During the day, you can find me doing cadastral mapping and sys admin stuff for Kendall County, Illinois.
I made some myself a few years back, and a word of advice to whomever makes these:
Reinforce the base of the palm like it's the heel of a sock. You'll need to use a *very* thin yarn so as not to impact typing, but that means a fine wool like merino. Which consequently means not very durable.
All the friction, especially on the mouse hand, will wear a hole pretty quickly.
Thanks for setting up your video site, it's such a great resource!
And all this just because I want to use legal descriptions in JOSM. But it looks like it's working!
Angle part of the status bar is giving me a "backsight" angle now, too.
Ah! It was much earlier in the file. Your comment got me looking for something based on the length of a string, and indeed.
Seems they are set on the largest anticipated values, but replacing all that with an integer works perfectly.
Any #JOSM devs about? Or possibly just #Java folks? I'm only just dipping my toes in on Java, trying to modify JOSM. I am completely flummoxed as to how these status bar elements have different sizes.
I'm looking at these lines:
The things seem to be added the same way, but the result is different. Their widths must be defined *somewhere*, but I can't figure it out. Something to do with the GridBagConstraints? Any advice is welcome.
@crowdotblack I hope it works out! If I want a ticketing system, I'll probably need to host it myself…
"GIS doesn't have a dumb ticketing system, just email them, they'll get back quicker."
Swap "a programmer" for "in GIS" in the the classic Will Smith meme, pretty much there.
Ha! I literally can't. County IT is stretched so thin that I actually asked to take on some of the backend maintenance myself, rather than continue to tolerate a 2008 server that hadn't been meaningfully maintained for most of a decade. So I brought some of this on myself!
Still, I don't see how running a GIS server makes me the go-to guy to answer questions about why your computer won't open a CSV file. But somehow, it does!
Can't stop thinking about the term "shadow IT" now that I've learned it.
I started my workday with a single project in mind, and hours in, I still haven't really started. Why? Shadow IT support emails!
"We can't log into the field app, can you fix this?"
"This map is loading slow, can you do something about it?"
"What are these weird data discrepancies I'm seeing?"
&c.
Don't wanna play Pass the Buck, but 80% of these requests are not even in my control. But sure, ask GIS.
Some terrifically titled papers from a discovered collection of NASA research documents found in a skip

Every enterprise app feels like typing on a mushy membrane keyboard. You click a button and get a gentle animation, a swooshy transition, a soft bounce, and zero clear feedback that anything actually happened. The entire B2B software industry optimized for how tools feel during a fifteen-minute sales demo instead of how they perform across an eight-hour workday, and the result is professional software with the tactile precision of poking a marshmallow.
Today I was allowed to get very close to this beautiful female kestrel.
@CleoQc Ah, whoops! Didn't see you'd already updated it with posts re: overknitting. I like the contrasting color choice!
First things first! With that many live stitches, you'll want to secure them before attempting a patch or a darn.
Do some steeking around the holes to prevent them from getting any larger.

Once you've secured everything, the repair approach is up to you. It's a lot of rows and stitches, but if you have the patience for it, you can Swiss darn over the entire area.
Someone is spoofing @ADSBexchange to create that meme of Vance (with 'AF-1', over Mar-a-Lago) with path elevation data

Thought #STAC was supposed to help things be more discoverable? I mean, I like that they're trying, I guess.
oh my gosh, the new PostGIS logo is incredible
Why do RSS readers look like email clients? “When we applied that same visual language to RSS (the unread counts, the bold text for new items, the sense of a backlog accumulating) we imported the anxiety without the cause.” https://www.terrygodier.com/phantom-obligation
