, with the first three representing a region and the last four being unique to each address. This new system has improved the accuracy and speed of mail delivery across Ireland.

These examples highlight how postal codes differ from one country to another. They vary in structure, length, and format. Some systems use numbers, while others use both letters and numbers. The length of postal codes can also differ, from five digits in Germany to six characters in Canada. These differences reflect the unique needs and challenges of each country's postal system. For example, densely populated countries may need more complex postal codes to ensure accurate delivery, while smaller countries may have simpler systems.

Despite these differences, postal codes play a crucial role in every country’s postal service. They help ensure that mail reaches its destination quickly and efficiently. Without postal codes, postal workers would have a much harder time sorting and delivering mail. Postal codes also help businesses, as they can target their marketing efforts to specific areas. For example, a company may use postal codes to send advertisements only to people in certain neighborhoods.

Travelers and expatriates often notice these differences in postal codes when moving between countries. For example, an American moving to the UK may find the postal codes confusing at first, with their mix of letters and numbers. Similarly, someone moving from Japan to Germany may be surprised by the different lengths and structures of postal codes. Learning to navigate these new systems can be a small but important part of adjusting to life in a new country.

Overall, postal codes are more than just a series of letters and numbers. They are a vital part of the global postal system. They make it possible for mail to travel across cities, countries, and continents. The differences in postal codes around the world reflect the unique geography, population density, and organizational needs of each country. By understanding these differences, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the global postal system and the role postal codes play in keeping it running smoothly.

How to Build the Best Address Autocomplete API

A reliable address autocomplete api is one of the best ways to improve form conversion rates, reduce typos, and prevent expensive customer service problems. It’s important to choose a provider with high accuracy, a reputable reputation, and zero-code integration.

The right autocomplete solution aligns with the way customers search for addresses naturally, across different countries, formats and languages. It should also perform real-time address verification and capture accurate data, even if there are typing or spelling errors in the field.

A top-performing solution uses a user’s geolocation to provide relevant results from the first keystroke. It incorporates global data sets and is optimised for mobile and other devices, ensuring the best possible experience. It also supports the full range of address formats worldwide and includes secondary unit designators such as apartment, suite, and room numbers.

The best address completion api will use verified address databases such as USPS database, Royal Mail’s Postcode Address File (PAF), Eircodes, and more. It should also include all standardized address elements such as city, state, zip code and country. This ensures the best possible match and eliminates false suggestions based on incorrect assumptions about how an address should be formatted. A good address autocomplete api will also support forward and reverse geocoding, which means it can verify an address by matching it with the coordinates of its latitude and longitude. This helps to validate that the address is deliverable, and it will help you find its country code, postcode district, and municipality.

A tiny adventure happened yesterday.

An old guy sidled up to me a few years ago at auction, and started a conversation. He’s an American, who bought a cottage a little ways away from us. One of those dreams that never quite come true, I’m afraid. He lives in the states, spent time off and on in his cottage - and ever since before Covid - he has not returned.

He wrote us a letter, asking us to maybe stop by and “check up on it for me?” He says he has plans to come back in July, maybe with his grown children - and stay in “my cottage” for a few weeks.

Armed with the eircode - Waze Navigation in gear - off we went into the back hills.

Yes. It’s still standing. But part of the roof is blown off, the door is broken, the interior looks to be a grey, moldy mess. The front yard is full of broken washing machines, etc. - and the midges are LEGION.

I took photos as best I could (while flapping away at the midges as my remaining blood was being drained away) - and wrote back to him to say -

“It’s still here, it’s a bit of a mess - and you’ve got your work cut out for you.”

Anyone who thinks they can close the door of an Irish cottage behind them, walk away for seven years - and come back to sleep in it - is a fool. This is a hard country. A damp country. A place which demands constant maintenance to just break even.

I pity his poor adult children if they fall into his delusions of “come and stay in my Irish cottage”

[oidheadh-con-culainn]
